Description of the problem	When i started the vehicle to start my ride home after christmas, i noticed a ticking sound that was not there before. While driving down interstate 94 east as i was trying to accelerate, i was decelerating instead. Luckily i was near an off ramp and pulled off. At the top of the ramp my vehicle died. I restarted the vehicle and got directions to a really nearby ford dealership in baldwin wi. Nicest people helped me there. They determined that the engine was dying,. I had it towed to luther kia in bloomongton mg. There it was confirmed that i needed a new engine. At 149,000 miles i was surprised. There was nothing that gave me indicstion that there was a problem. No lights on the dash or anything except for the ticking an hour before. Kia was contacted and denied any claim or responsibility. On further checking i found that i was not alone in the engine trouble. The 2013 kia shortage has had many other incidents and complaints about the engine. Many of the stories we exactly like mine. People driving down a highway and the engine died. People could have been killed. 2013 kia shortage owners should be made aware of this problem. Shame in kia for not stepping up and taking responsibility, debra. Wisconsin
