Multiple times I will be driving along, and at either a slow speed or stopped at a light, the car will just shut off. This is not safe! also 2 times the exterior lights have not come on in the dark even if you turn them on yourself nothing comes on and its been dark driving when that's happened! I'm worried for the safety of myself and children in this car, and the dealership and service dept do not find anything wrong with the car. But in looking online a lot of people have this complaint as well! if this happened to me at a high speed or driving on the interstate that could cause an accident and injur people! please help!.
When the ignition is started with the car in park, the vehicle vibrates really hard as if it wants to cut off. This has occurred with 3/4 tank of gas and 1/4 tank of gas. With the vehicle vibrating, the car is placed in "d" drive and the foot is applied to the accelerator for acceleration but the vehicle does not move. The vehicle is then placed back into "p" park and the vehicle continues to vibrate until it shuts off. This issue has been report to dean mccrary kia in mobile, al on several occasions and I was told if the vehicle does not have a code when it is brought into service there is nothing they can do. I did explain that when the issue occurs it only last for a few minutes then the vehicle runs ok until the issue occurs again.
