Description of the problem	While finding a parking spot my vehicle lost power and suddenly quit. After restarting it, i found a parking spot and just before the vehicle was put in park, it stalled again. Apon leaving to go home, a 10 mile trip,each time i came to a stop the vehicle stalled on me an additional 5 times. This is not the first intance of this problem. We have had this vehicle in the shop previously four other times. Each time saying that it was due to a loose air intake valve. I actually almost have panic attacks now when coming to a stop on a busy intersection for fear my vehicle is going to stall and i am going to be involved in an accident. I will be taking the vehicle into kia, yet again, tomorrow to have this problem repaired.
