The problem that i'm i'm having is a code p0456 (evaporative emission system leak detected, which is a small leak. the reason why i'm worried is because the gauge for the rpms goes all the way across as far as it can go, in other words it's like as if i'm pushing down on the gas pedal as far as it can go , it does this when i'm driving on the highway, when i'm about to leave a signal light from a complete stop , when i'm driving up a hill is when it's worst.
As i was driving on the highway, the ac stopped working. there were no warning lights, alarms or indicators that something was wrong, but i immediately got off the highway because i thought this is not right. as i braked on the ramp, the car still worked, but when i tried to accelerate leaving the ramp, there was no power. i got into an adjacent parking lot and turned off the car. when i tried to turn it back on, it was completely dead. i called aaa, they gave it a jump, but even though the battery was full, when put into drive or reverse it would do nothing.
First the air conditioner stopped working for 2 days. then on the 3rd day, 8/13/19, the hev light and oil lights went on. the engine slowed down. the car was towed to the kia dealership in ontario, ca. initially they said it may not be covered by warranty. then on 8/17 they told me the air conditioner needs a new compressor. then on 8/23 i was told that oil and metal shards had leaked into the engine and the entire engine needs to be replaced. it is unknown when the repair will be done.
