Description of the problem	1. A few months ago i lost power while entering the highway was nearly rear ended 2. A few months ago while driving the car on a highway or basic street it will jerk the rpm drops to 0 and won't allow you to accelerate, shut the car off turn back on its fine then randomly happens again. This is still happening. 3. About a month agowhile sitting idle in traffic the car stalled, turned the ignition off then back on and it started back up 4. Yesterday i put the car in drive it does not engage right away and when it does it jerks. Now the engine light is on. I have had my car to the dealer regarding the issues and every time they say they can't diagnose it because the engine light went out and that they test drove it and nothing was wrong. This vehicle is dangerous to myself and others to drive and i'm about to contact the better business bureau if this does not get resolved. There is a recall out on the year make and model of my vehicle but not on my "specific" motor. Well in telling you there's a problem and i've read about other kia's having the same issue.
