Description of the problem	While driving my kia hybrid a notice came up on the dash board to immediately pull over and shut off my engine and i was on a major highway going about 75 when i lost total power and my vehicle began to loose power. I was able to get it off the road and immediately called my dealer. I had know about this because a relative and i brought the cars the same day and she experience this 3 times. The dealer said it was a switch that got stuck when the car goes from electric to gas. I spoke with kia and they said there is no formal recall. But this has now happen to me and a relative i know of. The person i spoke with took it very lightly but i said it is very difficult getting a car off the road that is losing power. Have there been any other complaints of this type and is there a informal recall. I am bringing the car to the dealer tomorrow and they are replacing the switch. My car only has 2000 miles.
