Description of the problem	My 2005 kia sorento cut off while i was driving, throwing me into a spin and leaving me facing the wrong way into oncoming traffic. Could have killed me and my kids. Had it towed to dealership. They jump started it and said they couldn't duplicate the problem. They did nothing. It subsequently cut off in traffic 3 more times. Called the dealership, they said it wasn't a warranty issue (this was the month of the warranty expiration but it hadn't expired yet) and since they couldn't duplicate the problem there was nothing to fix. Kia is parked and i won't drive it. They don't honor their warranty and know about this defect and won't try to fix it during warranty period.
