MY 2008 KIA SORENTO LX LOSES POWER & WILL NOT ACCELERATE TO 60MPH. I FEAR DRIVING MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS BY AN 18-WHEELER DIESEL DUE TO THE FACT THE POWER IS LOST UPON ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS. IN ADDITION TO THE LOSS OF POWER, THE CHECK ENGINE & ESC OFF LIGHTS STAY ILLUMINATED. LIKE MANY OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I HAVE TRIED TURNING MY ENGINE OFF & WAITING 10 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE ENGINE TO SEE IF THAT CLEARS THE STATUS OF THE LIGHTS BUT HAD LIMITED SUCCESS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AT LEAST 3 TIMES, WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, FOR RESOLUTION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ADVISED THAT CERTAIN SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL AS THE GAS PEDAL BUT YET EITHER HAS RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP EVEN WANTED TO CHARGE ME $2800 FOR ONE TRIP & $1800 ON THE NEXT. THIS WAS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE & CORPORATE WAS CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM THEM. THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE & ARE ANOTHER REASON FOR WHY I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF ME & MY PASSENGERS WHEN THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. *TR
