This is the 2nd time for the same issue (mileage 17900) -previous issue was July 2012. Driving down the interstate-car suddenly looses power down to idle only speed. Fortunately, then & today no tractor trailers ran over top of the car. Could mange to get to the side of the road and out of the way. Kia is obviously not fixing this position sensor/computer problem. Driving the car in limp mode to a garage is extremely dangerous as must get up to 25mph then use the cruise control-in traffic it is off & on.start & stop. Be forewarned you should force Kia to fix this problem before someone gets killed. I await your response. I see someone else has put in a complaint-I wonder how many others have experienced this problem and have not complained. (like my first experience).
