Description of the problem | Driver experienced initial bogging down on acceleration before normal acceleration occurred. There have been two occurances thus far. Happened while one foot on brake and the other on accelerator in order to get rapid response changing lanes in traffic and other while making left turn through traffic. Very dangerous to experience bogging instead of acceleration. This was a recall problem with my 2011 jeep gc. Replaced an internal fuel pump relay in the tipm that cured the problem. Suspect kia has the same problem. I own a 2018 kia sportage fe fwd w/ approx. 6500 miles. |
