NHTSA Complaint #11121530 — 2012 KIA OPTIMA HYBRID

VEHICLE HAS 130,000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER WHEN IN CRUISE AND MOTION IS LOST. STEPPING ON THE GAS DOES NOT GET ANY ACCELERATION. THIS OCCURRED AGAIN ON A HIGHWAY AND DISPLAY GIVES ME THE HYBRID ERROR DO NOT DRIVE WARNING. THIS OCCURS WHEN CRUISE IS SET AND ALSO NOT IN CRUISE. I STEP ON THE GAS AND THERE IS NO ACCELERATION. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS THE CAR FUNCTIONS NORMALLY. I AM ALSO HAVING BACK UP CAMERA ISSUES WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. MY DISPLAY GIVES ME THE WARNING MESSAGE ABOUT OBJECTS BEHIND ME BUT THE IMAGE SOMETIMES DOES NOT SHOW. THE IMAGE SOMETIMES IS THERE WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND SOMETIMES NOT. THESE PROBLEMS ALL STARTED AT THE SAME TIME. KIA WAS CONTACTED AS WE THOUGHT IT MAY JUST BE A COMPUTER UPGRADE. THEY TOLD THE DEALER THERE ARE NO UPGRADES. WE ALSO HAD A NON DEALER CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR ERROR CODES BUT THERE WEREN'T ANY. THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT FINE.
