CAR CONTINUALLY STALLS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUALLY COMES OFF AND ON, WHEN CONTINUALLY STALLS AT IDLE SPEED AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ENGINE EXPERIENCES TROUBLE CONTINUOUSLY WHEN IT SURGES AND JERKS. IT HAS BEEN A REAL HAZARD TO MY HEALTH AND ALMOST PUT ME IN ACCIDENTS MANY TIMES WHILE STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND INTERSECTIONS. ALMOST KILLED MYSELF AND MY FAMILY SEVERAL DIFFERENT TIMES WITH THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE VEHICLE.IT HAS HAD SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH IT SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO LIST ALL OF THEM. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM! EVEN WHEN IT GETS TOWED IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT WON'T RUN! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INNOCENTLY KILLED DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING KIA SPORTAGE VEHICLES.
