I picked up a brand new kia sportage sx turbo awd with 34 miles on it today. it was driving kind of hesitantly, seeming like it was misfiring. about 30 miles later, the check engine light turned on. i immediately called kia customer service as i have an established relationship with them. they advised to take it to the nearest dealership. i took my car to summit place kia in auburn hills where the initial diagnosis based on a check engine light reading was an improper fuel/air mixture in cylinder 2. i am not sure what protocol will be followed from this point or what actions will be needed to rectify this issue. however, it is apparent that there is an issue with kia's gdi turbo engines.
In motion ; vehicle does not accelerate properly, no pickup my life in danger several times. kia has sent letter in which i followed instructions. dealership updated system. now my diagnostic system is not working putting me at even greater risk no warning light indicate engine trouble. according to kia , the recall i received in the mail was specifically done so i would have warning light take asap to dealership.., cleaning out all my bank accounts- kia finance never sent right title in my legal name after i faxed front and back end ,with docs they requested. called weekly & because of there mistake he has stolen 1000s of dollars from my accounts . he is not a citizen so he doesn't care about our laws. he con cpa to forge taxes now ihavetohelp irs straighten it out. the cpa 'died i was told' i having medical issues from stress anxiety. i never wanted new kia ...but he sold it behind my back. then bought most expensive car leaving me with -17;000 equity. on a car he ragged to hell and wrecked. then canceled all extras including disabilty leaving me with no other choice but to trust owner. at the time ; my credit was 780; never missed a payment but had no work history due to tax fraud. the car has never ran correct i knew from day 1 it was pulling i realized kia had put a 4 cylinder in a suv that should be a 6 . now the recalls ironically timed when you came out with same car but a 6 cylinder changed the name. i paid 8;000 total traded 2 cars. kia finance stated i never missed a payment until now. due to continued abuse from my ex spouse. transunion has frozen my credit reports, labeled me a true victim of stolen identity.and financial fraud. kia to buy my car back so i can buy the car i want . transunion, police, lifelock, wells fargo, criminal investigation , emergency hearing for protective order and state farm's have protected me.
