Description of the problem	2004 kia sorento manual transmission transmission locks up randomly. I am unable to change gears. The shift stick moves to the various positions but the car remains in gear. This occurs while driving or stopped and trying to upshift or downshift . I have had the vehicle to the kia dealer on three occasions, but they are not able to duplicate the problem and hence, can do nothing about it. Last occurrence, on 3/27/2008, had vehicle towed to the dealer, however they said that it was not locked up when they drove it. No help from kia customer service either.
