| WE HAVE 2013 KIA SORENTO, IT IS BEEN FEW MONTHS WE HAVE THIS PROBLEM OF SHUTTING ENGINE DOWN WHEN DRIVING IN SLOW SPEED AROUND 35 TO 40 MILES SOMETIME LESS AND SOMETIME STOPPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, ALSO WE NOTICED IF WE GO OVER THE STREET BUMPS OR DOWN HILL LIKE ENTERING UNDERGROUND PARKING. BEEN IN DEALER TOO MANY TIMES, BEEN CONTACT BY CORPORATE OFFICE; EVERY TIME WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEIR ANSWER WAS, WE DROVE WE COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM AND WE HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, BECAUSE THEY ARE DRIVING IN HWY WITH 70 OR HIGHER SPEED. FEW MONTHS BACK DEALER CALLED AND INFORMED US WE HAVE RECALL BY KIA AND IT IS RELATED TO YOUR PROBLEM, THEY FLUSH THE SOFTWARE AND LOAD NEW. CAR WAS RUNNING FINE UNTIL FEW DAYS AGO SHUTS DOWN TWO TIMES IN THREE DAYS IN MALLS PUBLIC PARKING PLACE AND ONCE AT STOP SIGN AND BOTH TIMES CAUSE PROBLEM FOR OTHER CARS. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO KIA DEALER AND THEY CALLED US BACK AGAIN WITH NO RESULT. I LEFT THE CAR AT DEALER AND NOT GOING TO GET IT BACK UNTIL THEY RESOLVE THIS ISSUE OR GIVE US OUR DOWN PAYMENT BACK. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR MY SELF AND MY FAMILY AND OTHER DRIVERS AND THEIR FAMILY BUT I GUESS KIA CORP DOESN'T CARE AND JUST WANTS TO MAKE MONEY. | |
