Check engine light came on and lost engine power while entering traffic on the freeway, almost got rearended buy a vehicle from behind, very scarry! car is at the kia dealer getting diagnosed.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 kia Optima. The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the vehicle started to lose motive power. The contact pulled over and the drove the vehicle back to her residence. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 18v907000 (fuel system, gasoline, engine) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the VIN was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.

Out of no where , my cars check engine light came on and lost compression. Wouldn't go over 40mph and I was on a busy highway so I pulled over got it towed home , did a diagnostic test and got a p1326 code which came back as a knock sensor problem.

E - c v v t seal seating issue. My 2016 kia Optima is giving an obd ii error code of p0010 "a" camshaft position actuator circuit. This causes reduction in power during acceleration, and elevates engine idle speeds to 1200-1400 rpm. This elevation in engine speed causes the car to try to move forward even when the brakes are pressed in stop and go traffic. In stop and go traffic, this could easily lead to vehicle crashing. This, I believe, should be a part of recall instead of a technical service bulletin from the manufacturer. Hyundai and kia use same engine, and has a TSB number 15-01-022-1, and kia has a TSB to change the motor plug and ecvvt cover for it. They are aware of this issue in their car, and it should be a recall. When the car was in motion for me the first time the check engine light came on, I almost hit a car in front of me as the engine does not go back down to idle speeds. This is dangerous.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 kia Optima. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked at parking lot, when she noticed that the oil level warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to jeffrey kia located at 30800 gratiot Ave, roseville, mi 48066, (586) 460-7061 and the contact was informed that the engine needed the oil to be topped off. The contact stated oil was added to the engine. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a traffic light, the vehicle stalled without warning however, soon after the vehicle stalled, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle remained at her mother's residence. The dealer was contacted and arrangements were made to have the vehicle towed which was still pending. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.

Check engine light is blinking, there is a noticeable decrease in power, and it jerks out of first gear. Took it to autozone for a free diagnostic which was p1326. All fluid are in order. Milage is 123,000. This happened when I was driving he fr work.

I had the recall completed in Dec 26, 2018 March 2nd 2019 the car went into limp mode and I followed the instruction per Kia Motor group to have it towed to the nearest kia dealer I was told it was a wiring harness �knock April 19, 2019 I picked up my car only to get it a few miles and then returned it due to the check engine light started blinking again and it went into limp mode I was told they had ordered the wrong wiring harness and would order the correct one. May 3, 2019 picked up my car and it seemed to be ok until may 14th check engine light came on and went into limp mode so returned to bob moore kia Aug 1, 2019 picked up my car and this time they said they changed the knock sensor. My car was good until oct 17, 2019 again check engine light came on and it went into limp mode, my care again is a bob moore kia. I have a case with Kia Motor, they have assigned me a person named melissa and she has all but told me to deal with someone to trade or report as a lemon, she asked me what I wanted and when I said to help me get this traded without being upside down since was in shop and will never get what I should for it and she said it is up to me to deal with a dealer. I also called kia repair department 10/25/19 and was told they are putting my car on the back burner and it seems that they are not in any hurry to help me get it fixed, the only thing I can say is I do have a loaner to drive.

When decelerating, the car jerks at exactly 35 mph whether im on the highway or in the city and this happens . I have been to the dealership 3 times for this issue and they have even drove my car themselves and felt the same thing that I was feeling and all they say is that without a check engine light threr is nothing they can do about it and I just have to "live" with it. This is ridiculous and kia needs to address this issue before it causes any accidents or worse death. I spent way too much money on this car for it to be having these issues. Brakes are supposed to be a safety feature not a safety hazard.
