Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STALL, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED BLINKING, SHORTLY AFTER THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AS WELL. I PARKED THE CAR IN A SAFE LOCATION TO CHECK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I NEEDED TO JUMP THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES IN ORDER FOR IT TO TURN BACK ON. THE ENGINE LIGHT STILL APPEARS BLINKING AS I DROVE IT TO GET A DIAGNOSTIC READING . WHILE DRIVING THE CAR , LEAVING IDLE THE CAR WOULD JERK AND HAVE A HARD TIME MOVING BACK INTO MOTION. THE CODE READ P1236 KNOCK SENSOR FAULT/SENSOR BAD. MY CAR HAD JUST COME OUT OF KIA TWO WEEKS PRIOR IN FULL HEALTH. THIS ISSUE CAME OUT OF NO WHERE.
