| Description of the problem | I went on a trip from orlando to keywest with two young children in the car and i broke down. Thankfully, i had through insurance free towing. Got towed to an automotive store and they said nothing was wrong they checked the battery and accelerator and multiple items i have proof of on paper. I began to drive again and my car wouldnt start when i stopped to get gas. Someone had to jump my car at the gas station and it happens on and off not everytime but i have to push my gas and turn my key at the same time to get my car to start. In addition, when i am driving i hear sounds and brought it to kia in keywest. I bought an accelerator for $717. 54 and still having issues! Luckily, i just made it home tonight with my children and we are safe but this is still an issue and after paying all of that money i am livid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
