2016 Kia Sportage VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

The car accelerated of its own accord, I had been driving 30-35 miles an hour when it accelerated suddenly and caused me to wreck.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 KIA SPORTAGE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND FAILED TO BACKPEDAL FOR 2-3 SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A CERTAIN COMPONENT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT DID NOT KNOW THE EXACT COMPONENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC THE GAS PETAL SOMETIMES DOESN'T WORK. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION, BECAUSE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC.
