Description of the problem	I was driving my new kia sorento on a two lane road. While driving in a passing zone going 50-55 mph, i attempted to pass a truck. My right hand bumped the gear shift to the left (at that time i had no idea that by slightly bumping the gear shift the vehicle went from automatic to manual... There is also a boot over the gear shift that prevents visual confirmation that the vehicle is in a different mode ). While attempting to pass the truck, my vehicle would not accelerate past 55-60 for approximately 11 seconds. I narrowly missed a head on collision with another vehicle. After understanding that the gear shift was bumped into a manual position, i have tried changing my vehicle from automatic to manual at many different speeds then attempting to accelerate. Sometimes the vehicle will accelerate and other times acceleration won't occur for 11 seconds. I have tried similar maneuvers in cadillac suvs, volvo suvs, and a subaru suv and there was no acceleration delay regardless of speed. I feel this is a setup for a deadly situation.
