While merging with heavy traffic the check engine light activated and the vehicle went into 'limp home mode' and my speed immediately went from approximately 80 km/hr to 20 km/hr. The vehicle was then towed to the local Kia dealership where a software update was performed. I was warned by the tech at the dealership that they could not diagnose the problem and that it could happen again despite the fact that this was the second software update performed on this vehicle to address this problem.
This engine is currently the subject of a class action lawsuit in Quebec and is being investigated by Transport Canada for what is alleged to be a design/manufacturing defect(s) which can result in a fire or engine failure. Kia Canada has not offered any compensation or solution to mitigate or repair what is apparently a common issue with this engine.
