tienes que cambiar la pumpa de gasolina...(fuel pump) todavia lo puedes hacer por la garantia que vino con el carro.

you have to get your fuel pump changed. my pump was covered under the warranty 60k so go to the dealer.

Hola, claro mi idioma natal es español, porque dices que debo cambiar la bomba de gasolina, mi mecanico dice que si la bomba estuviera fallando seria una falla general y que daria problema en todo momento, aun asi caminando por la calle el carro no responderia o situaciones de este tipo, ya te ha pasado esto? o tenes referencias de alguien mas con este mismo problema? una pregunta adicional, si la bomba de gasolina tuviera el problema que me vas a decir, tendria tambien que ver con que el carro tenga un mal rendimiento en cuanto a km por galon?, este carro me hace 19-20 Km/galon, cuando segun he visto lo normal es 24-25 Km/gal.
Gracias de antemano por tu ayuda.

Have your battery checked and then your charging system. The only complaint I have with my 03 Sorento (bought new in 03) is that it goes through batteries. On my third one now. Can't find anything wrong with the charging system either -- may be caused by a slow leakdown/drain. None of my other Kias had this problem (00Spec/01Seph/03 Sedona)
