Description of the problem | My 07 kia sorento when trying to enter the state highway. When you push down on the accelerator pedal. The viechel state to accelerate and then all of a sudden the esc. Light comes on and the suv. Goes into safe limp mode. Where it will not accelerate and will not climb over 20mph. For a very long period. My family and i have been in a few situations where we were almost hit. Looking online i can see that this is far from being a isolated ordeal. And that because of the age of the viechel . I am reading where more and more people are dealing with the same issue but not going to the dealer because of the cost involved. With the number of the viechels sold there have to be quite a few that have resulted in a accident that involves bodily injury. If not god forbid even death. I just hope this reaches the desk or screen of someone who can investigate this matter. A lot better than what i am capable of doing. |
