Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2006 KIA AMANTI APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO FROM THE KIA DEALER IN CHERRY HILL, NJ. SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING THE CAR ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS THE CAR DID NOT MOVE, THEN WHAT SEEMED TO BE AN HOUR IT REVVED UP TO NORMAL POWER. I BROUGHT IT BACK AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND THEY THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE EVENTS. EVENTUALLY I ALMOST GOT HIT ON A MAJOR ROAD. EVENTUALLY THEY PUT A UPDATED SOFTWARE CHANGE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. I AM LUCKY I WAS NOT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR KILLED. I THINK THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED IN OTHER KIA BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR HURT.TOM *TR
