I was driving to work, hand heard a pop under my hood. my engine and battery indicator lights started flashing and i lost all power. after polling over and turning my car off, i noticed a tone of smoke coming from under the hood. i popped the hood latch and peaked under with out opening the hood after seeing light. i noticed the flames and grabbed my phone to call 911. soon after the car was engulfed inflames and 3 bangs where heard. both tires and i'm guessing the fuel line erupted. the front half of my car was now ablaze starting to reach the interior started to burn before the fire department could put the fire out.
My engine caught on fire as i was driving the car. there was a knock sensor error discovered a couple hours before, but nothing was indicating that there was imminent critical danger.
Driving approximately 40 mph, car hesitates to accelerate. check engine light came on. had car checked, diagnostic says catalytic converter is not operating properly. i had this part replaced less than 4 months ago! now the same problem is occurring again!
I sent in a complaint about my vehicle .i wrote the wrong problem right problem is catalytic converter
When i frist got my car the engine light came on. dean mccrary fixed it. now the light comes back on and off. may car drive slow sometime. i had it checked they said it was cavalier
Vehicle was in motion turning right decelerating as i turned. once i turned, acceleration pedal was disengaged and no acceleration was happening. braking system was completely locked up and could not press the brakes. when i coasted to a stop, there was visible fire coming from underneath the engine compartment. temp gage never registered as high while driving. within a matter of a couple minutes, the whole car was engulfed in flames as i waited for the fire department to arrive. they said there was no visible fluid leaking on the ground and did not know the cause of the fire. car was maintained regularly for oil. had issues with the car overheating and took it to kia and they could not find anything wrong with it and released me. car is totaled now.
While driving the vehicle and accelerating the vehicle stalls out.
The engine light is constantly on but when hooked to the machine, there are no error messages. some days it's on, some days it's not.
The engine periodically will stall for 2-3 seconds, usually when starting a left turn from a stop. this can prove hazardous in a busy intersection. this has been going on since i bought the car 12 october 2015. the dealer stated the "hesitation" was a normal function of the engine computer's "acclimation" to the driver. it hasn't adjusted to me, and i'm afraid to let my wife or daughter drive the car.
