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. *tr

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.......... *tr
