Description of the problem	I noticed on monday that the car seemed to be struggling with acceleration. It seemed to be slow and sluggish. I drove the car home not exceeding 40 mph. Next morning when starting the vehicle the dashboard is lit up with an indication of engine malfunction. I only had to drive the car a mile so i continued on to work but i had no power at all. The car was struggling to make it up a small hill and i had no speed on level ground. I am afraid to drive the vehicle at this point. I have scheduled an appointment but the next question is how much is this going to cost? Wow i have only owned camry's for the past 15 years and thought i would try a kia. They look nice. Not sure i will keep this vehicle much longer.
