“On my cruise control when I set to certain speed, it will speed up, I had it set to 65 MPH and it sped up by itself to 85 before I could get it to go off. I had to slam on the break to get it to go off. This has happened several times. Now the car will not start all the lights will come on, but car will not do anything. Checked fuses all good, ground wire was taken loose and paint grinder off and put back on, still won't start. It started not starting every now and then and now it won't start at all. I read where this is happening to several Kia specifically 2006 .”

“My vehicle shakes badly...Kia, where I purchase my 2006 told me, it is the sub frame which causes my van to shake. The salt in pennsylvania causes the frame of this van to rust away. I well not be able to drive it! There is no recall...this will cost me $2,000.00. I believe if you live... Where it snows. The vehicles should be made for states which have snow.....and use salt on the roads. Why should I have to paid for this. The sub frame needs to be recall by Kia manufacturer.the mileage on my van is 63,553. Also, Kia stated that it will not pass inspection. …”

“I was leaving my house and had just driven a short distance when the check engine light and the ESC off came on as the car slowed to almost a stop. I pressed on the accelerator and nothing happened. I got out of the car and raised the hood and the engine was idling roughly. I turned the car off and on several times but nothing chaged; it wouldn't accelerate and the warning lights stayed on. The ESC off light eventually went out and the check engine light stayed on but I was able to drive it again. I took it to a mechanic who lubricated a throttle cable after checking the codes. …”

“First noticeable incident while driving this vehicle in june 2009, while I was driving this vehicle, I pulled out of the driveway, the vehicle all of a sudden stalled, engine light came on and I pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor, nothing. I pulled over put the vehicle in park, killed the engine, restarted the engine, same thing. I had to coast back to my residence. I waited a few hours, went straight out to the vehicle, it started right up and I drove away. The next incident was approx. Months later, same scenario. …”

Two of these incidents have been while merging onto interstate 95, once on us route 1 and another merging on to route 234. On at least one occasion my one year old daughter was in the vehicle.
