File date	01/07/10
Component	SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	After using brakes to slow down, accelerator hesitates. Need to push gas pedal down several times before accelerating (it becomes "dead"). Has occurred at least 6 times if not more. Reported it to dealership twice and they attributed it to the fact that if you use two feet to drive (left foot on brake - right on gas) and if there is a chance that left foot may be slightly touching brake pedal, then the computer is "confused". Not an acceptable answer. Some people do drive this way and this should be taken into account. It is a safety risk and a near risk on a couple instances. Kia needs to be accountable and address this situation. *js
