Description of the problem	The gas pedal on this vehicle, which only has 22k miles on it, is hard to press down intermittently which could cause an accident. You don't know when you pull out if it's going to go or not and have to press hard on the pedal. I'm told it would need to have the throttle body replaced which there are several complaints online for the same issue and the 2016 kia sorento is under recall for this issue so why isn't the 2005 included? Also, it has a gas gauge issue, which there are complaints on.
