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.

Ignition coils. Ever since i bought my kia in 2015 i have had to replace the ignition coils every 3-6 months. At first, when it was still under factory warranty, the dealership kept telling me they cannot find anything wrong with the car even though it would jump and even shut off on me when idling. It took 3 months of me taking the car back and forth to the kia dealership before the figured out what was going on with my car because the check engine light never came on. It turned out to be the ignition coils. Once they were replaced everything was fine. On top of this, i was so stressed out about my car that it made me physically ill and gave me a rash all over my body (i have medical records to prove it) and once the issue was fixed, all of my physical ailments disappeared. Since then, i have had to change all 4 coils every 3-6 months. This last set only lasted me 2 months before it started with the same issues again. I have researched this issue and found dozen of forums regarding this same issue with my same exact make, year, model. There has to be something that is causing this to happen so often. I know it's a kia but i should be able to drive my car more than a few months before it breaks down. It doesn't matter where i am, what speed i am going or how long i am traveling, this issue still occurs.

CrashNoY 1 InjuredNone20180927

As i was driving straight through an intersection of which i had a green light, the vehicle coming the opposite way through the intersection failed to yield and took a left turn hitting me head-on. We were each going between 30-35 miles per hour. I slammed my head on the steering wheel, shearing my brain from the inside of my skull resulting in a massive internal bleed. I also suffered a severe concussion and tore several ligaments in my neck. I currently continue to suffer from terrible migraines and have been unable to resume my previous profession as an architect. Why did my airbag not protect me from slamming my head on the steering wheel? It seems my airbag only partially deployed. I remember it touched my face but definitely did not protect me from hitting my head on the steering wheel. I was in a serious brain fog for months after the accident and my lawyer mis-advised me in not pursuing legal action against the airbag manufacturer. Now the car has been sold for parts.

My car keeps randomly turning off while i'm at a stop or waiting at a red light. The first time it happened i was waiting at a red light & then i tried to make a right turn after it turned green and in the middle of me trying to turn it turned off. Thank his there were no cars around or else something could have happened. Random pedestrians helped me push the car out of the way. & after trying to restart it for about 20 minute sit finally started. The second time it happened was the very next day. I was waiting at a red light and it just turned off. But it started back up right away. The third time & this was yesterday, i got to work and i was in the parking lot. My car was parked but still running and it turned off. It wouldn't start back up until about 15 later. Sometimes it will start back right away & other times i have to wait for 15/20 minutes or more and try again and it will start. I've done a diagnostics test & battery check. Everything comes back good. No one can figure out the problem. I do not feel safe driving this car. I'm not sure if you guys have received any other complaints about this problem but can someone please contact me. I've been having this problem for about a month now.
