Description of the problem	I took my 2016 kia sorento in 2mos (3/16) after i purchased for acceleration issues. The first time it was lunging when accelerating and the rpm's would go to 5-6 then drop to 0, then stabilize at 2. Kia did some re-computer program to address issue. It is still not resolved but was not as bad after the re-programing. Well, now it is really bad so took it back (4/17) because it stalls on acceleration. I was trying to enter a highway, accelerated kia stalled again rpm's up to 5-6 down to 0, but had to quickly move to shoulder or semi-truck would have hit me. Once i stopped and started again, it accelerated. Yesterday, 4/5/17, driving to work in rush hour traffic on nj e. I-78, was in middle lane merged to left lane to pass (60 mph), accelerated kia stalled (rpms up then down), i had to brake to indicate to car behind me or i would have been in a horrific crash because this roadway carries a massive amount of semi's. I was scared for my life and my heart was racing!! I was able to move back to center lane where i remained. The kia kept having the acceleration issue all the way to work and on the way home so i took it to the kia dealer. I don't know if they can replicate the issue but i am not driving this vehicle until it is resolved. I see on line there are numerous others with this same issue and no recall??!! I guess someone has to die first. Nhtsa you need to do something before someone losses their life. This is not some small problem. Kia certainly is not interested in being pro-active. The service and sales people said "we have never heard of this issue" my reply "you better look on line at consumer complaints". Of course they wanted to usher me out of the showroom to a "quiet table" so other prospective buyers won't hear. Word of mouth my friends, word of mouth. Sad a sale means more to kia then a life!!

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?
