Consumer Description

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE I BOUGHT CAR IN 2006 ,THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS TO 10-15 MPH, YOU GET NO RESPONSE FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THEN SUDDENLY LURCHES FORWARD AT FULL THROTTLE. EVERY AMANTI OWNER I HAVE SPOKEN WITH HAS THIS ISSUE! A DRIVER COULD BE EASILY INVOLVED IN A FATAL INCIDENT WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS ALSO OCCURS UPON STARTUP WHEN PARKED. IF THERE IS A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU IN A PARKING LOT, YOU WOULD HIT IT. ONE OWNER SAID HE HAD THE CONTROL MODULE "FLASHED" AND IT SOLVED HIS PROBLEM. COULD WE PLEASE GET SOME ACTION ON THIS? KIA IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I TELL THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT IT EVERY TIME I'M AT THE DEALER. I WILL FILE A GIANT LAWSUIT IF I'M INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND SURVIVE. I'M IN ON A CLASS ACTION SUIT IF ANYONE HAS ONE GOING. *TR
