Description of the problem	While driving home from a weekend vacation, with roughly 130 miles remaining of the trip, running at 70-80 mph on expressway, the car lost rpm, stalled, and would not accelerate. This happened at roughly 2:15pm. I had to pull over to the side of the road, crossing over 2 lanes of expressway traffic, while coasting, with my wife a 3yr old child in his car seat. I turned the car off and restarted the car in which rpm's were back and car was running. We stopped at my wife's parents and looked up engine stalling issues on the 2013 kia sorento. I was shocked at what i saw. There are multiple entries, with individuals with the exact same issue. In reviewing their claims, it appears that mechanics are having issues identifying and fixing the problem. Are our way back from parents, this happened again at 4:45pm, and a third time at 5:06pm. We stayed in the furthest right lane and safely pulled off. The check engine light is on. Since it is sunday, and the dealer isn't open, the car will be brought to the dealership first thing in the morning tomorrow. This car was just brought to the kia dealership last week to have front suspension work done, due to jerking and clicking effects, for no accident reason, nor any reason at all, as well as a faulty volume control on the steering wheel. Very disappointed in kia and this vehicle, and we will be taking action to have this situation rectified.
