Description of the problem	On the morning of november 13, 2018, myself, my daughter and son n law went to leave her home and my kia sorento didnt want to start, when it finally did start we were about 45 minutes into our travel and pulled off at a rest area, shut the car off, and there was this awful burning smell, kinda smelled like rubber to us. We let car cool off and began our travelling. There had been several previous times before this date that my kia had not wanted to start and the lights and gauges would flash on and off. I have owned this vehicle going on 3 years now, and have had the struts literally break on me, the emergency brake part replaced twice now, the day i bought the car antifreeze was leaking out of it and i never got to drive it off the lot the day i bought it. There has been multiple issues but car dealership tells me the car is fine. 'the burning smell is the complaint i am worried about"
