Description of the problem | Hi engine keep losing power because the ewga voltage is incorrect. I've had this adjusted 3 times so far over 60,000 miles but it keeps coming back. Now i need to go in and spend another 200 dollar to have it fixed ofr the 4th time. Something is wrong with the design and it is dangerous as the engine suddenly loses power. How to adjust the ewga voltage is described here: https://static. Nhtsa. Gov/odi/tsbs/2013/sb-10090612-5448. Pdf it should be made a mandatory and permanent fix paid by kia for the life time of the car. |
