| Description of the problem | While driving at 55mph 2 lane rual road check engine light came on then after min later esc off light came on and all the sudden i lost all throttle and rpm gas petal to floor and would only cost at 20mph and less on incline almost rear ended due to loss of throttle with no notice to traffic behind me .. Turned on emergency flashers found a place 10 miles down the road to pull off .. No cell service in rual area cranked veh back up and all lights were off started and throttled right for about a mile their was no rain snow just sunny day .. Have called kia they said they have never heard of such since we have the covid .. I went online and see alot of complaints about this issue so i have no faith that kia will fix it since all the reviews .. I had a throttle position sensor ordered it thru kia which at first they said they could not sell the sensor only but the whole throttle body.. I had to refer them to a tsa bulletin and guess what they could order one at $40 compared to $350 .. I replaced the part and it is still doing the same thing .. Frustrated with this it should be a recall since this is a ongoing issue with kia and huanda veh till date from what i have read online .. If you wish to look at my veh to see the problem you are welcome to because its unsafe for me to drive 165,000 miles |
