Description of the problem	This is concerning my 2005 kia sorento that i never got the recall letter for the icv sensor, it just so happen that my check engine light came on and i called them complaining and they made it seem as if they were doing me a favor and said bring it in, it is covered and i discovered on the computer that there was a recall. I then had two headlights blow out and the check engine light was back on and they told me to bring it in and then said that it was an electrical issue but it was covered. My car later would not pick up speed and i called them and told them i could be on the highway accelerating and could not pick up speed , the suv was returned for the throttle sensor. Not more than a month later my suv is sluggish and not picking up speed again and they say bring it in and tells me it is not the same thing but this time it is a sensor in the gas tank that has to be replaced and it is not covered under warranty one person quotes me $395. 00 another quotes $595. 00 (i will be writing the better business bureau after this). I just feel that there has been so much going on with 2005 kias someone is going to get seriously hurt if these issues are not looked into. It should not take a life or major accident for these issues to be addressed. A truck or trailer could have hit me several times while i was on the highway trying to accelerate and could not pick up speed. I feel that right now they are preying on defects that is due to the manufacturer and passing the cost on to consumers who have purchased these vehicles. I purchased my car in 2006 with only 115 miles on it and it has given me nothing but problems. Kia is being allowed to get away with these tactics because no one is looking over them because sadly those who are purchasing these vehicles with problems do not know where or who to turn to for help on them being cheated and mistreated at the dealerships. I pray that this matter get the long awaited attention it deserves before someone is seriously hurt.
