Consumer Description

MY 2011 KIA SORENTO EX 4 CYLINDER HAS HAD A SAFETY ISSUE WITH HESITATION UPON TAKEOFF FROM A STOP SIGN OR ANY STOP. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL ACCELERATE AND I AM VERY CONCERNED IT WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER MANY TIMES AS IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THEY ACT LIKE THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS. ONE TIME THEY DID SAY IT WOULD TAKE A SOFTWARE FIX THAT KIA HAS NOT PROVIDED. I JUST WANT IT FIXED. *TR
