Description of the problem	When driving at high altitudes, the car seems to want to stall. We will be driving along just fine and then there is hesitation for a moment and then the car will be going along just fine again and the hesitation happens again. This is continuous throughout our entire high altitude drives. Usually occurs at approximately 8000-10,000 ft in elevation. Seems to occur more often at 40 miles per hour. I am scared we will have complete failure of the car in the mountains and have no cell phone service in order to call someone for help. We have only had this car for about 6 weeks and have taken 4 high altitude drives and this happens everytime. Took the car to the dealership and they told us this is a known issue and kia is working on it. How long will it take kia to resolve this issue? I don't want stall somewhere and create a hazardous condition for myself, passengers, and others surrounding me. Please see kia gets this taken care of as soon as possible for everyone's safety.
