NHTSA Complaint #11193122 — 2013 KIA RIO

SITTING AT A RED LIGHT IN CITY TRAFFIC, PRESSED THE GAS TO GO WHEN GREEN LIGHT OCCURRED AND CAR STALLED. LIGHTS, POWER WINDOWS, RADIO ALL STILL WORKED, BUT THE ENGINE WAS DEAD. LET CAR SIT FOR 30 MINUTES, IT STARTED UP COMPLETELY FINE. CAR STALLED AGAIN AT RED LIGHT WHILE AT IDLE IN CITY TRAFFIC. LET CAR SIT FOR A FEW MOMENTS, STARTED IT UP AND DROVE HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO BATTERY LIGHT, NO LOW OIL LIGHT. TOOK CAR TO NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC, WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE IN GREAT WORKING ORDER, GROUND CONNECTIONS WERE FINE. THEY TOOK CAR ON 20 MILE RIDE WITH NO STALLING. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG EITHER. TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OTHER THAN THAT, THEY CAN NOT HELP ME. CAR CONTINUES TO STALL WHILE IDLE WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.
