Why is my Kia Rio hesitating when I accelerate?

I recently bought a Kia Rio and I've noticed that it hesitates for a few seconds when I press the gas pedal. I'm not sure if this is normal or if there is something wrong with my car. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

Hello Samantha, it's not normal for the car to hesitate when you accelerate. It could be a sign of an issue with the fuel system or spark plugs. I recommend taking your car to a mechanic to get it checked out.

Hi Samantha, this could also be a problem with the transmission. It's best to take your car to a Kia dealership for a diagnostic check. They'll be able to give you more specific advice and recommendations. Hope this helps!

Hey Samantha, my friend had a similar issue with her Kia Rio and it turned out to be a faulty ignition coil. I suggest getting that checked as well.
