Description of the problem	Driving on the freeway in slow traffic. Suddenly the engine died with no warning. I had to stop in the middle of the freeway to attempt to restart the car. It did not immediately start, but after a few moments the engine kicked over. I drove it off the freeway and had it towed the next day to the dealer. After having the car for a week the dealer says that they "can't duplicate the problem" so they won't fix it. They say there is no "code" for the problem. This is not a safe car to drive if the engine dies on the freeway. If kia can't determine the problem they need to recall this car.
