Description of the problem	My 2012 kia rio began to accelerate on its own without my foot on the gas to 60mph on a city street. I almost got into an accident. When the tow truck showed up to take my car to dealership, we started the car and the problem subsided. The tow truck driver told me that he would have to charge me for the tow since the problem isn't currently taking place, and kia said i would get the bill for inspection since the problem isn't able to be replicated. I have had serious problems with this car for the past 5 months with it sporadically not starting, then starting. Kia was unable to replicate the problem, so never fixed it as they don't actually work at looking for the problem, but want the car to be in an inoperable condition so that the code reader can do the work for them. Today was a new problem. I could have died! Kia corp is just ignoring me. I am paying alot of money for this car and can't drive it because it is dangerous. I am terrified of it now!
