Description of the problem	After having an upgrade to the system our car now goes into limp mode. They have changed several parts and $4,000. 00 later they still can not fix the problem. They just keep charging us for different parts and our car still goes into limp mode even though they have said they have fixed it. One day the car will run fine and the next we will be driving and cannot go over 40 miles per hour no matter how hard you are hitting the gas. Several hours later the check engine light will come on but according to kia it has nothing to do with limp mode and all of these parts have already been replaced.
