Why does 2005 Kia Sorento die while driving
If it is a diesel vehicle check the pressure of the diesel pump. It would appear that the diesel pump on this model wears out and it loses pressure. If the pressure is ok there is switch/filter on the common rail that might be blocked. Unfortunately it appears that this switch can not be cleaned but must be replaced. hope this helps.
Why does 2005 Kia Sorento die randomly
I was on vacation in S.C. and engine would die every 20 mins. or so, I took it too dealer and they could find nothing wrong except a bad plug wire periodically wouldn't fire. I said replace it and 3 years later problem is still fixed. Must have caused a glitch with computer.

HEATING ISSUES
One way to tell a bad thermostat in a car is if the car overheats frequently even if there is water in the radiator.Stuck open - no heat from heater, temp gauge hardly moves off of cold.
Stuck closed - overheats engine, temp gauge quickly climbs to hot.listen for any rubbing, grinding, or whining noises from the pump. look under water pump while running, if pump is going bad. water will come out of weep hole on the bottom of the pump. good-day!

Job best left to the trained professional with the proper
equipment.

Missing underload through gears
missing can also be from low fuel pressure as there is not enough pressure to operate the injectors properly. Under load is when max fuel is required so I would suggest a fuel pressure test to check pump,regulator and filter performance. Run fault codes to check for canister venting problems as there may be a vacuum in the system that is not allowing sufficient fuel through when it is required
