The mold in the car has caused two people to get sick . We have told kia of the problem and they have not done anything for us. The car has been test for toxicity mold. I have contacted the bbb auto line and nothing as been resolved in this matter. We are seeing a doctor for the mold and are unable to drive the vehicle on doctor's order and do to the level of mold in the vehicle.
I've had many problems with the catalytic converters disintegrating from within. I've had them replaced many times at least 3 or 4 times in the last 2 yrs the most recent was this summer about 2 months ago. I am having this problem again it begins to act like it's going to stall, then starts vigourously shaking, and it also loses acceleration speed. I'll be driving and all of a sudden it starts acting up and losing speed and it wont go any higher than 20 MPH or so.
