Description of the problem | Vehicle's abs brake activate randomly illuminating the abs brake signal on dashboard,while in motion and without touching the brakes. This causes the vehicle to decelerate and has made the vehicle come to a near complete stop. Even if the gas pedal is pressed to accelerate the vehicle will not increase speed, only decrease. The issue happens 8/10 times while making turns and approx 5/10 while driving straight on freeway . This happened on 11/08/2019 in the evening, i immediately took my vehicle back to kia and they claimed to have driven my car for 20 miles and didn't see or experience any issues. My car is a 2012 and only has 58, 388 miles. I demanded they keep looking but they caught an attitude like i made the scenario up and any stated that i should drive the car with their mechanic as they "cannot replicate my driving", like i'm driving in the damn indy 500. Since it is now sunday, and the dealer is closed it will be sitting in their service center monday morning! |
