Kia Rio Acceleration problems by year

Slowed down on highway as there was a backup from an exit, then accelerated again and car would not accelerate correctly. Engine light came on and then turned off as I exited off the highway. I turned the car off once safely parked. Burning smell was noted. Car would not start and was towed to auto shop where it was checked and deemed as an internal engine failure.

The contact owns a 2016 Kia Rio. The contact stated that while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle was slow to respond. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to several independent mechanics, who were unable to identify the cause of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 34,000.

Bought the vehicle beginning of March. Thought it was the battery because it wouldn't hold a charge. Coded battery. Replaced. Twice. Electrical power steering started to code. That wasn't the issue.car started to stall while on the highway or in traffic and cut out. Scary when there's semis behind you and you were just going 65 mph in a 70 and I had just got on the highway from the on ramp and was trying to get to speed when it cut out. the crank shaft position sensor coded then so had it replaced and its still rough on acceleration and shifting and it's an automatic transmission.

It was 12/21/2022 at about 3:15 PM in the afternoon and I had just turned right into the parking lot of St. Alexius Medical Center, 1555 Barrington Rd, Hoffman Estates, IL 60169. I took a left turn, and went north about fifty feet and stopped at a stop sign. A car was stopped at the same intersection from the right facing west. As I waited for the other car to turn in front of me, my 2011 Kia Rio started to surge in speed without my foot on the accelerator. I instinctively jammed on my brake pedal to avoid...

Yes my son bought this car last year I have been checking since January there has still been no recalls on his particular car he was in a car accident and unfortunately him and his passengers were all killed. I have contacted an attorney who has sent an inspector they said initial look it look like something to do with a rod in the engine and it catching fire but from other things it's possible he could've had other problems dealing with the brakes the emergency assistance. So they think possible electrical and...

I was driving on interstate 8 in la mesa california at approximately 70 mph when the throttle on my vehicle stuck. I was able to shift my vehicle into neutral and pull over. The engine continued revving until I shut off the ignition. The throttle cable was stuck. I had the vehicle towed to kia of el cajon where they diagnosed a faulty throttle cable and throttle body. The vehicle would not stop accelerating, and if there had been more traffic, there would have been a collision.

'Tamara recall' my car drive gear has twice slipped into 'shift gear... 1St, 2nd, along with a noticeable lou day sound: usually I put car in drive or reversal, then drive. I didn't know what was going on; then 2nd time I notice near speed, it showed numbers instead of d for drive. Vechile was in motion, I pulled into a restaurant parking lot. Cut car off and started car up again. All was good. 1St time I drove to got home didn't know what was going on.

Vehicle was in motion turning right decelerating as I turned. Once I turned, acceleration pedal was disengaged and no acceleration was happening. Braking system was completely locked up and could not press the brakes. When I coasted to a stop, there was visible fire coming from underneath the engine compartment. Temp gage never registered as high while driving. Within a matter of a couple minutes, the whole car was engulfed in flames as I waited for the fire department to arrive. They said there was no visible...

Takata recall. The computer that tells the transmission to switch gears is stuck and doasnt work. My car will only stay in 3rd gear and reverse. It has no power and goes in limp mode. I have 3 small kids and it is very dangerous for me to drive with it like this since the day I bought it. Plz help me.

Sold a car that turned out to be a 'lemon' after only a month of having it began breaking down the most recent issue being the cadillac converter making it a little dangerous to drive because speed is affected along with toxic fuel, whenever I drive up a hill the car is loud slow to where it sometimes rolls backwards or stops and at a green light car can not reach minimum speed cause other cars anger and strong fuel order sometimes when starting car, car cut off once at red light and when turning vehicle moves entirely too slow to when oncoming cars almost make contact

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 kia rio. Ever since the vehicle was purchased, the service engine indicator illuminated and the vehicle failed to accelerate suddenly due to an internal engine failure. The dealer (bob bell kia of baltimore, 7900 eastern ave #1, baltimore, md 21224, (410) 288-2500) initially diagnosed that there was a wrench under the hood, but had been the only repair facility servicing a vehicle, the second time, the throttle body was replaced. During the third repair, the engine assembly was replaced,...

I bought a used kia with 90,000 miles on it and within 2 weeks we were having problems with acceleration and power. It hesitates upon acceleration and lunges forward suddenly. It loses speed an power on the interstate in seconds. It isn't uncommon to go from 70 to 30 unexpectedly for no reason. After thousands of dollars of repair including maf sensor, all o2 sensors, and a new catalytic converter the problem remains. It is not safe to drive a car that lunges and then loses power unexpectedly. A car like this...

Car accelerated on its own, rpm's revving while driving down a major highway. Could not get car to slow down so had to steer car into a concrete barrier. Problem existed before the accident doing the same thing(rpm's revving) in park or reverse or accelerating on its own without pushing the gas pedal. Took in for repair and 4 days later was in the accident. Kia dealership telling me that the problem cannot be duplicated while driving it or performing inspection. According to their results, car is safe to drive. The acceleration problem occurred randomly before the accident. I do not feel safe to get back in the car and drive again.
