| Description of the problem | Shifting from 1st to 2nd clutch pedal lost tension and went to floor. Luckily we were at low mph and were able to pull over to call for assistance. Successfully was able to place in neutral. Car still running. This could have been disastrous if we were in another gear at higher rpm. Kia should address the clutch cable issue. |
