2017 Kia Forte Vehicle speed control Problems

“I tooken my 2017 Kia Forte in to the dealership countless occasions for the same issue and still with no avail. As I'm driving the car all of a sudden the car starts shaking the engine light goes on then the car either shuts off on its own then got to wait it out for it to start. If I go to turn on the AC the car also shuts off. I've almost gotten hit due to the car un reliability.”

“I was stopped at a stop light with my foot on the brake. My vehicle lunged forward with my foot still on the brake so I pulled the emergency brake up and my vehicle stopped, thankfully I did nothing hit anyone or anything. When the light turned green I drove forward and my engine light turned on; after no more than 30 seconds, the light turned off. All has been fine since, however I looked up this problem and apparently Kia has a serious problem with cars lunging forward and causing major accidents. I honestly am terrified for this to happen to me.”

“I have had my 2017 Kia Forte for 3 months and in the veey beginning it drove fine. Recently the car has become very sluggish and became increasingly hard to accelerate. I noticed it but brushed it off. This past weekend I let someone drive my car and they complained about how hard it was to accelerate. That's when I knew that it wasn't just me. Today, as I was about to make an unprotected left turn the car failed to accelerate like it should from a stopped position and I was caught in the intersection longer than I needed to be. Needless to say it could have ended badly. …”

“This vehicle has had several incidence of being locked at one speed. When applying pressure to the gas the car will speed up until reaching 30-35mph and will no longer accelerate. The gas pedal could be touching the floor and the car will not accelerate past 35mph. The vehicle had been serviced at our local Kia dealer in the early fall of 2019. It was said to be repaired now less than 6 months later the problem has occurred again. This has happened on city streets and highways sometimes almost causing accidents.”

“I got this car in January, it's only October and my speed doesn't accelerate. When I step on the gas pedal there is a huge kick and my RPM goes from under one to 4 or 5 to get to 20mph. I noticed that I could change the drive to D1 and D2 but when driving and going over 30mph my car is in D6. I have yet to find a solution. No warning lights have come on yet but I don't want it to get to that point before having the car for a year.”
