2008 Kia Sorrento

Strengths:
Nice design.

Weaknesses:
Loses power suddenly, making for an extremely dangerous driving situation, putting life and limb at risk. Back seat noise noted like loose bolts.

Summary:
When I first drove the KIA Sorrento I loved it. No problems, easy to handle. Within 5 weeks the car had episodes of completely losing power 4-5 times. One episode occured while I was on a narrow bridge, another while I was trying to get through a red light. You are driving along and the vehicle starts slowing down. No power. Push on the gas pedal no response. After the car sits for a 5-10 minutes it will regain power after being started, but this last time the vehicle only went a few feet before losing power again. This was just one time. This car while very lovely to look at, is extremely dangerous. Been in the shop several times with no resolution. The Mechanic has driven the car in an effort to help us but the problem can't be replicated. The Kia computer diagnostic system says nothing is wrong with the car. I'll remember that when I'm stuck on the road the next time. I wouldn't recommend this vehicle to anyone. Any vehicle with this problem is a danger to the owner and the populaton at large. Perhaps the 2008 Kia Sorrento Model needs to be recalled?
