What owners report
THIS KIA AMANTE IS A 2006. I HAVE 132633 MILES ON IT. LAST MONTH, I GOT AN "AIR BAG" LIGHT ON THE DASH. I TOOK IT IN TO THE LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP, THEY CHARGED ME $100 TO TELL ME THE THE AIR BAG IS NO LONGER OPERABLE. THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. IF I GET IN AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK. AS THE CAR STILL LOOKS AND RUNS LIKE NEW, I DO NOT WANT TO GET RID OF IT. SHOULDN'T A VEHICLE MANUFACTURER HAVE PARTS AT LEAST FOR 13 YEARS?
PULLED OUT OF A PARTING LOT ONTO A STREET. TRIED TO ACCELERATE TO INCREASE SPEED BUT NOTHING HAPPENED...THEN JERKS INTO MOTION. DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH ONCOMING CARS
AIR BAGS NOT FUNCTIONAL STATIONARY AND/OR IN MOTION ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC CONTROLS WOULD NOT LOCK/UNLOCK AUTO DOORS WHILE STATIONARY OR MOVING RADIO PUSH BUTTONS NOT FUNCTIONAL LEAVING IT UNUSABLE AT ALL TIMES
3 DIFFERENT TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WITH THE ENGINE ON AND THE A/C WAS ON. THEN I WOULD PUT IT IN DRIVE AND AFTER ABOUT 1-15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE CAR LOST POWER, AND WHEN YOU PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT REV, THE CAR KEPT ON SLOWING TO A FULL STOP. PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, LET ENGINE RUN FOR A FEW MINUTES, THEN THE CAR WOULD DRIVE FORWARD. THE FIRST TIME IT DID THIS, JUNE 10 2016, WE HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND TAKE IT TO NALLEY KIA IN LITHONIA, GA. THEY FIXED IT, OR SO WE THOUGHT. THE 2ND TIME IT HAPPENED, JULY 5, 2016, MY HUSBAND WAS WAITING FOR MY SON, WHILE HE WAS PARKED, HE HAD THE A/C RUNNING. WHEN HE PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT DROVE/MOVED FOR 5-6 MINUTE
WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL AFTER STOPPING FOR A LIGHT, ENGINE IS SLUGGISH AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HAD IT IN THE REPAIR SHOP SEVERAL TIMES, CLEANING THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SWITCH CONTACTS, AND VARIOUS OTHER WIRING CHECKS. THE LAST REPAIR REPLACED THE COMPUTER CONTROL MODULE AT A COST OF MORE THEN $2,000. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED MANY TIMES BY OTHER OWNERS ON THE REPAIRPAL WEB SITE. SO FAR, NO RECALL NOTICE HAS BEEN ISSUED. KIA IS REAPING THE BENEFITS OF ALL THE PROBLEMS WE ALL HAVE BEEN HAVING.
