general problems of the 2009 Kia Motor Spectra

My car seems like someone entered something in my gas tank while I may been in the store.

I purchased the vehicle in 2011. Since then once in awhile when I stop my car at a light or a stop sign, the car moves forward even after I step on the brake. I then have to quickly put the brake on and turn the car off or else I'm a hit someone was in front of me. I have taken it to the dealer and I'm told that I have to bring it there when it's happening. This is happened a few times since 2011. It always happened when I would step on the brake at a stop light or a stop sign when my car should be motionless however it would keep going even though I stepped on the brake. I have not kept track of when this has happened. Below I had to put a date that it happened. I do not know the dates that this is happened since I purchased the car it is probably happened at least 10 times since I purchased the car in 2011. I did not keep track of the dates.

This has happened on more than one occasion. While traveling on the interstate at 70 mph the vehicle begin increasing in speed. Brakes were tapped, no decrease in speed, brakes were applied, no decrease in speed, pushed to DE-activate cruise, no result; I had to push the gear shift in neutral, motor was racing, turn off key, turn back on momentarily all while driving in traffic. The cruise then quit working for several weeks, began working again; traveling 60 mph and was unable to make a turn because cruise would not disengage. Very dangerous!!! at this point I do not use the cruise nor will use it until I can have it seen.

Tl - the contact owns a 2009 kia Spectra. The contact stated that the tail lights failed to power off when to the contact parked and exited the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the stop lamp switch needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000 and the current mileage was 63,000. The VIN number was not available. Dr.

2009 kia Spectra. While driving 20 mph, on snow covered street, applied brake pedal, pedal was firm and car slowing, then the pedal went soft and dropped approximately 1-2 inches and then firmed up again. This caused the abs to be applied, car would not stop. I was almost involved in a accident as other lane of traffic did not have stop sign. This is approximately the 20th time that when stopping the brake pedal has gone from firm to soft, while soft brake pedal depresses 1-2 inches, and then firms. This causes a delay in the car slowing and sometimes the abs is activated. I took car to dealership on 3/5/2010, dealer drove car 5 miles and could not recreate the problem.
