NHTSA Complaint #11005319 — 2013 KIA SORENTO

VEHICLE STALLS SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING 72 MPH IN TRAFFIC, THRUSTS ME OVER STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO RIGHT LANE. PUZZLED FOUND OUT TIRES ARE FINE. UPON RETURNED TO HWY, VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 60 MPH. TOWED CAR. MECHANICS RUNS CODE AND FIND NO INCIDENTS. THEY DRIVE CAR AND FIND NOTHING. TEN DAYS, LATER CAR MIMICS SAME BEHAVIORS. VERY DANGEROUS AS I AM IN TRAFFIC AND CARS ARE BEHIND ME. TOWS CAR AGAIN. MECHANIC RUNS CODE AND FIND NOTHING. THEY DECIDES IT IS SOLENOID IN TRANSMISSION. THEY RELEASE IT ME. I AM DAYS LATE PICKING IT UP. THEY CONTINUE TO TEST DRIVE IT. CAR MIMICS SAME PUZZLING BEHAVIORS HOURS BEFORE I PICK IT UP. I HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF VEHICLE STALL IN HWY BEFORE IT WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS NO SMOKING, NO SPILLING LIQUIDS, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NO SMELLS, THE CAR WOULD MAKE A "THUMP" NOISE AND STOP. THIS IS FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS.
