general problems of the 2010 Kia Motor Forte

Randomly the car refused to accelerate, rpms would not go past 3k. It happened it different time points of a drive. There was never any check engine light. Mechanic drove the vehicle and ran a check on it and said with out a warning light there isn’t much I can do. Suggested replace crank shaft sensor. There was no change to the point the entire car died while driving up hill with no shoulder and a very large truck behind. My children would be dead right now if there had been another vehicle in the lane next to me I was able to barely to get the cat into. The car started back up after 30 mins. Was looked at again, informed it could have something to do with the engine tick, still no warning lights. The car stalls, jerks like a misfire and had refused to keep a stable speed while on the interstate.

After braking to stop at red light on a highway on a hill, kia Forte 2010 kept moving uphill at low speed (5mph or less). Brakes did not respond. Car stopped after hitting bumper of another vehicle. Brakes worked normally after that, but car sometimes rocks after being put in park.

Update to claim 11277949 kia dealer claims shifter bushing and the transmission switch. Strange that such a dangerous was treated with more concern. 5 more seconds of that malfunction and I would have wounded or killed a innocent pedestrian.

Ive been experiencing what other people on kia forums has labeled as hard shifting since November of 2017. When I start driving the car jerks really hard in between 1-2 rpm or when it's shifting. It's not the transmission fluid and it may be the heat temp sensor but I don't know.

I am writing this letter to provide you notice of unresolved defects in my 2010 kia Forte ex, kia case no. K3395476. Please see attached file titled, "harvey nhsta summary of events" for complete nature of the complaint as I ran out of characters.
