| Description of the problem | Today 9/15/2018 approx. 3pm i had the most frightening nerve wrecking experience with my kia rondo 2008. I was pulling into a parking space and my foot was on the brake slowing down going into the parking space all of a sudden my car accelerated jumped the median missing the car on my left and missing the car on my right knocked some shrubs before it barely missed hitting the tree. There was a thick branch stuck in the back wheel, driver side and damage to the front panel under the car. Thanking god no one was walking by or moving cars. I called kia and have an appointment to get it there for the technician to inspect it. This is really really frightening and dangerous. I am scared to drive this car until it is fully checked. Kia this is my life . |
