Consumer Description

MY 2008 KIA SORENTO IS EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION LUNGING. THERE IS ONLY 40,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE DOES THIS EVERY DAY, EXCEPT WHEN I TAKE IT INTO THE DEALER. ONCE I DO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALER, THEY SAY THAT NOTHING IS WRONG AND THAT THEY CANNOT GET THE CAR TO DO THE SAME THING I DO. I BELIEVE THAT NO DIAGNOSTICS WERE PERFORMED, AND I KNOW THAT A PROPER ROAD TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN 2 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN DETERMINED. *TR
