Consumer Description

TAKA RECALL- VECHICLE HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY/STREETS WHILE DRIVING SEVERAL TIMES, EXAMPLE I COULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SLOWS DOWN, ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS WHICH CAN BE VERY SERIOUS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG, CLEARLY THERE'S AND ISSUE WITH THE CAR. I HAVE BEEN READING STORYS WITH CONSUMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES THAT I'M HAVING. KIA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL WHICH IS SAD DUE TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS AND LIFE THREADING SITUATIONS THIS HAS PUT PEOPLE IN. I'M IN THE PROCESS OF HIRING AND ATTORNEY TO LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE NO ONE IS GIVING ME ANSWERS. NOT SURE WHAT IT COULD BE BUT I'VE ASK AROUND AND SOME SAY IT SOUNDS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE I NEED ANSWERS
