Description of the problem	I have a 2006 kia optima that was just purchased 2 months ago. It has a problem stalling when coming to a stop. I have had it looked at by the dealer several times and the could not duplicate the problem. I also work at the same dealership. One of the last times this happened i almost hit a business sign turning a corner. I believe the dealer and kia are not doing all they should since i work there. They only looked at the vehicle one time and only checked a couple of things. I have been in the car business almost 20 years and i am not satisfied with what they have done. The factory rep. For kia did not really care. His name is don stevens. I do not feel safe driving this car. Before i purchased vehicle the dealer had already had to repair the fuel pump on the vehicle. *nm
