This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Our 2006 Kia Amanti occasionally will, when starting from a stopped position, will initially hesitate as if its going to stall..., then lunge/accelerate quickly forward. I've mentioned it to the dealers, but because it doesn't happen often, I've never really pressed them on this.., but after reading the same complaint at this site, I wanted to document we also have experienced this. It probably occurs approx once every month, over the past couple years. It is potentially a dangerous condition, as the car could jump forward and hit pedestrians crossing in front of the car, or rear end cars near the front of the vehicle.
