When you climb hills like the one on interstate 20 or a small incline in our driveway the car want go the gas is mashed to the floor and instead of the car speeding up it slows down. Doing 80 I-20 start up hill slows down to below 60mph. When you to start out of the drive way or from a stop sign you just barley mash the gas the car takes off likes its going to the fire. Drive the car 2 1/2 miles and it will use 3/4 tank of gas. Brakes grab when roads are not wet they are dry as the desert. 01-28-2015 jt's kia, the place we bought it from, said, "they found nothing wrong with the car and they did not do any work to the car 01-28-2015 got the car back from jt's they did do something about the brakes and the gas because the brakes are tighter than they were before we took it to them and the gas hand doesn't move like it did. It still loses power going up hills on I-20 but not as bad as it did of course they weren't any as step as the one around exit 11 the grainteville exit.

Kia sportage 2013 plate. Complete brake failure on approach to junction despite pumping brake pedal. Resulted in crash and injuries sustained. Malfunction of ability to deactivate cruise control by applying brake in addition, on one occasion. Currently under investigation. Have informed manufacturer. Awaiting investigation outcome.
After around 13/14k miles, the front brakes began to make extreme noises like very loud sandpaper against metal when backing out of my garage. After the car ran a little bit, they would stop but then it progressed to a constant embarassing noise. I have had it back three times in which they either cleaned or sprayed the rotors. This last visit they have even put a graphite base on them. Two weeks since they did that application, here I am having the same problem even though they tell me the brakes are still good. They wanted to give me a goodwill replacement on the rotors and pads but wanted me to sign off that I would not have further claims. What if my problem is not the pads or rotors? I have owned 5 kia's since 2009 and have never had this problem on any of them. When I now apply the brakes hard, I get an internal grinding noise.
