NHTSA Complaint #10911169 — 2013 KIA SORENTO

I WAS TRAVELLING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE GASOLINE PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. ABOUT 5 SECONDS LATER A FEW LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN THE ENTIRE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I COASTED TO THE CURB IN A NO PARKING ZONE. I TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT IT WOULD NOT "TURN OVER." APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES LATER THE CAR STARTED AND I DROVE APPROXIMATELY ONE MINUTE WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AGAIN. I CALLED THE KIA ROADSIDE ASSIST AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM AWAITING AN ANSWER FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY WIFE ALSO WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 2 TIMES IN THE PAST AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW DOWN IN A FAST MANNER BY ABOUT 20 MPH. SHE COULD THEN SPEED UP AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ANSWER FOR THAT PROBLEM.
