2005 Kia Amanti Complaints

JUST 2DAYS AGO MY CAR STARTED JERKING REAL BAD AND ALSO MY TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS STALLING AND THE CAR WAS LOOSING ACCELERATION POWER.THEN AFTER A SHORT HESITATION THE VEHICLE,WHILE BACKING IN THE DRIVEWAY ACCELERATED AND WAS HARD TO STOP.TODAY I NOTICED A SMALL TREMBLE IN THE TRANSMISSION AND MY CAR ALMOST WENT IN TRAFFIC IF I HAD'NT PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND APPLIED FORCE TO THE BRAKES,MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON BOTH INCIDENTS,I'M NOT AFRAID OF MY VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T WANT TO CAUSE OR BE IN AN ACCIDENT.

AIR BAG LIGHT HAS TO BE CONTINUALLY RESET, PARTS HAD TO BE REPLACED SOME SPRING. LIGHT NOW IS BACK ON HAD IT IN AGAIN AND NOW SAYING AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

MY AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON 4/19/2016 AND HAVE BEEN ON SINCE THEN. I ONLY HAD MY CAR ONE MONTH I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT NOR HAVE MY CAR EVERY BEEN IN AN IMPACT I HAD IT LOOK AT BY A MERCHANIC AND HE SAID THAT'S DANGEROUS AND CAN POP OUT AT ANY TIME SO I SHOULD HAVE IT FIX AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THIS CAR SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 KIA AMANTI. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT REMAINED FOR THIRTY DAYS FOR INVESTIGATION. THE ECM WAS REPLACED. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE REPAIR, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS FAULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,814.

SINCE PURCHASING MY 2005 KIA AMANTI AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON; THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED AN IMPACT WHICH WOULD CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY NEITHER HAVE ANY OF THE AIRBAG COMPONENTS EVER BEEN TAMPERED WITH. THE THROTTLE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY SPORADIC AND OFTEN CAUSES HESITATION, LURCHING, NO ACCELERATION, AND EVEN LOSS OF ALL POWER. I HAVE HAD THE DEALERSHIP UPDATE THE ECM AND THE TPS REPLACE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I NOTICED THE THROTTLE BODY PLATE WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ACTUATE SO I THEN PURCHASED ANOTHER THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED MY OLDER ONE. EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED AS SHOULD BE EXPECTED UP UNTIL APPROX. 3 MONTHS AGO THE ISSUES STARTED BACK UP AGAIN. I NOTICED THE THROTTLE BODY MOTOR HAD STARTED TO BECOME INCREASINGLY HOT TO THE TOUCH INDICATING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RESISTANCE WITHIN THE MOTOR CIRCUIT. BEING THAT THE PROBLEM IS RECURRING, I FEEL THE ISSUE IS LOCATED EITHER WITHIN THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS OR THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND IT...
