Description of the problem	We bought the vehicle new from kia dealer with 8000 mile in march 2013 and we did all the maintenance as prescribed . V6 3. 6l 4x4 after 14 months while driving approximately at 20 - 25 mph, the vehicle suddenly would not accelerate. After turning the vehicle off and restarting the engine the vehicle operated as normal. This happened 2 times in 4 days in same circumstances. The mil came on friday 20 june and stay on until saturday 21 june. It happened again on sunday 22 june at almost the same speed. We take it at one close shop and they read the codes p2110; p2106; p0638 which are power train related and throttle actuator control range /performance. They didnt erase the codes. I dont know the reason but on monday 23 june the mil went off again. The car is functioning normal now but i dont know what to do i wonder if the codes are stored in the ecm. This seem to be verry dangerous it can happen anywhere and anytime and i wonder why kia didn't make a recall cause i see a lot a complaints as mine. I will take it to the dealer and keep you informed, i hope they will fix it under waranty. Anyway this will be my last kia!!!
