Description of the problem	I bought 2 brand new kia's and one being a 2013 sorento in november 2012. Yesterday, on the fwy during rush hour i was in the fast lane when my emission light went on and i was losing speed (going up hill). Luckily i was able to make it to the shoulder. I turned the car off, sat for a few and started the car. I was able to drive off the fwy and pull over. I was able to use the navigation system to find a local kia dealer that was 2 miles away. It was discovered that they needed to replace my throttle and was told that this shouldn't happen till after the car is over 100k. I'm very grateful that the mechanic stayed to fix my car as it was 4:45p and they leave at 5p and i was still 40 miles from home. This is the only issue i've had with my car other than either my key fob not working properly or the rear trunk door has a malfunction; i'm unable to use the key fob to electronically open the rear door. It has never worked since purchasing the vehicle, i just haven't had the time to drop the car off and be without a vehicle for the day on something that is minor.
