Ignition coils. Ever since I bought my kia in 2015 I have had to replace the ignition coils every 3-6 months. At first, when it was still under factory warranty, the dealership kept telling me they cannot find anything wrong with the car even though it would jump and even shut off on me when idling. It took 3 months of me taking the car back and forth to the kia dealership before the figured out what was going on with my car because the check engine light never came on. It turned out to be the ignition coils. Once they were replaced everything was fine. On top of this, I was so stressed out about my car that it made me physically ill and gave me a rash all over my body (I have medical records to prove it) and once the issue was fixed, all of my physical ailments disappeared. Since then, I have had to change all 4 coils every 3-6 months. This last set only lasted me 2 months before it started with the same issues again. I have researched this issue and found dozen of forums regarding this same issue with my same exact make, year, model. There has to be something that is causing this to happen so often. I know it's a kia but I should be able to drive my car more than a few months before it breaks down. It doesn't matter where I am, what speed I am going or how long I am traveling, this issue still occurs.
