Consumer Description

VEHICLE OUT OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING ON EXPRESSWAY STARTED TO DECELERATE I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER SAFELY AND NOTICED THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD WERE ILLUMINATED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ENGINE OIL LIGHT. I TOOK VEHICLE TO HAVOLINE OIL EXPRESS AND THEY CHECKED MY CODES CHANGED SPARK PLUGS AND IGNITION COILS BUT CAR STILL SPUTTERS AND POWER IS LOW LIGHTS ARE DIM I HAVE IT NOW AT A KIA DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE ENGINE OR SOMETHING IN THE POWERTRAIN. NOTHING LIKE THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO THE VEHICLE SINCE I'VE PURCHASED IT.
