Description of the problem	Pulled out into a busy intersection - car crawled - did not respond to acceleration - lurched quickly into traffic almost causing an accident. Drove further down the road at 40 mph, car acceleration died almost completely, service engine light came on. I pulled off road, called my local kia dealer from whom i bought the car. They were no longer handling kia, had to have car towed an hour away and was told the throttle wire assembly was cleaned out and repaired. This was in january, 2008. February 2008 i took car to shop to have brakes checked - tech took it out for test drive. When he came back he asked if it had a problem with severe hesitation. I told him it was fixed last month (under warranty). He said he pulled into busy traffic twice and the vehicle failed to accelerate, almost causing 2 accidents. I drove the car back to work, acceleration failed once again and check engine light came on and stayed on. Going to have to have it towed an hour away for them to look at it again - meanwhile i'm without any form of transportation ( cannot get loaner) once it's fixed i will have to pay someone to drive me an hour away to pick it up! They need to figure out the problem - i have seen numerous complaints on the internet about this. It's causing me to be paranoid about even driving it, not knowing when it might happen again!
