Description of the problem	We bought the 2013 kia sorento in september 2012 with 140miles on it. We've had no issues till this year my wife had her 1st stall in mid january while at a stop sign. She never mentioned it to me until it happened a second time in february. It finally happened to me during the second week in march on a saturday i was bringing my son to baseball practice i pulled out of my driveway drove to the end of the street and stopped at the corner but when i pressed on the gas the car didn't move. It took me a few seconds till i noticed it had stalled it was so quick and silent i didn't hear or feel it stall. I put it in park then started it and it's been fine till today when my wife went to pick up our kids from school. She was driving slowly on the side streets next to the school looking for a parking space when it just died. This is extremely dangerous if this happens and causes an accident or even a fatality kia will have a serious law suit on their hands. I'm bringing my kia to the dealer on april 18, 2013 but when i spoke to the service guy on the phone today he mentioned if there are no codes there's not much to go on to determine a problem.
