Description of the problem	I was stopped in the left turn lane waiting for traffic to pass so that i could pull into a shopping center parking lot when suddenly everything shut off. I had first noticed the radio had shut off and then i realized that the entire engine had shut down as i could not move the vehicle. After putting the vehicle in park and turning the ignition off and the restarting it, i was able to resume driving. As this was the day before thanksgiving, i was not able to take the car to the dealership until the saturday after thanksgiving. Similar to others here who have made complaints, the automotive technicians at the dealership were not able to find anything wrong with the car even after test driving it and having it connected to the computer. The problem has not occurred since taking it to the dealership. I thought that maybe this was just a fluke thing until i read all of the complaints here. Kia really needs to find out what the issue is with these vehicles before someone gets seriously injured or killed.
