Description of the problem	Approximately 2 years ago, the esc light would come on and the vehicle had no acceleration and pulling out into oncoming traffic would be very scary to say the least. It would be very sluggish and no acceleration and oncoming traffic would come up on you before you could get it going. I carried it to the kia dealership where it was purchased and they said it was a faulty accelerator and replaced it at a cost of 350 dollars. It has started doing it again. This is very dangerous and i am afraid to drive it and don't have 350 dollars to try and fix it again. This is a serious problem that i have found tons of complaints with this. Something needs to be done and it should not be at the cost of the consumer for a faulty product.
