Sportage ignition issue (starter engaging randomly)

Postby MISHI » December 15th, 2013, 10:14 am

Has anyone had an issue with the second gen Sportage where the engine is running and the starter randomy engages as if you continue to turn the key (grinding sound)

Whay I found is that if the key in the cylinder moves slightly from its "on" position while running it engages. It also engages if you slowly turn the key towards the "acc" position to switch off. Also it ONLY happens in Park and Neutral

Really annoying and embarrassing to be driving and this thing engaging while driving. Someone mentioned to me that the cylinder on the tuscons are plastic and not metal. So i dunno if the Kia is the same and that it's a broken issue.
