| 2011 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL THE VEHICLE STARTS TO COME TO A STOP AS IF THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT BEING APPLIED. I HAVE TO RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESS IT AGAIN FOR THE SORENTO TO RESPOND AND CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND RELEASED THE VEHICLE TO ME BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. *KB |
