Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2005 Kia Motor Amanti

I purchased my kia from jd byrider in 2016 of July and I have had a real deal with this car. In the pass 4 years with this car I have poured more than $5,000 into this car into it. Every time you get this car fixed it has a new problem about 1 month later or the check engine light comes on. But recently my wife was driving her mother and my daughter around shopping about 10 miles in distance from the house the mall and driving store to store. It was 93 degrees outside and she had the a/c running and suddenly the car started to have sudden acceleration she tried to stop the car and it did not stop the engine keep revving up harder harder and harder. At this point she was able to turn back into the parking lot after getting off the main rode. This car is a danger to people driving it and others near this car should not be on the street I repeat this car should not be on the street. I am glad my family is safe but I will trading this car in soon and I hope the rip it up and tear it to pieces for parts because it could have ended my families life. For me and my other love ones to very see them again. Get this car off the rode please. This is the third time this has occurred I could't do anything because jd byrider sold me overpriced junk $12,000 worth of it and add the repairs on top. I refuse to keep driving this car or have my love ones drive that car.

Sudden acceleration. I was slowing for a traffic light I expected to turn red. I had my foot on the floor boards, away from the accelerator, letting the care slow by itself. The light did turn red and I had to apply the brakes. I keep my left foot to the left of the brakes on the floor board. As I applied the brakes with my right foot I felt my left foot so I knew I applied the brakes. Car accelerated. Only putting the transmission I neutral and flooring the brake pedal with both feet prevented a wreck. No warning lights came on. In October of 2011 the dealer replaced ignition coil; packs spark plugs and spark plug wires. However on 5/7/12 the problem returned- worse than ever before the car finally stopped tachometer reading was 4700 rpm. Doctors often ask patients to rate pain open a scale of 1-10. This incident would rate an 8. Please issue a recall before more people experience this and could kill people. Or a buyback for what the buyer paid including all loan fees and interest. . I also request a federal directive requiring all cars to have brake overrides and for a free retrofit of all car models with a history of this problem. I have only 68,000 miles on the car and 66,800 when I bought the car.

Incident 1: while driving at 60mph on an interstate the cars speed reduced to <10 mph then stalled followed a sudden acceleration. The car was towed to an authorized dealer who could not duplicate the problem but suggested that it was the computer. Computer replaced problem persist. . . . Incident 2:(1 month later)upon initial acceleration, the engine stalled and operated at a reduced speed followed by sudden acceleration without warning into traffic. The vehicle was inspected by a dealer who was unable to duplicate the problem but suggested that it might be the throttle motor. Throttle motor replaced but the problem persisted. The manufacturer was alerted on both occasions. Now I am deadly afraid of driving this vehicle.

The contact owns a 2005 kia Amanti. The contact stated the vehicle accelerated unexpectedly when it was placed in drive. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer, and the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 125,000 .

We have had our 2005 Amanti into the dealership several times with complaints of "sudden acceleration" or jack rabbit type of starts. This problem has caused several near misses, but no wrecks so far. Each time we are told by the dealer that they can not duplicate the problem and no repair is made. The last time we took it in, we contacted the factory to get them to help. They kept the car for 4 days and still have not replicated the problem. This problem only occurs once or twice a month, so it is not surprising that the mechanic could not replicate it. The dealer tells me that kia will not let them do any repairs unless they can duplicate the problem. I verified this talking to kia factory customer service representative. Their plan is to do no repair unless the problem becomes constant. Needless to say, I feel this leaves my driving family in a potentially dangerous position.

I have an '05 kia Amanti. This car has a "sudden acceleration" causing the car to speed forward when applying the brakes. I have been in two rear-end collisions in the last year and have not been in an accident in over 30yrs prior. I have had the car taken to sentry kia to be repaired but, they just say, they cannot duplicate the problem - so there is no problem. I know differently. I am afraid to drive this car. There have been many complaints on the kia forum and other sites about this problem with the '05 kia Amanti - yet kia will not do anything for me. They force me to drive this weapon on wheels. I am beside myself as to what to do - I am afraid of hitting a pedestrian or even a child through the fault of the vehicle and not my driving!!.
