| Description of the problem | On the first incident, i went out to the van, a 2004 kia sedona ex and it wouldn't even turn over, just made a clicking noise. Then it would turn over and not fire. I called roadside assistance to have them tow it, but tried later before they arrived and pressed the accelerator to the floor and it finally fired up. I thought maybe it was just bad gas since it was fine after that. Yesterday, my wife is driving it and the radio cuts off and she begins to lose power and cannot accelerate. She was where she needed to go when it happened, so she went on in, it started back up, but then she had the same thing not even a block later of the power cutting out and no acceleration. After this it would just click when the key was turned and do what it did to me. *nm |
