Description of the problem	The car was running fine until after a few hours of driving it just stopped running. This is the second time this has occurred. The engine rpm dropped to zero and the car coasted. After sitting for less than an hour the car started up again. I took it to the kia dealer and they said, even though the car had less than 60,000 miles, they would have to diagnose the problem and charge us $200 to do so, and the electronic parts were not covered.
