While sitting in traffic my car began to shake and then stalled and turned off. It was able to restart and then later while driving down the interstate it began to stop accelerating when I pressed the gas. Fortunately I was able to make it to the shoulder from the left lane as car slowed to a stop and the break pedal locked up.

Turning off a highway onto a rural road & without warning my car would not accelerate. Turn off , let it cool, start up and only get about quarter mile until I lost power again. Had it towed to local garage & told its a blocked catalytic converter & very expensive.

In august of 2020 car was not wanting to accelerate, when making a turn vehicle would start going and then lose momentum followed by a rapid take off in december took vehicle in for software update to trigger a limp mode per kia, at this time advised them of the car burning 2-3 quarts of oil in between 3000 mile oil changes.

At first there was a gurgle that started when accelerating. Then the vehicle would stall out when put in drive. Following that, when parked if I turn on and off the a/c the car will accelerate itself, I've only let it reach 4rpm before I shut it off the ignition because it doesn't go down on it's own.
