Consumer Description

I OWN A 2000 KIA SPORTAGE EX THAT HAS REPEATEDLY STALLED WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN. THIS HAS RESULTED IN MY BEING STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTIONS/PART OF THE WAY ACROSS A ROAD, DESPERATELY TRYING TO RESTART MY CAR BEFORE BEING HIT. IT HAS ALSO LOST POWER WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE, DROPPING FROM 65MPH WITH NO WARNING. IF I DO NOT GET OFF THE HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY I RISK LOSING TOTAL POWER. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP IN DURHAM,NC MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY CAN NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM ON THEIR COMPUTERS. INDEPENDENT MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE DONE ON THIS CAR.*AK
