Some Kia Seltos owners report experiencing loss of power and random stalling, often accompanied by the check engine light. These issues may arise from problems in the fuel system, air intake system, or ignition system, which can trigger the check engine light. Additionally, irregular engine performance and misfires during acceleration can be linked to faults in the ignition cylinder or exhaust gas oxygen sensor. The check engine light may also indicate issues with components such as spark plugs, O2 sensors, or mass airflow sensors. Other potential causes for the warning light include a loose fuel cap, excess vibration, a blocked cylinder, a bad fuel mix, excessive heat, or conditions leading to reduced engine power. It is advisable for owners experiencing these symptoms to have their Kia Seltos inspected by a qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis and resolution.
