| Description of the problem | Vehicle continually flashes check engine light and once read at dealership shows engine misfire codes, however once code is cleared issue does not come back for months. Misfire causes decreased engine poser and eventually if code is not cleared will result in loud dinging noise. Kia has not been able to find any issues or find anything that can explain this. There are multiple people online with this same issue and yet no recall for this issue. Kia needs to do something. Vehicle can be sitting or in motion under normal operating environments (no off-roading). |
