| Description of the problem | This happened twice in 10 days. Once while driving and once in parking mode with vehicle on - suddenly the vehicle loses power, cannot accelerate, power steering is lost, and 3 panel lights turn on simultaneously: battery, oil, check engine. Both times by turning off and restarting engine i have been able to continue driving, power is restored and panel lights turn off. Have taken both times to kia service southside/jacksonville fl and they have not been able to identify the cause, therefore unable to fix a potentially very dangerous and life-threatening situation if this continues to happen, especially while driving. Extremely concerned! |
