Description of the problem	Car began randomly not starting. New battery installed in november 2016. Repeated issue 6 days later and again 6 days after that. Remembering back to first time i pushed the start button twice, put foot on brake and put car in reverse and back into park. Car started. First time on a relatively steep driveway. All other times on flat ground. All incidences in a driveway/garage. Took to southwest kia round rock (texas) where it was not able to be duplicated. Replaced brake switch since diagnostics was showing a history. Also fixed a recall item (rear wheel speed sensor) which i never received a recall letter for. Took car home and that evening it would not start. Performed the work around and it started. It has been with the dealer 7 days now and they have been unable to replicate it. Claimed they opened a tech line but when i called kia consumer affairs to open my own file case i was told they show no record of a tech line being opened. My consumer affairs case number is 12421090. I have now emailed the gm, service manager and the service advisor after having no communication from them at all for the last week. I am concerned it will fail while driving and fear the safety issue this could cause - being hit by another car, etc. The car is still under warranty. It has 40k miles on it and i've owned it for 3 yr and 8 mo.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
