Description of the problem	On 3/25/14, my 2012 sorento just shut off while driving. The car was put in park and it started fine. Took it to the dealer and it spent 2 days at the dealer. The problem could not be recreated , no fix, no issue they kept stating & there was nothing to fix. Now we're in may 2014 and the car shut off again. I was at a light and the car just shut off. I put the car in park and it started again. The is a huge safety issue and kia is taking no action for this and there seems to be alot of complaints about this on your website. I think an investigation should be opened and something should be done for kia sorento owners. We are paying for cars with a huge safety issue and obviously need the cars we are paying for.
