NHTSA Complaint #11415619 — 2015 KIA SOUL

SO I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM RUNNING ERRANDS, CURRENT SPEED WAS 45 BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC SIGNS AND THEN HAD TO YIELD BECAUSE I NEEDED TO TURN LEFT, STARTED GOING ONCE I WAS ABLE TO SO SPEED WAS ABOUT 0 THIS TIME, TRIED TO TURN AND START TO GET CAR UP TO SPEED AGAIN WHEN CAR DECIDED TO START STUTTERING AND THE CAR ENDED UP NOT GOING PAST 20 MPH. IT WENT FROM 45 TO 20 AND REFUSED TO GO HIGHER, EVEN WENT DOWN TO 10. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME AND WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER. CAR WOULD DRIVE AFTER CHECKING TO MAKE SURE THERE WERE NO LEAKS OR ANYTHING ELSE VISIBLE. CAR WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT GO PAD 25 IN A 55. WAS A VERY DANGEROUS RIDE HOME BECAUSE CAR HAD STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS OUT OF NOWHERE. CAR CURRENTLY STILL JUMPS AND HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN SINCE 1ST SCARE. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED IN 2019 BY THE DEALERSHIP AFTER ONLY PURCHASING THE CAR AND HAVING IT FOR 2 MONTHS WITH AN OLDER ENGINE, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAR ALSO RECENTLY WAS CHECKED FOR RECALLS WHEN OIL CHANGE WAS DUE
