I was waiting at a red light, when the engine started to speed up and the car started to pull forward even with me stepping harder on the brake. I put the car in neutral and the revving slowed down. This happened a few more times, including while trying to park at a mall. Luckily I was able to avoid and accident by shifting to neutral every time the car surged. This is a rental car, not my car.
Defective locking system on driver side door. Had it replaced/repaired in Nov of 2014 and again Nov of 2015 and the problem has occurred again October of this year and the service department wanted me to pay again to fix the same problem. I said no. Already paid for this repair and it has been a problem with 15 models of kia vehicles from 2001-2004 and more.
