2013 Kia Soul Speed Control & Cruise Problems

While driving my 2013 Kia Soul, it has turned off while I was sitting still several times this month. The RPM gauge has stopped working and than my vehicle would not drive, actually it was driving very slow and not getting enough power to go the normal speed. Also now my cruise control does not come on any longer. I took my vehicle to a Kia dealer, where they claimed that they could fix it, but than after I paid over $2000, they stated that they did not have the parts to fix my vehicle.

honor catalytic converter failure under manufacturer warranty which they refuse to honor after 90 days at the kia service center , and fail to replace the defective part

Car wasn’t always turning over right away. When it would, sluggish acceleration meaning gas pedal to floor and slow acceleration. Could have caused major accident when crossing traffic or joining traffic. Car turned off when at busy intersection twice when idling. Could have caused to be rear ended. Auto shop cleaned terminal 6. Stated if happens again, go to Kia to have board replaced

Speed Control may have misfunctioned. I do not really know. When driving, the car randomly drops down to 5 mph and continues on its own at 5mph. The only way to stop is to turn off the engine. The car is not safe to drive This defect puts me at risk and all the cars following me at risk. This defect has not been independently verified but it is easy to reproduce. Check Engine was on due to problems with a multitude of engine sensors.

THE ACCELERATION DROPS OUT AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN TIME. IT IDLES ROUGH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF REGARDLESS OF ISSUES OCCURRING. PEDAL TO THE FLOOR I CAN'T GET MORE THAN 1400 RPMS AND ABOUT 7 MPH. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR SEVERAL TIMES UNABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE AND THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REPLACED SINCE IT BLEW UP A YEAR AND A HALF OR SO AGO. EVERYTHING I'VE READ SEEMS LIKE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR IS FAILING
