2010 KIA RIO Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1339227
Internal NHTSA #	10930298
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA
Model	RIO
Model Year	2010
File date	01/11/16
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When driving, the car stalls for no reason (there is fuel in the car, has regular oil changes, and a brand new battery). It takes a couple minutes before the car will restart. While on the highway, the engine light will come on and then turn right off, but the rpm gauge stops working even though i am still driving. There is a jerking motion when that happens. This happens on city streets and on the highway. It is becoming unsafe and the dealership cannot replicate the situation. All they do is run the code but nothing comes up. This has been happening since the beginning of november 2016 and has happened every day since then. This is a safety issue because the car could stall anytime while driving and i could be seriously hurt and other drivers could get hurt.
