| Description of the problem | I have a 2016 kia sorento that stalls at low speed. It's like you turn the switch off, and then after a few seconds, it surges forward. It has done it while entering traffic, and almost caused an accident. I have taken it to the dealer several times, and they say they can't do anything because it does not throw a code. There was a recall on the 2016 models for a faulty accelerator module, but my vin was not included in it. |
