Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2013 KIA SORENTO THAT HAS LOST POWER NUMEROUS (10-15) TIMES. IT HAS OCCURRED IN MULTIPLE SETTINGS, AT LIGHTS, DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, BUT MOSTLY WHILE DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE AT 65-70 MILES AN HOUR. THIS CAR IS GOING TO GET ME, ONE OF MY GRANDBABIES OR SOMEONE ELSE KILLED! ONCE I TURN ON MY HAZZARDS AND GET THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD/MEDIAN, TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON IT STARTS AND CONTINUES ON DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY TOLD ME THE SEAL ON THE GAS TANK WAS BAD AND THEY REPLACED IT. THE SECOND TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY TOLD ME THE COMPUTER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I'M TAKING IT IN FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING AS IT HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN THIS MORNING, WONDER WHAT THEY'LL TELL ME THIS TIME?! I SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD CHEVROLET, NEVER HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM. PLEASE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM AND FORCE AND FIND A FIX" BEFORE" PEOPLE ARE KILLED! *TR
