IN THE MORNING I WAS ON MY WAY TO COLLEGE AND THE SPRINKLERS OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX WHERE ON AS USUAL, WHICH MADE PUDDLES OF WATER ON THE STREET. I WENT THROUGH ONE AND I LOST ALL STEERING POWER.

TAKEN TO ANDY'S SERVICE WHERE HE FOUND ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED. NEW PART WOULD COST $500.00 PLUS LABOR. CALLED SOUTH HILLS KIA SERVICE AND DROPPED CAR OFF ON 4/26/18 TO ESTABLISH COST OF REPAIR/NEW VEHICLE. SERVICE MANAGER MATT GAVE ME # FOR KIA CONSUMER 800-333-4542. ERIC TOOK INFO AND CASE #12707877 AND ESCALATED TO REGIONAL OFFICE. ON 5/1/18 RECEIVED CALL FROM BRUCE 520-770-4888 AND SAID ACCORDING TO DISTRICT MANAGER, CAR SURPASSED 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. S.H.

THE NOISE ON THIS CURRENT PROBLEM WAS NOTICED MORE WHEN DRIVING, TURNING, ON REGULAR STREET THAN WHILE IDLING. IN MY ESTIMATION THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE FOR FEAR PARTS MAY COME LOOSE WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT NOT ONLY TO MYSELF BUT TO OTHER DRIVERS THAT MAY BE BEHIND ME.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND I IMMEDIATELY LOST SPEED CONTROL. MY SPEED BEGAN A QUICK DECENT TO 25 MPH. THE CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP AT ALL. I MADE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I CALLED MY HUSBAND, HE ASKED A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS AND HAD ME RESTART THE CAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, BUT THE CAR ACCELERATED NORMALLY SO I HEADED TOWARD HOME. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I PULLED OVER, WAITED AND RESTARTED THE CAR. MY HUSBAND HAD ME GO TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE TO HAVE THE CODE READ. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE PRINTOUTS THAT INCLUDE THE CODES AND DEFINITIONS. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND SEE ACROSS CAR REPAIR FORUMS THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH KIA VEHICLES. IT'S TIME FOR NHTSA TO FORCE A RECALL. CORPORATIONS WOULD RATHER PAY A WRONGFUL DEATH/INJURY FINE THAN VOLUNTARILY MAKE WIDESPREAD REPAIRS TO MECHANISMS THEY KNOW ARE FAULTY. PROTECT OUR INTERESTS; THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS, OUR LOVED ONES, THE ROADS AND OUR LIVELIHOODS- IF I CAN'T GET TO WORK RELIABLY, I WON'T HAVE A JOB. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS WHEN THE PRODUCT IS FAULTY ACROSS THE BOARD. FORCE A RECALL.

SOMETIMES, WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING FOR THE DAY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER I'M DRIVING 10 MPH OR 35 MPH, THE CAR WILL JOLT BACKWARDS AND LOSE ALL POWER, AS THOUGH BEING TURNED OFF, CAUGHT FROM THE REAR, AND THEN LET GO. IT RESUMES FORWARD BUT WITH MUCH LESS POWER. MORE OFTEN, THE CAR WILL SIMPLY NOT START. THERE IS NO CLICKING, NO NOISE, NO SPUTTERING, NOTHING. THE LAST TIME I NOTICED THAT ALL ELECTRONICS... CLOCK, ODOMETER, ETC... GOES OUT, LIKE THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL POWER TO BE HAD. IT WILL START EVENTUALLY, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO LOGIC TO TIMING. I'VE HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AT ONE NATIONALLY KNOWN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND AT A KIA DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. NEITHER PLACE GAVE ME ANY REASON FOR THE INCIDENTS I HAVE DESCRIBED. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT BOTH ISSUES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE KIA MAKE, AND THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A CONSENSUS ON WHAT THE PROBLEM REALLY IS. BOTH ISSUES HAVE BEEN HAPPENING REPEATEDLY FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS.

AFTER PUTTING GAS IN MY TANK ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE.
