 Description of the problemThis is my 4th time having to call a tow truck for my vehicle. I was reversing out of a parking space, and tried to put car in drive , car would not do anything. I tried again to put car in drive, would not budge. Could not take key out of ignition, could not move steering wheel. Later on tried to take keys out of ignition, it let me ,but would not start still. Had it towed to dealership, did not find anything but a dead battery. I bought a new battery. Picked car up. Drove to store about 10 miles from home, same thing happened again. Had it towed again. Same conclusion . Did not find anything again. Drove car home. I may drive my car once a week. The next time i drove my car again it stopped on me in the middle of traffic , with no warning , the car just shut down. Someone stopped and pushed me out the middle of street. Thank god. Had it towed again to kia dealership . Needless to say, they found nothing but a dead battery. Battery was less than 3 months old. Bought from kia. Made it home safely. 3 days later started car, turned on air, waited until cool inside . Car cut off even before leaving driveway. Could not believe it. This time it started right back up, to no avail, cut off again.
