Yes ive been experienceing a strong gas smell when idle and a fast not normal oil consumption and problems withe the elctric system
The car engine stopped running while traveling in traffic, steering and braking effected, quickly rolled to a stop. Engine totally and quickly lost all power. High pressure fuel pump found to have broken by kia dealer, and replaced.
Failure to accelerate,jurking,stalling while driving on highway. Was told there a rack and pinion tie rod system needs to be replaced and steering pin. Car does deceleration, oil burns up in a week.
The engine started making a ticking noise. Which got louder and faster as I drove. I went 20 minutes down the rode and the car stopped and started rolling forward with no power as if I was in neutral. I tried to jump the car and did not succeed, the oil was bone dry. I added oil and the same noise arose and the car stopped again. Lastly. I could not get my car to go 2-4 min without it turning off. I will be able to provide a video of this happening, I do could not load the file choosen
When placed in drive, and gas pedal is depressed the car jerks forward and back and will not accelerate. It shakes the whole car.. Does it if car is cold or hot but seems to happen more when car is not full hot. Unsafe when pulling into traffic.
Purchased this car used with 16k miles in sept 2018. Stopped at an intersection and when trying to pull out the engine would not respond to the gas pedal. Engine remained at an idle even after flooring the gas pedal several times. Almost got hit!! I recycled the key several times and finally it worked. I took to the dealer and got the " no problem found " now I experience a rough idle and a strange feeling in the brake pedal when braking. Today I started the car and the engine would not go over 3000 rpms. Cycled the key and it was ok. I'm afraid to drive this car for fear it may kill me! Please help.
When driving, especially going around curves, and turning corners, with foot completely on, pressing down on pedal, vehicle completely stops in the middle of the road. Have to take foor totally off pedal, try pressing down again to hopefully get it to go again
Foot pressed on gas just stops in middle of the road. Have to let up and press second time to go again . While driving
