Description of the problem	I have been experiencing issues with my 2016 kia optima since i purchased it on september, 5th 2016. A short time after owning my new vehicle, first the car started to hesitate when starting as if it was struggling to start, the push button would turn red and the indicator lights would light up on the dashboard as if the key was not recognized in the car. The car would also self accelerate. On or around august 16th or 17th the car stalled out while it was being driven,we attempted to restart the car and it turned on like normal so the tow was canceled. , the service writer & kia all have copies of the videos the mechanic has also told me he was able to duplicate the issue, the solution was to change the fuel pump and service the fuel delivery system. Upon the services being completed we were contacted by the service manager, and kia that the car was ready to be picked up on september 6th 2017. While driving the vehicle home we noticed some hesitation while idle, also some strong acceleration when taking off from red-light or stop sign. While parked we noticed some strong vibration from the motor which the car had not had previously before service. Also after several attempts of starting the car, the car would either start rough, and also still had the same original occurrence as before with the key not being recognized in the car. With the car not fully starting and the push button turning red with the instrument panel lighting up with the key not in car light along with some others. On thursday september 7th, 2017 at about 4:30pm i had the cruise control set to 80 mph, the car hesitated a couple times, then self decelerated to 73 mph, reaccelerated to 82 mph then self adjusted to 80 mph, i contacted the dealership right after the occurrence i was told i had to wait to bring the car back in they had no loaner vehicles, not to use the cruise control feature.
