Consumer Description
WHEN STARTING MY VEHICLE IN PARK, I PUT IT IN REVERSE, AND IT BARELY GOES. IT SEEMS TO LACK POWER, OR IS BEING BOGGED DOWN. IT ALMOST COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THEN IT SUDDENLY KICKS IN, AND JERKS YOU BACKWARDS VERY FAST. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE I COULD EASILY HIT SOMETHING OR CRASH, BECAUSE THE CAR BECOMES ALMOST OUT OF CONTROL. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO KICK BACK IN EITHER. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE KIA DEALER, BUT THEY SAID IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM OF COURSE. SO I AM STUCK WITH A CAR THAT IS HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THEM RIGHT NOW. I AM NOT WORKING, AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE CAR RIPPED ME OFF. I HAVE ALREADY PUT A LOT OF MONEY INTO IT. IT SEEMS TO DO IT THE WORST WHEN IT RAINS FOR SOME REASON.
