| Description of the problem | When in motion the car would sputter and struggle to reach speeds over 30 mph. Multiple times the check engine light would come on and read as a knock sensor. Replaced the knock sensor but the car continued to struggle to accelerate and would sputter. Took it to kia and they discovered it was the hydraulic module. They fixed it costing me $1500. I discovered the other day that my car has a recall for another issue but saw the car has an investigation on going about this issue. |
