My vehicle started stalling when accelerating two days ago. My rpm's jump when shifting gears and it stalls and jerks when taking off from a complete stop. I took it to advanced auto parts and the code "p1326" showed on their code reader. Knock scensor is under the code and I've read where multiple people with this make and model of car have had the same issue and had their whole motor replaced.
My car stalled while waiting at a stoplight. When going to accelerate I was unable to. However, I looked at the current recalls for my car. The year, model, manufcature date meet the criteria for the axel recall. But my VIN # doesn't show any existing recalls.

When starting from a dead stop, the car hesitates up to 6 or 7 seconds. I think it has stalled, then it starts again by its self. This is extremely dangerous when pulling out into an intersection. It does this constantly.
I have been experiencing issues with my 2016 kia Optima since I purchased it on September, 5th 2016. A short time after owning my new vehicle, first the car started to hesitate when starting as if it was struggling to start, the push button would turn red and the indicator lights would light up on the dashboard as if the key was not recognized in the car. The car would also self accelerate. On or around August 16th or 17th the car stalled out while it was being driven,we attempted to restart the car and it turned on like normal so the tow was canceled. , the service writer & kia all have copies of the videos the mechanic has also told me he was able to duplicate the issue, the solution was to change the fuel pump and service the fuel delivery system. Upon the services being completed we were contacted by the service manager, and kia that the car was ready to be picked up on September 6th 2017. While driving the vehicle home we noticed some hesitation while idle, also some strong acceleration when taking off from red-light or stop sign. While parked we noticed some strong vibration from the motor which the car had not had previously before service. Also after several attempts of starting the car, the car would either start rough, and also still had the same original occurrence as before with the key not being recognized in the car. With the car not fully starting and the push button turning red with the instrument panel lighting up with the key not in car light along with some others. On Thursday September 7th, 2017 at about 4:30pm I had the cruise control set to 80 mph, the car hesitated a couple times, then self decelerated to 73 mph, reaccelerated to 82 mph then self adjusted to 80 mph, I contacted the dealership right after the occurrence I was told I had to wait to bring the car back in they had no loaner vehicles, not to use the cruise control feature.
From a dead stop driving around, releasing the brake petal from a stop and getting ready to get going, the car shutters a bit and/or both the engine feels like it's gonna stall. Hesitation to get going. . Does it in all 3 drive modes. Dealers says npf. . Of course and said maybe quality of gas, I use top tier gas only.
