Description of the problem	While driving on light, new snow my car had suddenly skidded slightly, no over-correcting, i simply got the car back in control when the car suddenly shot forward, steering wheel seized and started racing down the opposite side of the street into the embankment! I had pulled the car to the left and had the brakes pushed all the way down (and both feet including all my weight on them) until my car crashed completely into a tree! The tires were still spinning when the car stopped and my feet were on the brakes! It was also hard to get the car out of drive and into park --- when i was able to push the car into park i quickly took the keys out. The 2011 kia sorento and sudden acceleration seems to be a problem and should seriously be looked into. Yes, i was injured and thankfully a tree stopped the vehicle and no one else was hurt!

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
