Consumer Description
I WAS ON INTERSTATE 95 WHEN MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO GET OFF A EXIT TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR. I TURNED IT OFF AND IT WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. A WRECKER TOOK IT TO A BODY SHOP AND MY MOTOR SEIZED UP DUE TO BEARING WEAR. I WAS SO TERRIFIED AND HOPING I COULD GET OVER AND OFF THE EXIT SAFELY. I AM JUST SHY OF 90,000 MILES, BUT HAVE ONLY HAD IT SINCE AUGUST. I HAVE READ MANY REVIEWS AND POST ABOUT THE RECALL IN THE 2014 KIA OPTIMA MOTORS AND I HAD THE SAME ISSUES.
