Kia Sorento Vehicle Speed Control Safety Report | May 31, 2013
Reported on May 31, 2013
| I WAS DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70 AND SUDDENLY THE CAR ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN (SOUNDED AS IF SOMEONE HAD FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL). I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE DASH MULTIPLE INDICATOR LIGHTS WERE LIT. AFTER TAPPING THE BRAKE THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN BUT THE ACCELERATOR WOULD NOT WORK. I CAME TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER- AT THIS POINT THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. TRIED TO RESTART AFTER FEW MINUTES AND IT WOULD NOT START. A FEW MINUTES LATER IT DID START BUT SOUNDED BAD. I CONTACTED KIA AND WAS TOLD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND A REGIONAL KIA REP WOULD INVESTIGATE MY VEHICLE (WHAT THAT MEANS, I DON'T KNOW QUITE YET). *TR | |
