Consumer Description
The power train, engine, and breaks are defective. The vehicle has malfunctioned over 10 times in the past 5 months and it happens randomly. The same issues occur each time which where the car will not drive or will be extremely jolty, the gears will not shift, the breaks are delayed, and the engine will rev (RPMs will go up and down) when put in park. This has happened in the middle of an intersection and on major roads and highways. This issue puts myself and others around me at risk. The problem has been reproduced at an authorized Kia dealership and has been attempted to be fixed on many occasions. It has been inspected and serviced by Kia service technicians. There are many warning lights and error messages that appear when the malfunction happens including: check engine light, hybrid battery light, ABS system warning, BDS system warning, emergency braking system error message, electric power steering light, master warning light, engine oil pressure light, charging system light, regenerative breaking warning light, along with engine control system and battery control system error warning messages.
