Problem with idle stop/start system-when i stop at a light, the engine shuts off, when i try to accelerate, i hear a loud groan sound, and the car shutters before eventually moving forward. i immediately took it to the dealership where it was purchased, and was told that the sound they heard was "normal", but if it continued try to get a audio recording of the sounds i was hearing, and they would look in to it. ridiculous! i have seen at least 2 more complaints for this same issue. right now i turn the function off as soon as i get in the vehicle, what good is it if you can't use it?
The idle stop - start system seems to be broken. whenever i pull up to a light and stop the engine shuts off. then, when i try to accelerate the engine starts but the calibers lock up on the disc creating a loud groaning sound. it causes the car to shutter and barely go forward. additionally, the car consistently pulls to the right. it causes the vehicle to begin to veer off the road. on two occasions the dealer, kia of irvine, told me they did not have the equipment fo fix this problem.
