r/KiaK5

I was driving to work this morning and after turning out to the street from home, the car had like no power. I basically had it floored and it was not going past 1,800 RPM. Put it in park and tired again and still it was just super weak and had to really press the gas just to get up the street to home.

Turned around and parked at home. Had it towed to a Kia dealer near me. When they went to drive it, it was working fine for them. There were no warnings on the dash for me and they couldn’t find any error codes, they did a thorough diagnostic they said. I did get an oil change, engine air filter replacement, and fuel system cleaner 5 days ago at the same dealer but they said they checked everything.

Has anyone had this happen before? It was pretty scary to have the car lose all power and I’m worried it could happen on the highway and leave me stranded. They said they’ve never heard of such an issue with the K5.
