| 2011 kia sorento; rental vehicle from national rental. cruising at 65 mph and car began to violently jerk causing partial loss of control. made popping sounds, and smoke came out rear of vehicle. car barely moved and had to be towed from scene. during incident, vehicle was very hard to keep under control and in designated traffic lane. national rental sent a tow truck and a replacement vehicle. this kia had 62 miles on it at time of failure. tow driver thought it was a transmission failure. this incident nearly caused me to totally loose control of vehicle and crash. i consider myself very lucky to get car stopped before having an accident. all i have is last digits of vin taken from rental paperwork. *tr | |||
