Description of the problem | My vehicle stalls in motion. Speed is inconsequential. Whether i'm on a city road or expressway, the check engine light flickers, and the engine stalls. It's very dangerous on the expressway. I have to coast in front of other speeding care to the shoulder. After a couple of minutes, the vehicle will start again and the check engine light turns off again. The situation repeats itself. Check engine code reflects faulty map sensor. It's been replaced twice. I continue paying for diagnoses, but the answer is the same. Map sensor, or we don't know. It continues to be a safety issue. Now the air bag light is illuminated, and i don't know if it's related or an airbag issue, and i can't continue paying for the kia dealer, or certified repair shops to charge me only to say "i'm not sure." the buttons on my steering wheel are no longer working consistently. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It's random. One repair facility said they can replace my main computer for about $2000, but they can't guarantee it will resolve the problem. |
