Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH DOWN FREEWAY KIA SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE HAD TO MANEUVER ACROSS 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET TO SHOULDER. ONCE I TURNED VAN OFF AND RESTARTED, I COULD ONCE AGAIN ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED 3 MORE TIMES WITHIN A 5 MILE STRETCH. FINALLY MADE IT TO A GAS STATION WHERE WE CALLED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, I HAD 3 BABIES IN CARSEATS IN VAN AT TIME OF FAILURE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE TRAGEDY IF TRAFFIC WAS ANY WORSE THAN IT WAS. VAN IS AT DEALER NOW WAITING FOR SERVICE. *TR
