Consumer Description
The digital instrument cluster panel goes blank intermittently and without warning while I am driving.Within moments, the instrument panel reads: "System Reset". The information then reappears on the panel, displaying important information (speedometer, fuel gauge, etc.). My speed, however has been significantly reduced. I was driving on the highway at 70 mph when the instrument panel shut down (went blank). When it reappeared after "System Reset", I was going 48 mph.I believe this is a safety issue as it fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 101 "Controls and Displays and 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems". Also, the car is dangerous as I have no control over my speed. I could easily get rear ended by another vehicle which is another safety issue because the lithium batteries in this hybrid plug-in are in the back of the vehicle. This has occurred four times. The 2023 Kia Sportage Plug-In Vehicles were recalled due to this same problem. I am requesting the 2024 Kia Sportage Plug-In Vehicles are issued a recall also.
