| Description of the problem | I have had 4 instances of what feels like the car slipping out of "drive". While in drive, when i press on accelerator but while the rpm's go up, the car doesn't move.. Once i remove my foot and then press again on the accelerator, it proceeds normally. Kia cannot find anything wrong with vehicle but last instance was less than 30 days ago. This is after kia had to replace the block the first month of ownership of this brand new vehicle. |
