EVENT_SUMMARY
Your vehicle's throttle cable has a problem that can cause it to freeze in cold weather, making it hard to control the acceleration. This can happen unexpectedly and can lead to a crash.
RISK_ASSESSMENT
If the throttle cable gets stuck, your vehicle may keep accelerating or maintain speed even when you take your foot off the gas pedal, which can cause a crash without warning.
RESOLUTION_PROTOCOL
The dealership will add a protective sleeve around the throttle cable to prevent it from freezing, and this repair is completely free. You can also contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542 to schedule a service appointment.
