Description of the problem	We own the car, 2011 kia sportage sx t-gdi, for less than 3 months and i had to take it to the dealership pretty much every other week with some issues. Last problem we had was an accelerator/speed control when the car wasn't shifting or accelerating over 25-30 mph even the rpm were up to 6-7x1000, and i was able to floor the pedal and keep it there, was no speed response. The only fix was pull over and shut off the engine, but even after that it could take several times to do the same procedure. I finally got an appointment to the dealership on tuesday morning 11nov14, pick it up thursday afternoon 13nov14, they said i had a bad battery that might cause the problem. So i end up paying for a new battery and replacing it, and at the same time the dealers replaced a brake lamp switch, and i was told everything works great. Next morning on friday, same issue with the speed control, vehicle is driving unusual and on top of that the check engine light came on. Called the dealers immediately they said if the light is not flashing its safe to drive and there are no appointments available until monday 17nov14. Sunday driving around the car had the same problems all day long and that evening coming home after filled up the tank, at about 25mph speed control was giving me a hard time and shifting at a very delayed times or not shifting at all, approaching an intersection tried to stop and the brake seized first couple times, accelerating instead of stopping, and when already entering the intersection being slippery i was able to do a slightly left sliding on the wet road after brakes finally engaged but was to late to avoid the collision with another car which had the right of way. Same problem, check engine light on, car not working properly, the dealer's service said its good to go! Safe and drive-able.
