Description of the problem | I was driving my 2017 kia sorento about 30mph early today going about 30mph when all of a sudden i heard a loud clunk from the rear end and the engine, all lighting, electrical, power steering and brakes just shut off. I was able to coast to a stop put the car in park. I then restarted it and it was fine. The dealer could find nothing wrong with it. This is very dangerous. What happens if i am going 70 mph and the car shuts down like this. Since the dealer could not duplicate the event there is no solution. |
