| On 3 occasions my car has slipped out of park after stopping & removing my key... it is possible that my kia has allowed me to remove the key when it is not in park, but i think it is the former.. | |||

| Driving 75 mph on highway the esc off light luminated and check engine light came on. car lost acceleration and power (went from 75 mph to 10 mph instantly on hwy). kia replaced the tps sensor and updated ecm module. one year later same event happened repeatedly. dealer will not fix even with tech bulletin. tried to contact kia motors with no return response. at the current time the vehicle will not accelerate. fastest it will go is 45mph even with acceleration pedal pushed all the way down. when you try to pull out or accelerate the vechicle looses power. randomly the check engine and esc off light will go off and car will accelerate but once over 65mph will lose all power has almosted caused several wrecks that would have caused an accident from behind. the lack of power is dangerous but not as dangerous as the vehicle losing power on the highway or while trying to pull out from a complete stop. vehicle has lost power in intersection nearly causing side wreck. searched on internet and tps seems to be common problem | |||
