Description of the problem	We have had our 2005 amanti into the dealership several times with complaints of "sudden acceleration" or jack rabbit type of starts. This problem has caused several near misses, but no wrecks so far. Each time we are told by the dealer that they can not duplicate the problem and no repair is made. The last time we took it in, we contacted the factory to get them to help. They kept the car for 4 days and still have not replicated the problem. This problem only occurs once or twice a month, so it is not surprising that the mechanic could not replicate it. The dealer tells me that kia will not let them do any repairs unless they can duplicate the problem. I verified this talking to kia factory customer service representative. Their plan is to do no repair unless the problem becomes constant. Needless to say, i feel this leaves my driving family in a potentially dangerous position.
