Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: While finding a parking spot my vehicle lost power and suddenly quit. after restarting it, i found a parking spot and just before the vehicle was put in park, it stalled again. apon leaving to go home, a 10 mile trip,each time i came to a stop the vehicle stalled on me an additional 5 times. this is not the first intance of this problem. we have had this vehicle in the shop previously four other times. each time saying that it was due to a loose air intake valve. i actually almost have panic attacks now when coming to a stop on a busy intersection for fear my vehicle is going to stall and i am going to be involved in an accident. i will be taking the vehicle into kia, yet again, tomorrow to have this problem repaired.
