| Description of the problem | First noticeable incident while driving this vehicle in june 2009, while i was driving this vehicle, i pulled out of the driveway, the vehicle all of a sudden stalled, engine light came on and i pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor, nothing. I pulled over put the vehicle in park, killed the engine, restarted the engine, same thing. I had to coast back to my residence. I waited a few hours, went straight out to the vehicle, it started right up and i drove away. The next incident was approx. Months later, same scenario. Now the accelerator sticks, the engine light comes on and the engine revs. I contacted the kia dealer here in tucson, az, they informed me of no recalls on this hazard. I am extremely concerned due for the safety of myself, my family and others this might effect on any road way, something must be done!! I have investigated this online, and apparently this same issue has occurred with several other owners! Please help, i loved my kia sedona, and still owe a lot of money on it |
