problem #2

UNKNOWN. Second instance of car not working while driving; this time is was on a highway. Both times "Check Hybrid System" warning comes on. Previously the dealer had to replace entire battery (covered under warranty at the time). This apparently common and may have to do with some fuse. I believe the vehicle shows the battery as completely empty now. I also think my particular Kia Niro should be included in campaign 18V257000. My car is the correct year make and model and I believe something is leaking which could have also caused my battery to fail while driving.

I had this car 2 months when I realized I am not getting mpg and also the transmission is jerking off. Mpg on highway is about 35 mpg and about 40 in street. About transmission every time I am about slowing down I hear noise from underneath of car and some times I feel shake, and also few times very hard kick. I have brought this issue with service at carson, and glendale Kia and both service rep gave me same answer about this clutch is computer and it is normal if jerks. And also once I asked service tech to drive the car and he said same thing.
