Consumer Description

P050A ENGINE CODE KEEPS REOCCURRING WITH NO FIX FROM KIA. THEY KEEP SUGGESTING "FIXES" LIKE REPLACING THE COLD AIR INTAKE VALVE. CAI MECHANICAL BOARD. CLEANING THE CARBON IS REALLY PRICEY, BUT THE ERROR CODE JUST KEEPS COMING BACK. SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON. CHECK ENGINE CODE KEEPS POPPING UP DESPITE EVERYTHING RUNNING FINE AND BEING CLEAN.
