Description of the problem	I picked up a brand new kia sportage sx turbo awd with 34 miles on it today. It was driving kind of hesitantly, seeming like it was misfiring. About 30 miles later, the check engine light turned on. I immediately called kia customer service as i have an established relationship with them. They advised to take it to the nearest dealership. I took my car to summit place kia in auburn hills where the initial diagnosis based on a check engine light reading was an improper fuel/air mixture in cylinder 2. I am not sure what protocol will be followed from this point or what actions will be needed to rectify this issue. However, it is apparent that there is an issue with kia's gdi turbo engines.
