No he said Kia had his car for two weeks and now he's had it back for two weeks lol
I actually tried a search, but didn't come up with anything definitive. The problem with searching is knowing what terms to use to find what you're looking for. "Stuck in Park" didn't yield much.
I'll post the answer to the problem when I can get the car to a dealer next week.
Kia had the car for two weeks. They said there was a bad factory ground that fried the Wastegate Acuator solenoid.My car is a 2012 SX with Premium Touring. This morning I went into the garage to start the car and drive to my store. I started the engine but couldn't get out of Park! After I pried off the little shift lock protector and pressed inside with a screwdriver (as described in the Manual), I got it into Neutral and Showbox jiofi.local.html tplinklogin got the car started. ALL the warning lights were lit on the driver display, and the car didn't seem to shift properly. I couldn't control the shifting manually. Rather than drive the car that way, I drove the two blocks back home and parked the car. I drove my MINI to work instead.
So, the question: Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what seems to be the problem? I called a KIA dealer's service dept. and they couldn't diagnose over the phone... they said to have the car towed to the nearest dealer by Kia Roadside Assistance. We had some seriously heavy rain last night in North Georgia, while I was driving home, and I'm wondering if something shorted out from water. Any suggestions will be welcomed! I really hate having the car towed if unnecessary.

"Opened Techline Case. Found TSB ELGC 033. Removed console and repaired ground terminal. Reassembled, retested. Vehicle now operating as designed. During DCS printout found open service action SA119 EWGA inspection/adjustment rev. Open Service action. Completed service action SA119 EWGA Inspection/adjustment."
I requested TSBSearch.com to add it to their database, and I have the information now. I'll attach it for anyone who's interested.But... if anyone can post the TSB ELGC 033 for me, I'd appreciate it.
This same exact thing happening to me...what recall is it? I've had all my recalls attended to, could it be that what ever it is failed after the dealers said it was fine?it's a recall, i work for a KIA dealership, take it in and they will fix it
I have a 2015 Kia forte and I have this same problem. All lights on and couldn’t put it into drive. Next day I started it and I was able to put it into drive. Had it towed. The mechanic has it for a week and drove it daily and said they couldn’t find an issue. That was 2mo ago. I was driving today and all the lights came one. Rpm went to 0 as well as the Mph. My range was going crazy. I got to where I was going and now I can’t get it into drive. Someone please helpoh and there was no TSB on it that i could find but i had a customer on a EX-T base that that happened to, we did the work on it.
Call RSA and get it towed to your local dealer. There may be a way to drive it there if you feel comfortable but I cannot remember what needed to be done.My car is a 2012 SX with Premium Touring.
