Consumer Description

CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON. 4000+RPM BRAKES APPLIED DID NOT STOP IT. MISTAKE WAS TO KILL ENGINE WHICH KILLS THE BRAKES AND STEERING! LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED OR KILLED. STARTED CAR AGAIN AND ENGINE REVVED UP BY ITSELF. TURNED OFF AND ON AND ENGINE WAS NORMAL. IMPORTANT TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL NOT TO TURN OFF, NEUTRAL ALLOWS BRAKES TO WORK!!!!! CALLED KIA THEY SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS.
