Description of the problem	I was driving on a major highway in pa, rt. 83 and my check engine light came on. Luckily i got off the highway because the next thing that happened was no power when i pressed on the gas pedal. I got it towed to my garage and they told me it was the accelerator position sensor. I got it replaced. Two weeks later it happened again. I was smart enough to get off the highway when the check engine light came on. Imagine if i keep driving on the highway. No acceleration. I would have been killed. Rt. 83 is one of the worst highways in south central pennsylvania for tracker trailer accidents. This sorento is a 2011 and only 55,900 mile. What yhe heck. Twice in a month. I want this on record because if this vehicle causes me to get in an accident that kills me, kia is liable. I only purchased this vehicle in october 2018. I can't afford to buy another vehicle. Please let me know what i should do?
