Front driver seat feels like it rotates/slides upper rt corner about 3 inches from the side. Then lower lt side about the same 3 inches from side. 3 months fighting Kia for what I think is a safety repair. Still has not been resolved. I test drove another hybrid 5K less miles, that did not have the issue. The second issue is there is a dead zone that is random to reproduce for the dealer is tough. It occurs when stopped, highway speed, etc. Where you press the petal and nothing happens for about 4 seconds. Then you have full power by then it is too late. If you do not know this can occur it place you in a tough driving spot.
