Description of the problem	Our 2010 kia forte ex lost 90% of power repeatedly (rpms drop to idle, regardless of throttle position) at speeds from 0-35mph. This is not the first occurrence, but i think it is the same problem. This is very dangerous if you are making a left turn and you lose acceleration, you can be in the way of oncoming traffic by losing power. About 2 years ago (25,000 miles or so) the tps (throttle position sensor) went out. Kia could not diagnose it until it threw a code (lame). Now we get the same issue, the vehicle is stalling, or "stumbling" when the speed should be constant or accelerating, but there is no engine code for the code reader to pickup yet, so the mechanics can't figure out what to do. Apparently this is a problem on many models of kia/hyundai and the mechanics don't recognize it so they can't fix it, and you are stuck with a dangerous condition. I think there should be a recall of these faulty tps sensors. Kia/hyundai should at least issue a safety tsb (technical service bulletin) to clue in their mechanics as to what the problem is. Here's a great article showing the problem: http://www. Kia-forums. Com/kia-carnival-sedona-2006/80251-tps-sensor-symptoms-tps-failure-cel. Html thanks for your attention to this matter.
