This has since happened many times not all the time. To date it has happened 9 0r 10 times. On two occasions car would not shift into neutral but surged at a traffic light dispite my efforts to stop car. I shifted to neutral and stopped car the car worked ok when i shifted into drive thereafter but did it a second time a few weeks later. I did the same thing (shifted to neutral) and it functioned ok. The dealer tested car (on computer and insisted it was ok however when it continued i called kia they refereed me to another dealer (ball kia) nand again tested it but could not find anything wrong. However it is still doing this and i have been back several times. Ball mechanic said to keep driving until it does it so often that they can retest it.
