Description of the problem	I was driving our 2004 kia sorento with my 3 young children in the car. Driving down a city street at 45 mph the car began to jerk as all the lights flashed on the dashboard. I lost all power, but i was able to cruise to park next to a curb, however the vehicle would not restart. I had it towed to my mechanic.
