Description of the problem	Driving on the highway my car lost power at 11pm on a saturday nite. It would only go aporox 40mph w the the gas petal to the floor. No check lights came on until aporox a few min from home. Only the check engine light. No overheating no smoke. I took it to my mechanic who determined it was the same issue the 2. 4 engine that was recalled. I have the 3. 3. Also the kia mechanic said the same. Only 70000 miles on the car. Kia at this point is refusing to acknowledge this is a manufacturing issue. They have had my car for 3 weeks and as of yesterday still no answer. I even left a voice mail for sean yoon the ceo. I tried to call mr yoon yesterday but got redirected to thir consumer dept. They said it takes 2-3 days to determine a decision. So im paying for a car and a rental when they already know what the issue is. One consumer dept employee i spoke w said she hasnt had very many complaints about the 3. 3. Well that right there is a red flag! I just want them to do the right thing. They also tried to tell me that because im the second owner and i was past the 60000 mi service warrenty i had no coverage and the 100000 was only for first owner. Its a manufacturers defect not anything we did. We have been loyal kia customers for over 10 years. I feel like because we didnt buy another new kia we are being punished. This cars defect could of seriously injured a lot of people if this would of happened during a busy time of day. I know they are busy taking care of other complaints but to wait 3 weeks is a bit unnerving.
