Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2011 KIA SORENTO. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE "PUSH BUTTON START" WOULD NOT START. ONCE, IT STARTED I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. BUT, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. TODAY AFTER SEVERAL HOURS IT STILL WILL NOT START. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IT TOWED IN THE MORNING AND DEAL WITH THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. ALSO ON SEVERAL OCCASIONSI WAS UNABLE TO TAKE MY CAR OUT OF DRIVE AND PUT IT IN PARK. I HAD TO PUT MY EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. *TR
