While driving from the babysitter to my house on 07/19/2011 my car shut down while i was turning in a busy intersection. i was alone with my kids in the middle of the road while cars try to go around me after 3 minutes my car turned back on when i got home my stereo shut down and engine started making nose. i called the dealer spoke to a sales person who wanted me to come in for a trade in, spoke to jeff from the service department and he will call me back to schedule an appointment to come in. this is not the fist time i had a problem with the van stereo it's been changed before, door handles and other miscellanies work have been done, the grip from the back door is coming off. *kb
2 months while decelerating at red light, acceleration occurred while pressing brake pedal, stopped within a fraction of an inch from car in front of me. last night while driving 70mph on hwy esc and check engine lights came on and lost all acceleration function. car stayed idling but could not regain acceleration. had to cross over 4 lanes of traffic to get to an offramp exit. was able to pull over to small shoulder and had myself and 6 children standing on highway while waiting for roadside assistance. the exit was for another hwy so we had no safe place to stand but along the guardrail of 2 hwys. was told to call a taxi and would be reimbursed. now kia motors is telling me that since i purchased a fleet vehicle i am not covered under a warranty because it is at 70000. purchased as certified reowned and was told it would be covered for 10 years 10,000 miles. same problem was recalled on the 06 and 07 models but has not been corrected for 08 model. we all could have been killed!!! dealer was not even able to look at it yet and said they won't until tomorrow so here i am on the second day without transportation and do not know what it is going to take to be fixed. internet searches and complaint search on this site reveal complaints of the same nature to numerous to count. *tr
