Description of the problem	Chapter 2. Nhtsa id number: 10519967 the problem occurred saturday 6/15, dealership closed. Called dealership this morning and was able to bring the car right in. Left the car all day and then received the news, they cannot reproduce the incident. So of course nothing was repaired. So i drove home in the 'death wish' car and prayed all the way home. The car is a 2011 kia sorento 6 cyl awd manufactured in august 11, 2010. I have search the internet nightly and i am finding more and more people who have exact issue as i experienced. This is making me sick knowing that kia corp knows about this defect and is not taking action to correct this potentially deadly defect. How do we get their attention that this defect needs to be corrected. Do we have to check off the fatality box on this form before kia pays attention to us. Please if someone has had a good result with their dealership as far as getting a repair done without reproducing the error code, please contact me with that information. The lemon law in my state is 5 attempts at repairing the problem and no resolve... I only have 4 more to go! Kia help us please... This defect is in your 2011, 2012 and 2013 kia sorento.... Something is extremely wrong with your powertrain in these cars. Take ownership of the defect and save our lives.
