NHTSA Complaint #10927631 — 2009 KIA SPORTAGE

2009 KIA SPORTAGE LX COMPLAINT. WE HAVE RECENTLY BEEN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION SURGING. THE OCCURRENCES ARE RANDOM; HOT OR COLD IN D-GEAR AT A STOP-LIGHT OR IN PARK POSITION. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE KIA DEALER TWO TIMES. ON THE SECOND TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT AFTER A TEST-DRIVE ON THE SECOND DAY, THE MECHANIC DID NOTICE THE SURGING OF THE TACHOMETER AND THE 'FIX' WAS TO RE-ROUTE/LOOSEN THE CRUISE CONTROL CABLE. TWO DAYS LATER, THE ENGINE SURGING RE-APPEARED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN RESULT IN INJURY TO PEDESTRIANS, AND OTHER DRIVERS. WHEN THE ENGINE SURGE/RACING OCCURS THE TACHOMETER GOES UP AND DOWN FROM UNDER 1,000 TO 5,000 RPM'S. IT HAS HAPPENED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND WHILE IN PARK AND IN GEAR. DURING THE LATEST EVENT, WE HAVE A VIDEO TAKEN WITH OUR I-PHONE SHOWING THE TACHOMETER GOING UP AND DOWN IN THE 'PARK' POSITION. WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR BECAUSE THIS SAFETY DEFECT CAN CAUSE BODILY DANGER AS IT LUNGES FORWARD DUE TO ENGINE RACING. I'VE ALSO POSTED THIS SAFETY DEFECT ON 'CARCOMPLAINTS.COM' TO WARN OTHERS. GOGGLING THIS ISSUE ON YAHOO.COM REVEALS OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. CAN WE GET SOME HELP ON THIS?
