Car Stall problems of the 2004 Kia Motor Amanti

Tl- the contact owned a 2004 kia Amanti. The contact stated while stopped at a stop light, the vehicle stalled. The contact then stated that the steering wheel locked up so the contact pulled off to the side of the road. The contact restarted the vehicle and was able to continue to drive the vehicle but the brakes would not engaged as the brake pedal was depressed. The contact then stated that the vehicle independently accelerated while the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the vehicle drove into an intersection and got hit on the driver side. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained a bruised neck, bruised arms, and a concussion. The contact received medical attention as the hospital had to remove glass from her hands. The vehicle was not drivable and was towed to their home address. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired as of yet. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,006. Rd.

I bought a brand new 2004 kia Amanti. As I approached 30,000 miles the engine would periodically lose power while in operation, then restore seconds later. I reported the incident to my dealer. I ws told they would reset the fuel injection system, and that would resolve the issue. Since then the issue has surfaced (3) times. Two of the three times almost lead to a serious crash. During these precious few seconds (3-5) there was absolutley no engine power available. I notice it it seemed to occur when removing the foot from the gas pedal, then reapplying it to gain power. At this point the engine just dropped off. It will restore and race to high rpm seconds later. It has gotten to the point where I was afraid of driving the vehicle. It was a crap shoot everytime you needed to make a left turn across on coming traffic whether or not my car will lose power. It was not a stall, needed to restart the vehicle afterwards. The vehicle recovered on its own.
