Rough idling. Rough gear shift from 1st to 2nd and srutter on 3rd. Loss of power during take offs. Car is only 20,800 miles. Checked twice on dealer. Only wiped code and reset computer. Claim not to be able to replicate. Issue comes back with check engine light 30 mins after driving away.
My check engine light came on. Took it to the shop and was told there was something in the engine that needed a reset or update. They fixed it with no charge and told me to come back if it came on again. The check engine light came back on the next day. I took it back and was told one of my cylinders was misfiring so they fixed it and I was charged. 3-4 months later my check engine light came back on. I took it in and was told that it was an old code stored in the car. They cleared the code and told me if the light comes on again to bring it back. The check engine light came on less than 48 hours later. This is Friday August 21, 2020, I have an appointment on August 29th to check my car. When my check engine light comes on my car hesitates when I step on the gas. The check comes on and goes off. When the light is off I don't experience the hesitation in the acceleration. It may come on and stay on for a few days and then the check engine light will go off and remain off for 1 to 2 days. This will be my 4th time taking my car in for the same issue.
While driving my check engine light came on and the car began increased vibration. The light would go off when coasting and turn back on when accelerating. By the time I got home the vibrations continued even when in park as well as not acceleraing. Engine code p0303 was read from the engine light. I have now replaced the second coil pack on a cylinder in the past 5 months.
My car engine starts to shake vigorously for no reason and it happens at random. The check engine light comes on sometimes when this happens. This happens when the car is idle and driving on streets and/or highways. When this happens I have to turn the car off for about 5 minutes to see if it stopped to head back home or it doesn't stop and I have to get home as soon as possible before something happens. I took it to the dealership to get it checked out and I was advised that my coil pack was bad. I asked what can I do to prevent this and the representative told me �this is just something that happens with cars�. I've gotten my car fixed at a kia dealership twice and the problem came back less than a week later each time. It's happening again and I have to go get it repaired again. This began about a year into having the car. Each time I get this repair it's about $600. I always get all maintenance on my car, it is in excellent condition, I am the first and only owner of the car and the explanation from the dealership of �this is something that just happens� is unacceptable when I take care of my vehicle. Thank you. I tried to take a video but it doesn't show the shaking well, I can definitely feel it though.
