Description of the problem	I had just purchased the vehicle about 2 weeks ago. It was used but only had 29875 miles. As i was driving on the road preparing to stop at a light the engine shut off and the check engine lights turned on. I lost power steering, luckily i was next to a burger king and was able to coast into the parking lot. As soon as i stopped i put the vehicle into park and was able to start it up again. I had brought it into the dealership and they kept it for the day, but told me that they could not duplicate the problem and the diagnostic revealed there was no issue. I thought that it might have been just a rare occurrence, but a week later the same thing happened again. Both times my 4 month old son was in the vehicle. I have brought it back to the dealership and told them to keep it as long as they need to fix the problem. I don't want it back until it is fixed. I hope kia does the right thing and recalls the vehicle before someone gets seriously injured.
