Brake Loud Noise Problems of Kia Motor Forte

The incident happened as I backed out of my garage in March of 2016. I put the car into reverse and began to push the gas to back out. The car engine revved loudly and the car shot out of the garage. I put my foot on the brake and the car continued to accelerate. Thinking I possibly had my foot on the wrong pedal (even though I have never done that before), I looked down at my feet and verified that my foot was indeed on the brake and not the gas pedal. I then put both feet on the brake and the car still did not slow down; it continued to pick up speed. At this point, I had gone down my driveway across the street and was in my neighbors' driveway headed toward their house. Then, I tried putting the car in park and that still did not stop or even slow down the car. It just made a terrible noise. My next step would have been to pull the emergency brake, but I had already hit the outside wall of my neighbors' garage and that is when the car finally stopped and began idling normally. I towed it to the kia dealership, and they said they ran tests on the brakes, throttle, etc. And found no abnormalities. When I asked what information was gathered from the control module, I was told that no history codes were shown. So, according to them there was no record of me braking or the car accelerating. I do not understand how that is possible. I asked twice for copies of the actual tests and data that was downloaded from the control module, but did not receive them. I was told the information was typed word for word in the summary section of the receipt. I am now looking for a new car, since I no longer feel safe driving this one and expressed this to the dealership and their corporate office. How can they allow a car back on the road when they don't have an answer for why it accelerated uncontrollably? I'm baffled by this. Unfortunately, my story is not unique.

Car makes loud noise while driving down fwy sounds like engine is going to drop out from underneath it - shakes and vibrates and acts like it's going to stop any moment. Brakes will not disengage, thereby making the gas pedal unable to engage. Car loses power while driving when brake doesn't disengage because the gas pedal doesn't engage. Brakes smell of burning rubber. Car rides like all 4 tires are flat - car shakes and vibrates as well. This has happened numerous times - more than 10 - took to dealer - they told me there was nothing wrong with the car. It is extremely dangerous to drive - I had the brake system line flushed and bled and the shop told me that what was in the brake line was not brake fluid - written right on the invoice. Kia is not standing behind their cars and screwing people - especially women. Service managers would just smirk and laugh when I took it in with the complaints - like I was an idiot.
