2015 kia forte high vibration and car trying to accel while stopped?

Asked by Legenkilla Oct 05, 2018 at 05:40 PM about the 2015 Kia Forte LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I just bought a kia forte 2015 with
40,000 miles on it. When i first got the
car the car would shake but i was
told the body is jsut to small on the
car or something like that. Today i
started driving my car ( it wasnt doing
it this morning) but when i stop at a
light or so the engine revs 3 times
then the rpm bar goes up and i feel
my car jerk like its trying to go. I cant
get into maintnance till oct 9th n im
scared to drive it. This is my first car
so im paranoid enough as it is about
it. Especially sence ill be paying it off
for like 6 years. Any ideas? So far i
tryed seeing if my gas pedal was
stuck or so and i turned my car off
and back on to see if that would fix it
but no luck. Any suggestions? Also
there is no lights on in my cars
dashboard showing a issue.

Did you buy from a dealership? And does it still shake when you drive it? Whoever told you the body was to big was full of it. There's a lot of things that could cause your car to shake from a knot in a tire all the way down to your engine not being bolted all the way down. But I've never heard of the cars body being to big and I was a professional mechanic for 6 years and have worked on cars for 20+ years but your car reving up could be a few things ....a sensor has gone bad, bad gas, fuel injector is going bad. Ect.

But my advice is get it into a mechanic ( a good one) as soon as possible and I would try not to drive it that much

Did you ever figure out what happened to your car? I am having the same problems only 60k miles and I bought it pretty new.
