I had issues putting in park and then getting out of park. Disconnected battery cable to turn off vehicle. Battery seemed dead but had battery checked out it's fully good. Now my abs,battery,brake,esc lights all came on and vehicle has no power. Seems like it could be brake-tramission shift interlock problems?.
The vehicle will lose power. The engine will continue running, but only at idol speed. This event can happen at any time. My wife was driving our kia at the time this event happened. The check engine light and the esc off light came on and the van had no power. After shutting the van off and restarting she was able to drive home with only the check engine light on. I pulled the neg. Battery cable and reset the ecm. I drove the van for 200 miles without incident. The next morning the van started normally, but within a minute both lights were on and the engine would not respond to any throttle input. The codes pulled from the computer are p1295, p2106, and p2135. After looking on google, this is a chronic problem plaguing kia and Hyundai vehicles. According to what I've read, it can happen at any time, on any model year. Nobody has been able to isolate the cause, except to replace the ecm, and replace the throttle body. It is only a matter of time until this happens to somebody in heavy traffic at highway speed.
