Description of the problem	On march 7th 2019, i was driving down the highway at approximately 60 miles an hour i felt a click, & my engine light my oil light and my battery light illuminated. My car did not shut off but gas was not able to flow into the engine therefore i was coasting down the highway. I was able to get off on to the exit ramp i pulled over to the side, then i was able to shut my car off. I then began to restart the car, & it did restart i proceeded to put it in drive move forward, but the three lights illuminated once again. This was in the middle of the intersection. I shut the car off again, then, proceeded to restart the car, it restarted and i was able to drive the rest of the way to work, which was a very short distance. Later that day i downloaded the uvo app it did a diagnostic test and found nothing wrong with the vehicle., this test was wrong, something went wrong & is wrong. According to past recalls, the engine has seized and similar reports have been made. I found this extremely scary because of the fact i was driving down the highway in medium traffic, my engine stopped the lights came on and i did not know what was going to happen. Luckily i was still able to move the steering wheel enough to get off on the exit ramp and to pull to the side. I recently bought this vehicle and i've only had it for 6 months. I have had the oil changed only at the dealership, and any other services have done by the dealer ship. I am afraid to drive the car because of what happened, and what i have read from the past experiences of kia optima owners this has happened to.
