My blind spot and forward collision warnings kept going off with any vehicles in front me or in my blind spot. I was on the road by myself and they constantly would go off over and over and nothing covering the sensors.
All safety features disabled, srs light turns on, vehicle shuts off when driving, guage cluster is inop doesnât show speed.
All of the ADAS you have listed stop working on my car. I will be driving my car, stop at a red light, drive through, or just driving down the road and it starts throwing sensors. It wonât even show the MPH Iâm driving and some times the steering wheel locks up, as does the car itself. I canât shift gears, move the vehicle, or anything until leaving the vehicle alone for a while and coming back to it. I have proof of multiple repairs, call ins to Kia, and even a request for buy back which was denied on the vehicle.
This vehicle has four drive modes⦠when in eco mode and pulling onto a road with a steep grade the car lacks power to safely drive. This only happens in eco mode. I have tested 4 times and got the same result. The hesitation lasts for about 3 seconds with that gas pedal fully depressed the vehicle moves about 2 mph maybe slight faster but itâs noticeable. Thank you.
