NHTSA Complaint #10981194 — 2012 KIA SPORTAGE

OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS OR SO, MY KIA SPORTAGE SUV HAVE BEEN STALLING PERIODICALLY WITHOUT WARNING. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I CAN BE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH OR 25 MPH AND IT WILL STALL. IT HAS HAPPENED ON SUNNY DAYS AS WELL AS RAINY DAYS. I'VE CONTACTED GATEWAY KIA IN DENVILLE NJ MANY TIMES COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. THE SERVICE MANAGER JOE TOLD ME TO TRY USING SUNOCO PREMIUM GAS TO NO AVAIL. I ALSO HAD THE MANIFOLD CHANGED BUT THE STALLING STILL HAPPENS. I'VE CONTACTED KIA CORPORATION AND WAS TOLD BY BRUCE HARTD SINCE MY CAR HAS OVER 187,000 MILES (MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES) AND SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE STALLING THERE IS NOTHING KIA CAN DO. I WAS TOLD BY KIA CORPORATION THAT MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THEIR ENGINE STALLING RECALL TO BE ANNOUNCED MAY 19TH. I THINK IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED BECAUSE MY CAR ENGINE IS ALSO STALLING MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS FOR ME TO USE IT BUT IT IS THE ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION I HAVE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. PLEASE HELP!
