| Description of the problem | My car is very sluggish when i press the gas pedal it feels like my engine does not want to go, and when i'm idling i feel as if my engine will stall unless i press the gas, i have contacted kia regarding this problem and the associate i spoke with said that my vehicle has been recalled under the sc176 campaign ( this was in february 2019) it is now april 14th, and according to kia my car is not officially recalled as of yet.. Basically i feel i'm driving around in a ticking time bomb. . And according to the recall i am, the recall is due to a possible engine failure and fire .. My 2015 kia soul only has 22,500 miles on it ... I feel kia is ( no pun intended ) stalling regarding this highly dangerous safety recall. |
