Description of the problem	My kia sorento suddenly began dying as i was driving. When it happened, i did not have control of my steering wheel or my brakes. I was fortunate that each time it has happened i have been in a situation where i could pull over to the side of the road. Once i pulled over, put it in neutral or park and it started back up without difficulty. There were no engine lights of any type. I took the car to the kia dealership in lubbock, tx (gene messer kia). They were unable to discover any problems with my car. They drove it and could not duplicate the problem, they scanned for codes, nothing showed up. I was without my car for two full days. I left the dealership with an invoice for $143. 00 for cleaning of the throttle and a list of things that need to be repaired soon. The incident happens once or twice a week. My fear is that this is going to happen and i am going to either kill another driver or myself or have a crash into another object. This is very dangerous. Now, the following has nothing to do with the kia, itself, however, i just lost my husband, moved to lubbock a few months ago, i do not know people here. I am in the middle of job hunting so i never know when i am going to be called for an interview. If i leave my car with gene messer kia, i am totally without any transportation. I am alone, and need to get this problem taken care of as soon as possible. The dealership tells me they do not let customers have loner cars so my life is just "on hold". I am not in a financial situation to pay out a lot of money. I'm barely making it now until i find a job. I am asking someone to please help me with this situation.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
