2023 Kia Sportage

I was driving a highway distance of 374 Miles mostly two lanes hwy. While driving I had my collision warning, distance between car indicator and adaptive cruise control in use. It did not happen all the time however when it did it was a violent stop. While driving 75 mph. The car recognized there was another vehicle in the other lane. It would give the warning sign and even if I tap the break it would slam on brake so hard that my passenger burn herself with coffee and the rest of us went towards the wind shield. Thank goodness for seat belts. There were 3 people in the car including myself.This happen 1 with AdA cruise control. I disengaged that feature but left the other features on. It happen two more times while returning home with just collision warning and . I am driving about 75 mph. Car doesn't recognized all the cars passing, then all of a sudden the collision warning comes is activated with a fast beep. As if it just saw the car and before I am able to tap the break it slams on break. I have taken it to the dealership and they could not duplicate it. Instead they turn off the feature. I told them it was on the highway , over 75mph, with other traffic. They indicated it was me and not the machine. If it was someone following me while this happened. At the rate of speed I was going and abruptly stopping. I would have died. Or been seriously injured. My car is not fixed. I DO NOT feel safe.

The contact stated that the steering wheel was shaking and there was an abnormal rattling sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the struts and spring were incorrectly installed. The dealer was unable to determine the causes of the other failures. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and provided the contact case number. The failure mileage was approximately 13.

The vehicle has lost acceleration twice and one of those times, it was a hazard to other drivers and put my safety at risk because it loss power in the passing lane on a major highway. The car shut off and I had to restart it about 8 times to get it over to the side of the road. Each time there was white and black smoke, the car would shake and just shut off. The car has been in the shop once before and they think it was a cylinder misfire and they said they fixed it. This is the second time it is in there. The car is still under warranty. Other times it has been for several recalls. There were no times that the car would do this, no symptoms or messages. This is a safety hazard for other drivers and puts the drivers life in danger. This is not what a new car experience should be.

My vehicle intermittently starts with the blind spot warning, lane departure warning, rear cross traffic warning (and rearview camera), defoggers, and AC/heat not functioning. When this happens, the temperature control knobs are hardly visible and the car will flash “Battery Discharge Warning” on the display screen for several seconds. An error code also appears in the Kia App when this issue happens. The error code immediately goes to history error codes so the dealership service center has not yet spent time to investigate the issue. The car has been to the dealership twice and the service advisor has witnessed the issue.
