Description of the problem	I never know when my car will start jerking. The car will run fine then out of the blue when i am backing up the car will start jerking. I put it in drive and press all the way on the gas -but there is no power. I press again and the car will start jerking . I have brought it back to the dealer three times,even left it there for 3 days but they are unable to duplicate the problem. This problem has happened more than two dozen times. There is no warning when it will happen. I almost hit a car twice when i was backing up- you are powerless and you can not control the jerking. I pulled out in traffic and the car behind almost hit me because the car would not go. I sure heard his horn blasting at me. There is also a blue flash of light on the dashboard when driving at night. It is a quick flash-then it is gone. I have also brought the car to the dealer about this problem - they can't duplicate it. Something is drastically wrong. I wrote to kia- but did not receive an answer. *jb
