Consumer Description

2007 KIA SPECTRA'S ENGINE DIES AFTER I FILL IT UP WITH GAS, BUT WILL BE FINE AFTER I'VE USED SOME GAS. I DON'T TOP OFF MY GAS SO THAT CANNOT BE THE PROBLEM. I FIND IT VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WHEN IT DIES DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A KIA DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AFTER THEY RAN TESTS ON IT. MY SPECTRA WASN'T GIVING THE KIA DEALERSHIP MECHANIC ANY PROBLEMS SO AFTER HAVING MY CAR FOR ALMOST 1 WEEK THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME AND TOLD ME TO TAKE MY CAR BACK IN TO THEM IF IT SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN, SO I PLAN ON TAKING IT BACK IN TOMORROW MORNING ASAP! *TR
