general problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Sportage

The car accelerated of its own accord, I had been driving 30-35 miles an hour when it accelerated suddenly and caused me to wreck.

I was driving with my cruise control set at 70 mph, on highway 95 ( the speed limit ) while driving my vehicle suddenly dropped to 40 mph, all dashboard lights began to flash. I had problems with the steering as I attempted to pull over. I had a tractor trailer behind me on a major highway. When I came to a complete stop, my engine light kept flashing. I drove my car to the kia dealership in GA, where they determined my engine failed ( software issues ) there were no prior warnings. My vehicle had been serviced just a few weeks prior. Kia is fully aware of these ongoing engine failures according to my local kia dealer rep.

The engine of the car just died on me when I was turning right at the intersection. Unknown cause why the engine just died on me. I tried starting it, and it would start and die again. If I start the car and step on the gas, the engine does not die but once I release from the gas, the engine dies and I smell a strong gas odor.

I was entering a parking space on points of rock road in brewster, a quiet street near the beach and the car proceeded up an embankment,did not respond to braking and proceeded to roll over onto the roof of the car abd did not shut off until I pushed the button to turn off the car several times.

Takata recall when pulling out into traffic the gas petal sometimes doesn't work. This is a very unsafe condition, because of on coming traffic.
