ABS light came on for no apparent reason and took car to Kia dealership and was told it needs ABS Issue: -€œYour car is going to need an ABS Actuator, this controls how the ABS modulates the brakes when under dangerous braking conditions so that your brakes don't lock up..$2676.56 just for that repair if you'd like us to replace it-€ and I searched online and do see that some 2019 Kia models had a recall for this very issue, but my VIN is not showing up as affected. The lights came on about 6 mos ago, cleared and then came back on again. Car is at Moritz KIa in FW, TX right now.

Brakes don't feel right some times when I stop. My passage side seat belt dangs for no reason even when there nothing on my set. And ever once in a blue moon I can hear a dang dang noise idk where it's coming from but it's very soft sound.

I was driving up a hill and as I reached the top of the incline, my car stopped accelerating. I then attempted to use my brakes and I barely tapped them, but they reacted as if I slammed on my breaks. I took my foot off of the brakes and I began rolling backwards even though my car was still in drive. My brakes were then locked, I put my car in park and then turned off & then back on my car without removing the key. I then put my car back into drive, however, my gas pedal was still not working. I then turned my car off again, removed the key, put the key back, then restarted and went back into drive and it began to work again. There was not an issue after that.

The brakes did not engage when applied. The road was dry. Speed was 30 mph or less when I attempted to stop at a light. There were no cars ahead of me, and I had plenty of time and room for a regular steady deceleration. The brakes did not engage. Just before I crossed into the crosswalk the car began to buck and the brake pedal forcibly kicked back exactly four times, and the car finally came to a stop. This happened on a state highway that also serves as a main street running through downtown. I was traveling on a straight section of road. I had the car towed to the dealership. I have owned the car, purchased new, for 19 months. Mileage is 17,325. The dealership can find nothing wrong and says the computer didn't register the event. We assume the brakes failed and antilock brakes engaged in an extrordinary manner. I have no documentation as the car is still in the shop 37 odd days later. They still say they have no idea what malfunctioned.

When my phone is plugged into the charger, my screen will go black all of a sudden, and I have to turn the car off and unplug my phone and turn the car back on for the screen to come back on. Also, there have been several occasions where my brakes lock up on me, and I almost hit the person in front of me. Especially in the rain, and I have even had to swerve off the road to avoid a collision. It happens when I am in motion driving and go to stop. The radio screen though has turned off on me whether I am driving or in park.
