problem #1

Aug 092017

Forte 4-cyl

  • 3,600 miles
The contact owns a 2017 Kia Forte. When the contact attempted to apply the brake or accelerator pedals, their foot was blocked by some kind of partition on the floor. The partition was located between the accelerator and brake pedals and prevented the contact from braking or accelerating in a timely manor. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to auto express Kia (10320 wattsburg rd, erie, pa 16509, (814) 825-4747), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 3,600. Consumer stated you agent could not have taken my report any more incorrect. The problem and danger is above the gas and brake pedals. When changing from gas to brakes my foot (toes) is coming in contact with an air baffle. This is a dangerous gang from gas to breaks. This needs looked into by your Agency and corrected.
