Back up cameras fail infotainment system reboots and maps on the system inadvertently counts stops plus changes volume at loudspeaker telling me “this is the level “ and is on highest volume.

3 Rearview System Braking problem

Failure Date: 03/12/2021

I find I have to put my foot down on the gas pedal to the floor to make it literally go at times. Ive heard this cloaking noise several times like its getting ready to conk out. The brakes seems to me don't stop as they should at times I have to go in hard on the brake pedal. The air conditioner does not blow cold an see where previous owner had same issue 2 yrs straight from looking the the service invoices that was left in the truck. The sensor detection does not always work to let me know car/person is around. Coleman taylor transmission informed me that this thing does have a issue, the rpm are not as they should be. When I took it back to kia gossett about the brakes the used mgr drove it made it seems there were no issues as well as norcross Mazda. Previous owner invoice show brakes were a concern as well. Had I known there was a prior recall on the pcm I would never bought this junk!.
