1999 Kia Sportage Cruise Control Problems

GAS PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN, VEHICLE DOESN'T GO ANYWHERE. DEALER HAS INSPECTED VEHICLE FOR THE LAST PAST TWO YEARS ;REPLACED A NUMBER OF PARTS, AND STILL PROBLEM OCCURS *AK

WHENEVER THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED TO MOVE FORWARD, IT WOULD SOMETIMES CUT OFF/STALL OUT. THIS WOULD HAPPEN AFTER DRIVING FOR A WHILE. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. *AK

1 MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, IT BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AND THEN IT STALLED. MECHANIC CLAIMED CHEAP GAS WAS THE CAUSE. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. ON 08-22 VEHICLE ACCELERATED THROUGH TOLL PLAZA AND I HAD A HARD TIME STOPPING VEHICLE, ONCE VEHICLE STOPPED IT STALLED AND AN INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. TOWED TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. 2 DAYS LATER VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, AND THE SAME INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. DEALER CONTACTED AND CLAIMS PROBLEM WITH PRESSURE FROM GAS CAP. THE EXPLANATION PROVIDED SEEMS RIDICULOUS BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. PROBLEM WITH ACCELLERATION CONTINUES AND I HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANY REASONABLE INFORMATION AS TO WHY. I TRULY DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALL USINGF THE SAME GAS. I DON'T THINK THAT THE RECALL WORK FOR RECALL 99V325000 WAS PERFORMED EVEN THOUGH I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE WORK AND THAT THIS IS WHY THE ACCELLERATION PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I NOTICED IN THE LISTING OF COMPLAINTS AT LEAST 7 CONSUMERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED MY PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS.

WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60MPH WHEN RPMS REVVED UP TO 6000 & VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED VEHICLE WOULD STOP. PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER & MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM.*AK
