| Description of the problem | I was driving my 2017 kia sorento on the interstate in stop and go traffic. While stopped, the engine started shaking and car lost power. I was able to pull over to the shoulder. I had the vehicle towed to the repair shop. I was told that my wiring harness had melted together and needed to be replaced. This may have lead to a fire if not caught in time. |
