| Description of the problem | Starting in 2018, on 6 occasions and at least 3 times in 2019, when i try to brake the car actually accelerates. It has happened while driving on streets and in parking lots. I have taken it to 2 dealers and both have been unable to assist me, as they say they can't duplicate the problem. I have read that several different kias in different years have had this same problem. |
