Description of the problem	The first time this incident happened, i was driving my 2008 kia sedona van on a level street at approximately 30mph. The van started accelerating at a fast speed and the brakes would not work. Fortunately, there were no cars coming the other way and no people out walking. I was not able to stop at the stop sign and i put on my emergency brake and turned off the van. The second incident occurred while i was driving up a hill. The van started accelerating and i was not able to use my brakes. This time i put the van in neutral and was able to regain control of the van. I took the van to my mechanic and they did not find any problem with the brakes or anything else. My friend also experienced a similar incident with her newer model kia sedona and uses my same mechanic and found nothing wrong. Her incident happened before my first episode in june. Today, i was driving my daughter to work and the same thing happened as i was driving up a slight elevated street. I was not able to use the brakes and shifted into neutral. I was able to slow the engine and get her to work. I have five children and i have had at least one of them with me when each of these incidences has occurred. I called the kia dealer today and they told me to call monday. This is a very scary situation and i fear serious injury may occur. I was on residential streets when all three episodes occurred and did not have my cruise control on as noted from other kia owners who have experienced this on the highway.
