Consumer Description

WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL AFTER STOPPING FOR A LIGHT, ENGINE IS SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HAD IT IN THE REPAIR SHOP SEVERAL TIMES, CLEANING THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SWITCH CONTACTS, AND VARIOUS OTHER WIRING CHECKS. THE LAST REPAIR REPLACED THE COMPUTER CONTROL MODULE AT A COST OF MORE THEN $2,000. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE REPAIRPAL WEB SITE. SO FAR, NO RECALL NOTICE HAS BEEN ISSUED. KIA IS REAPING THE BENEFITS OF ALL THE PROBLEMS WE ALL HAVE BEEN HAVING.
