Description of the problem | While driving normally on the highway, i've continuously experienced the car randomly revving between 3000 and 4000 rpms while driving on the highway and on regular roads. It will get stuck at 2000 rpms and will not accelerate or decelerate no matter how hard the gas/brake is pressed. It has been taken to the dealership i purchased it from twice now, and both times they have told me they cannot find anything wrong with the car, no codes or anything. I do not feel safe in a car i'm paying $402 a month for. I have contacted kia corporate in atlanta and opened a case with kia consumer assistance online. Waiting response from both. Will not buy another kia after i lemon law this car. My family has always had kia's and never had any issue with them. I previously had a 2016 sportage that also had transmission problems. |
