Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IN PA, RT. 83 AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPENED WAS NO POWER WHEN I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I GOT IT TOWED TO MY GARAGE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR. I GOT IT REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IMAGINE IF I KEEP DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. NO ACCELERATION. I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. RT. 83 IS ONE OF THE WORST HIGHWAYS IN SOUTH CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA FOR TRACKER TRAILER ACCIDENTS. THIS SORENTO IS A 2011 AND ONLY 55,900 MILE. WHAT YHE HECK. TWICE IN A MONTH. I WANT THIS ON RECORD BECAUSE IF THIS VEHICLE CAUSES ME TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT THAT KILLS ME, KIA IS LIABLE. I ONLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER 2018. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO?
