Something with the electrical system in this electric vehicle was not functioning properly as the car would go into turtle mode as the service department called it. 45 mph then dropping to 30 mph before reaching the dealership. My safety was at risk because driving on the highway could have had someone rear end up by slowing down. The dealership has been inspected. Waiting at the dealership since Monday Oct 12, 2026. I don't think my vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or…

On Sunday, October 4, 2026, the vehicle lost drive power while I was operating it. At the same time, steering became extremely difficult and the brakes required extraordinary physical force to apply. I had to use all of my strength to safely bring the vehicle to a stop. At that point we were stranded in the #2 lane of travel. This was not a minor inconvenience or an isolated warning light; it was a serious roadway safety event. Had my wife been driving, I do not believe she would have had the…

Dear Kia Customer Care, I am writing to formally report a serious and recurring safety issue with my Kia vehicle. I have repeatedly experienced a Power Limited error while driving, often accompanied by a turtle icon and a Check Electric Vehicle System warning. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has suddenly lost power and stalled in the middle of the road. This is extremely dangerous and has put me and other drivers at risk. A vehicle should never lose propulsion unexpectedly, especially in…

I was driving my car on the highway, then I got the message çheck your electrical system'for around a minute. Then there was a rumble or bang as if I hit something with the back, but the road was clean. Then the car started slowing down and I drove to the side. I got out of the car and saw white smoke coming from under the car in the back. I started opening the hood and trunk in the back to find out, where the smoke came from. It was nothing to see. Because it was an electrical car I assumed,…
