| Description of the problem | While accelerating to merge onto the freeway, the car seemed to lose power. It continued to run for a while, but would not accelerate past 60 mph. Light went on indicating engine problem. Pulled car over to side of the road and it died completely. We had a very similar problem with this vehicle approximately 2 years ago. After bringing the car into our dealership multiple times 2 years ago, our kia dealership told us that they could not recreate the problem and reset some electrical portion of the car. Both times that this (2015 and 2013/4) happened we had our young children in the car. I fear for my safety and the safety of my children in this car. |
