Two incidences of deceleration..one caused me to exit freeway onto the frontage road.. one inspection at dealership after 2nd incident stated "nothing found"...had i been surrounded by vehicles front and rear, i and others could have been involved in a serious accident...i was able to get off the frontage road onto a shoulder. the 2nd incident was near my residence and fortunately there was no one on the street at time....while the dealer technicians may not have these events occur at the time of service, these incidences i believe are spontaneous and therefore dangerous to the driver and passengers of my and other vehicles. these incidences keep me in fear of driving this vehicle. i have asked the local dealer for a trade to another brand but only response sometime april 2019... we will work on it. i started by emailing salesmen and managers of dealership and finally called which finally produced a response to attempt to find a different brand vehicle...this is a new loan of march 2018.,this vehicle supposedly was built in sept. 2017.....fire hazard is mentioned with one death of woman in texas due to one of these two causes.my vehicle is not safe and i do not want another kia soul.
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 kia soul. while driving approximately 25 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate. the contact stopped the vehicle to make sure that it was in gear. while the contact attempted to park in front of her house, with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle spontaneously accelerated and crashed into the front of the house. the front driver's air bag deployed. the driver sustained a broken nose that required medical attention. a police report was not filed. the vehicle was towed by the insurance company to a lot. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
