Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE SUDDENLY QUITS, THE CAR JERKS, AND THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT WORK. I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE ENGINE REVVING UPON STARTING. I HAVE TO HOLD THE BRAKE FIRMLY BECAUSE THE CAR WILL INTERMITTENTLY LURCH EITHER FORWARD OR BACK WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE CAR TRY TO LURCH FORWARD AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAVE TO KEEP THE BRAKE FIRMLY DEPRESSED SINCE IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS MODEL HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. IT IS A DEFINITE DANGER TO DRIVER, PASSENGERS, AND OTHERS. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT STILL NO RECALL. I WOULD PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT. I TALKED WITH THE DEALER AND KIA AND THEY ARE NO HELP. *TR
