| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I never know when my car will start jerking. the car will run fine then out of the blue when i am backing up the car will start jerking. i put it in drive and press all the way on the gas -but there is no power. i press again and the car will start jerking . i have brought it back to the dealer three times,even left it there for 3 days but they are unable to duplicate the problem. this problem has happened more than two dozen times. there is no warning when it will happen. i almost hit a car twice when i was backing up- you are powerless and you can not control the jerking. i pulled out in traffic and the car behind almost hit me because the car would not go. i sure heard his horn blasting at me. there is also a blue flash of light on the dashboard when driving at night. it is a quick flash-then it is gone. i have also brought the car to the dealer about this problem - they can't duplicate it. something is drastically wrong. i wrote to kia- but did not receive an answer. *jb |
