Description of the problem	I was driving to work on monday jan. 9th going approximately 60 mph, when all of a sudden the car jerked violently. Then the car lost power i had to pull over it would not drive, i was pushing the accelerator but it would not respond. Also the tach quit working, check engine light came on. I called my husband who called and scheduled service with our local kia dealership. On my way home it done the same exact thing i had to pull over again, luckily both times there was not a car following too closely. My husband drove the car to the dealership and they kept it for 4 days and said they could not duplicate the problem. We picked it up on sunday thinking everything was fine, we made it home and went to the store. On the way back coming across the pomeroy mason bridge it jerked again very hard and we had to come to a stop in traffic! We called to schedule another appointment for thursday jan. 19. On my way to work today jan. 16 it done the same exact thing! I don't feel safe driving this with my 2 kids in the back seat.
