What owners wrote
I have an '05 kia amanti. This car has a "sudden acceleration" causing the car to speed forward when applying the brakes. I have been in two rear-end collisions in the last year and have not been in an accident in over 30yrs prior. I have had the car taken to sentry kia to be repaired but, they just say, they cannot duplicate the problem - so there is no problem. I know differently. I am afraid to drive this car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 kia amanti. The contact stated the vehicle would independtly decrease speed and would not go any faster then 15 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times who stated they needed to clean the wires. The wires were cleaned but the failure continued. The repair was done under warranty each time. The manufacturer was contacted who offered no assistance. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 30,000 and the failure mileage was 83,000.
