Description of the problem	I purchased this car pre owned. About 2 week later, while driving the esc light shows up causing the car to slowly lose power. This is very dangerous. I almost got hit when this happened!! After 3-4 times later, kia dealership cannot repair the issue or even solve it. They actually told me yesterday that the car was ready, however it was not fixed bc they cant figure it out. They tried everything. I did pick up the car only to bring it right back this morning. I am scared for my safety as well as my children. I looked online and their are so many others with this same issue. This is insane. I am now in a rental as they are trying again for time #5 to figure it out. I have spoken to kia corporate. I have filed complaints with the bbb. And now i am here. If anyone cares about others safety this needs to be recalled. I refuse to put my children's life at risk. Imagine driving on the highway and all of a sudden this light turning on randomly and your car just losing power. Very unsafe!!
