Engine went to idle at a traffic light and would not respond when light changed to green, check engine light came on. I idled to the side of the road, shut off engine and restarted it. It seemed to be ok but check engine light was still on. Check engine light went out the next day. I took it to dealer for repairs ( a week later was the soonest they could get me in) they did an software update and cleaned the etc motor per "technical service bulletin #133 rev. 11/27/2013" I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this fixed the problem.

When I bought this vehicle I did not realize that it would have so many issues. I think it started in March of 2013. I started smelling a bad odor when I start my truck up and realized it was coming from the ac unit. Had it checked out and was informed that it was the cabin filter and I would have to pay to have it fixed. Later went back for another mater and was told at first that it was under warranty, but once I got to the dealership I was told it could not be fixed. Every since I had this truck my drivers seat goes down by it self and I just don't see what the point in taking it to the dealership because they never fix anything. I feel that purchasing a Kia from rick cas Kia was a very big mistake. I will never recommend this dealership to anyone..........
