Consumer Description

WHILE FINDING A PARKING SPOT MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SUDDENLY QUIT. AFTER RESTARTING IT, I FOUND A PARKING SPOT AND JUST BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK, IT STALLED AGAIN. APON LEAVING TO GO HOME, A 10 MILE TRIP,EACH TIME I CAME TO A STOP THE VEHICLE STALLED ON ME AN ADDITIONAL 5 TIMES. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST INTANCE OF THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN THE SHOP PREVIOUSLY FOUR OTHER TIMES. EACH TIME SAYING THAT IT WAS DUE TO A LOOSE AIR INTAKE VALVE. I ACTUALLY ALMOST HAVE PANIC ATTACKS NOW WHEN COMING TO A STOP ON A BUSY INTERSECTION FOR FEAR MY VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL AND I AM GOING TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO KIA, YET AGAIN, TOMORROW TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED.
