WHEN STARTING VEHICLE, IT RUNS ROUGH AND ALMOST STALLS. WHEN DRIVING VEHICLE, IT HESITATES AND BUCKS, HAS TOTAL LOSS OF POWER IN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT DOES HAPPEN FREQUENTLY. HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CANNOT LOCATE PROBLEM. CAR HAS LOST POWER SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ENTERING TRAFFIC CAUSING A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. *AK

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FROM THE DAY THAT I PURCHASED IT, ENGINE FAILED AND IT WAS IN SHOP FOR TWO MONTHS, TRANSMISSION FAILED, THE REAR END FAILED, THE FUEL ECONOMY SWITCH FAILED, THEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN, AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED THREE TIMES SINCE JULY, 2000. I HAVE HAD TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS ON THE INTERSTATE DUE TO THESE MECHANICAL FAILURES. I HAVE TRIED FOR OVER TWO YEARS TO CONTACT A KIA REPRESENATIVE BUT THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINTS . THE DEALER IS NO HELP, THEY ONLY GIVE YOU THE DELAY GAME. I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NO GOOD, IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND A DANGER TO PUT ON THE ROAD. IT CONTINUALLY HAS PROBLEMS AND I AM HAVING TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON IT.PLEASE HELP
