Consumer Description

2004 KIA AMANTI - ON COLD STARTUP THE ENGINE SOMETIMES REVS AGGRESSIVELY WHEN PULLED INTO GEAR, CAUSING THE CAR TO LURCH FORWARD OR BACK IF THE BRAKE IS NOT FIRMLY APPLIED. IT IS A DANGEROUS SCENARIO. I'VE ASKED KIA TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM AND THEY'VE SAID THEY CANNOT IDENTIFY THE CAUSE AND HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT. *TR
