general problems of the 2004 Kia Motor Amanti

The 2004 kia Amanti will accelerate on it's own. I have been in local traffic and it accelerates and DE-accelerate like a run away horse. It will then drive normal. The check engine light comes on sometimes and goes back out. This last time the light came on, I took to an electrical auto repair place. The computer read out said it needed a throttle body. I replaced it as suggested. The 2004 kia Amanti attempts to accelerate on it's own and stops and drives normal again. The check engine light is on again. I would like to get what is perfect and right for the kia to perform better and be safe. How do I do that?.

After getting home last night from my sister in law's gender reveal, I saw smoke coming from under the bonnet so I opened it quickly and saw a fire blazing behind the engine. . . . When the fire department got there, they pointed out to me that the fire was electrical. . . . . I need some form of compensation from the company as I am no longer able to drive the car and electrical issues are widely affiliated with this particular model of kia cars.

Stared driving on the highway when the car was trying to go out got off the highway pull to the side and then it stop running tryed to start it up it wouldn't do nothing battery brand new llights came it that was it once I was towed by the guy said off the top it is eclectically he even tryed to give it a jump and it wouldn't jump and that's where iam.

Tl-the contact owns a 2004 kia amante. The contact stated while driving on the highway the vehicle started to cut off. The contact quickly merged off the exit and the vehicle would not restart. The tow truck driver stated that the issue might be electric. The dealer that sold the vehicle to the contact had gone out of business and the manufacturer had not yet been contacted. The failure mileage was 177, 600. Tf.

Kia Amanti losing power while driving or losing power then accelerating out of control and kia seems not to be able to fix the problem.

I was on the highway going out of town and had the cruise control set like I normally do when all of a sudden my car drastically lost speed from 70mph to 45mph on a very busy highway. I had to slowly move over to the far lane in order to make it to a safe place to pull over. I then pulled over shut the car off for about 20 mins and tried to come back home and once again got on the highway when once again I lost power even tho I'm pressing the gas all the way down to the floor and its not even trying to gain power at all. I almost got into 2 accidents on the way home because of the loss of power. I have seen a lot of complaints on this website about the same recurring problems with other kia Amanti owners and this problem needs to be fixed. This is my only vehicle and I'm scared to drive it. Please can someone give me some answers!!!.

While, backing out of garage the car accelerated on its own. Kia road tested the car and could not replicate the problem. A diagnostic test performed by j. B. A. Kia of ellicott city, MD found nothing wrong. This is the second time that the car has had a sudden unintended acceleration incident. The first incident was reported to NHTSA in January 2010, confirmation (odi number) for that report is 10375033. Kia replaced the accelerator pedal position sensor on 1/18/2011.

Sudden unintended acceleration.

After pulling the car forward out of the garage in the morning and while stopped to wait for the garage door to close (brake applied, in gear), the vehicle attempts to burst-lurch forward (not touching gas pedal). This seems to happen year-round. The dealership cannot re-produce the problem, but also hasn't kept the vehicle overnight for a cold-start. Have had a couple of near-collisions at the end of my driveway.

The contact owns a 2004 kia Amanti. While driving 55 mph, the vehicle suddenly stopped and had to be towed to a mechanic. The mechanic stated that there was sludge in the engine and it needed to be replaced. The purchase date and powertrain were unknown. The current and failure mileages were 27,000.
