problem #1

Sportage LX V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 81,000 miles

Hot or cold...in gear or in park.....the car engine races and due to the high idle the car wants to lunge forward when it is in gear. This problem is very dangerous without heavy brake pressure or putting the car in Neutral or Park the car would speed forward. The problem occurs intermittently. Brought the car into Kia Dealership and the work did not fix the problem...as it re-occurred 3-days later. This is a serious problem that could lead to injuries as it makes driving the car scary.
