Description of the problem | Loses acceleration going uphill. Knocks and rattles when car is turned on. Previous car was a sorento and did the same. Shut off on me in the middle of the freeway with my children and myself in it. Felt like the engine fell out from underneath the vehicle. I seeing the beginning phases of the same issue with my soul. Im scared that this car will not only shut off on me while driving on the freeway but that it may cost me my life if someone were to rearend me when my car loses power to an issue no one seems to know what the problem may be. There should be a recall on all kia engines and is poor manufacturing. Major issues with this brand of car is the electrical, engine and that it sucks up so much oil without warning. |
