2023 Kia Sportage Fuel System Problems

Check Hybrid System warning keeps coming on. Dealer can't find a problem.

Defective fuel injectors on my 2023 Kia Sportage I purchased 6 months ago

The contact owns a 2023 Kia Sportage. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle unexpectedly decelerated and failed to properly accelerate before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer, who determined that the fuel injector was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, while at the dealer, the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V531000 (POWER TRAIN), but later while driving, the message "Low Engine Oil" was displayed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 71,000.

This is a new vehicle with only 1200 miles on it. I was told by Gunther Kia in Ft. Lauderdale that my car could be serviced at any Kia dealership. The car has developed a fuel injection problem. When in heavy traffic with a lot of stop/go, the fuel injection does not seem able to keep up with the aceleration and deceleration required. The car hesitates. As the trip progresses the hesitation progresses. I was trying to enter traffic on the interstate and nearly had a collision because the car would not accelerate quick enough.
