  • Date of Incident: Apr-13, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-16, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE and FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Vehicle entered limp mode on a dangerous rode in central florida and would not accelerate over 20 mph. We had the vehicle towed 70 miles at the expense of $350 outside of coverage by our auto insurance. The dealership advised this was a failure of the catalytic converter which was just changed in dec 2021 under a kia recall campaign. They’re now saying it is not under warranty as they only cover 12 months 12,000 miles.
