| Description of the problem | While decelerating to a stop, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact restarted the engine and the vehicle operated normally. The failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the defect could not be duplicated. They replaced the throttle body,but the problems till happening so many times,they also did a update on the computer and again the problem still there.... I am so scared to drive this car. I know am not the only one with the same issue and seems that kia doesn't care since they keep saying we need duplicated.. This happen in different situations witch i could be involved ina serious accident with my kids... |
