Description of the problem | As i was making a right hand turn on to a busy highway, my gas peddle stopped working and i was stuck in the middle of the road with on coming traffic. My car was taken to kia and had a wire replaced that connected to the computer. A few days later as i was on the interstate my car was trying to drive itself. My car was trying to excel faster than i wanted it to go. I was behind a tracker trailer and i was scared i was going to hit it. My car is now at kia service. They were going to replace the full throttle body but then received notice to put a halt on that because of another issue. I do not feel safe putting my children back in this vehicle. |
