Description of the problem | While merging (accelerating) onto the interstate highway the engine abruptly shut off and my 2018 kia sportage 2. 4l rolled to a stop in the merge lane. I restarted the vehicle to move it to off the road to a safer location and the engine seemed to be limiting the vehicle power. The check engine light flashed. I later found out that the engine was putting out a trouble code p1326 which i understand from a code search may be related to excessive engine vibration issues. I am taking the vehicle to the kia dealer for analysis. My understanding is that (hyundai motor group) who are the parent company of kia motors have a recall for replacement of the 2018 2. 4l hyundai engines but not yet for the kia engines, though these engines are manufactured nearly identically. |
