Description of the problem	Dear nhtsa, i have a 2006 kia sportage with 69,245 miles and have been in the dealer on 12/4/14, 12/8/2014, 12/13/14, for engine shutting off while braking to enter another lane or to turn. Engine shut off again while braking to turn at 9:00pm on 12/16/14. Engine light have come on at least 6-8 times before at which each time i went into the service dealer on 12/3/14, 12/8/14 and 12/10/14. Sometimes if it was during the day i took the kia directly to the dealer. However i noticed while researching that this is an electrical issue with a faulty throttle system. In addition kia wants to charge me $248 to replace a throttle. From the reviews issued online this is a safety related defect that kia manufacturer is aware. According to safecar. Gov the consumer should not have to pay for a faulty throttle (e. G. Or faulty parts) and should be replaced by the service dealer. Finally cobb county service (customer # [xxx]) suggested repair invoice stated that after replacing tps need more diagnosis time with vehicle in order to find out issue? I should have to pay for a safety related defects (e. G. 267 or more complaints online not to mention the safety defects of the 2006 sportage engine shutting off), especially to pay for a part that will not guarantee that the engine will not cut off. I also filed an inquiry with kia on today 12/16/2014, customer identification reference number (#[xxx]). I am awaiting a call from kia about this inquiry. I also believe that this is a safety related defect and the cost of repairs should be remedied at no cost to me. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
