Description of the problem	When i got in my car the check engine can on. I started driving my car to work, because i was not sure why this light came on because this was/is a new car. I have less than 19k miles on my car. As i attempted to get on the highway the car refused to speed up. The max that i could drive was 60 mph. I had to pull over to the side of the road because my car would not pick up speed. So i called the service department, who informed me that when i brought my car in for an oil change in january that they has place a saftey feature on my car to keep the engine from blowing up. According to the dealership, there is possibly something wrong with the engine, however, they are starting out by changing the wiring first. I can not explain how different this drives since the wires have been changed. It is the worst drive. The car is very loud it does not pick up speed when it should and it does not slow down as fast as it use to. Needless to say, i am having issues with this car and seemingly every time i take it in for repairs, the car gets worst. I will never ever buy a new/used kia again.
