Car won't start sometimes, unless you tap the fuse box under the steering column, then it starts. There seems to be an intermittent electrical connection somewhere. This is a safety hazard if you stall in traffic and can't get the car started. The problem is also reported by other owners on the internet. Please require kia to do a safety recall to fix this problem before someone gets hit and killed. This problem has happened many times. Thank you.
