| Description of the problem | I bought my 2007 kia sorento in october 2007, and i have had it into the shop more times then i can count for a violent jerking, stuttering, stalling. Each time i take it in the service department drives it and tells me they can't find anything wrong with it. I had it in a couple of weeks ago and they adjusted the air intake valve which helped but did not solve the problem. If they can't fix it soon it will be pushed off a cliff.... |
