Description of the problem	I purchased my car in the greater san diego area back in june 31. 2015. Have approximately 8k miles on my vehicle and notice around 3k my car would jerk when coming to a complete stop. This has happened a few times approximately 3-4 time (average once a month). And today 10-27-2015, my car once again jerk but this time the engine made a unfamiliar sound. I will be taking it to the dealership as soon as possible. My car has received all schedule maintenance; per owner manuel. It has passed all kia certifed dealer/mechanic inspection when taken in. Also, when the contact to purchase was signed it did not get a full inspection as the dealership was closing and the appropriate staff for inspection had left for the day. Notice when i got home the front passenger signal light did not work. Called the dealership to get my new car fixed and had to wait for approximately 3-5 days for the repair, at that point it also passed thier inspection.
