Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 KIA SORENTO MAY 17, 2014. AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LAST NIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, SUDDENLY THE CAR JERKED AROUND, SOUNDED LIKE I DOWNSHIFTED (ALTHOUGH IT'S AN AUTOMATIC) AND I GOT THE DIAGNOSTIC MESSAGE OF THE "ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM- POSSIBLE ENGINE CONDITION" IT TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. THEY SAID TODAY THAT THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME TO DRIVE. NOT SURE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THESE PROBLEMS YET BUT IT SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IN A BRAND NEW CAR! *TR
