| Description of the problem | My 2015 sorento (original owner) just flat out died while driving in the left passing lane on interstate 85n from the airport in atlanta (in the pouring rain 6/8/2019) and without any warning. Not only did it just stop running "everything died" no lights, no hazards; no power windows etc. It would not even acknowledge the key fob. The suv was completely dead. I was so lucky to not have been hit by another vehicle. Once the hero truck pushed me across 8 lanes to safety; i had to have my suv towed to the dealer. The diagnosis: |
