I BOUGHT MY VERY FIRST NEW VEHICLE IN SEPT 2005, AND HAD MY FIRST AUTO ACCIDENT LESS THAN SIX WEEKS LATER. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ON FRIDAY, OCT 28, 2005. I CAME UPON A VEHICLE STOPPED IN MY LANE. I PUT THE BRAKES ON, AND LEFT A SMALL SKID MARK. I HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO STOP MY VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO. ONCE I PRESSED THE BRAKES, I REALIZED I WASN'T SLOWING DOWN AND PRESSED HARDER ON THEM. THERE WAS SOME JERKING AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS HOPPING UP THE ROAD. MY VEHICLE NEVER SLOWED DOWN AT ALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I CRASHED INTO THE REAR END OF THE STOPPED CAR. IT CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO MY FRONT END, AND DAMAGE TO THE BACK OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. ALSO, MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE BODY SHOP WAITING TO BE LOOKED AT, BUT THEY ARE ESTIMATING THE COST AT $8,000 OR MORE IN DAMAGE. I REALLY FEEL ANGRY ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I AM A CAUTIOUS DRIVER, AND I FEEL THIS ACCIDENT WAS NOT MY FAULT. I FEEL THE BRAKES ON MY VAN DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. *NM

ON CERTAIN MINI VANS, FREEZING CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE WATER ON THE THROTTLE CABLE TO FREEZE DURING NORMAL OPERATION. RESISTANCE TO MOVEMENT OF THE THROTTLE CABLE CAN OCCUR WHEN THE DRIVER LIFTS THEIR FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CAN CAUSE THE CABLE TO STICK, THUS PREVENTING THE ENGINE FROM RETURNING TO IDLE AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED OR ACCELERATE. SUCH AN EVENT CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND COULD CAUSE A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL MODIFY A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE AROUND THE THROTTLE CABLE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 15, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT KIA AT 1-800-333-4542.
ON CERTAIN MINI VANS EQUIPPED WITH ALLOY WHEELS, MOISTURE CAN ACCUMULATE AROUND THE REAR HUB CAPS CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE OUTER WHEEL BEARING.
