I purchased this vehicle second hand at 43k miles. The issue began around 50k miles and would rough idle when coming to a stop and a check engine light appeared. At 55k miles it was taken to a Kia dealership where they were unable to diagnose the issue.

The vehicle had been driven for over 300 miles one this particular tank of gas, so I'm certain that the fuel gauge is correct; the gas light is also on. I parked at a gas station and put the car in park and turned off the car. I attempted to fill the tank, but the fuel will not go in.

On numerous occasions, without any obvious cause, acceleration is delayed for several seconds. Then the engine will suddenly rev high without shifting up. The problem began about one year or 5000 miles into ownership of the new vehicle.
