| Description of the problem | Bought my kia on 6/17/2016 and today 3 days later i am driving the car and it starts powering down while i am at 70mph. Scary to say the least. There is also a jerking forward movement that i get, but today was the scariest, the car actually stopped with no power while driving. I had to pull aside and restart the car. What the hell is this. M daughter could have been in the car. This is crazy a 2013 car shutting down in the middle on the road. Totally unacceptable. |
