Won’t start

Asked by GuruHBL1L Jul 15, 2019 at 05:38 PM about the 2019 Kia Forte S FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a brand new 2019 Kia Forte I got it in May of
this year so basically 2 months ago. When I was
driving yesterday it was working perfectly fine no
funny sounds or anything, but then as I was driving
out of no where the car starts to slow down even
when I’m pressing on the gas pedal and finally
when it completely stopped the check engine,
battery , and oil light came on. I simply took the
key out and put it back in and turned the car on
and it was driving like normal again but today now
it won’t even start I called roadside assistance and
they told me my battery was fine that I have to
reset my alarm system on the car but idk how too
they said to use my key in the door handle but I
don’t know the pattern to do to restart it .

Leased car in April, at approximately 350 miles, hubby went to pick up my permanent license plates and the car lost power and stalled. I had a similar problem driving home from work on Monday, August 5, 2019...4000 miles on car...heading home, luckily now on highway, when tachometer redlines and the car loses acceleration, gas pedal not working. Put on flashers, changed "Driving Mode", and accelerator-gas pedal-workes again. Almost home and happened again before pulling into my driveway. Had it towed to Kia Dealership...service found no problem again. They will contact me after hearing from Kia in California...I love this car but do not feel safe.
