Description of the problem	After reading many of these complaints, they are the same as mine. My car has shut off while driving at least four times, the last time i had to have it towed to my regular mechanic. Since the check engine light did not stay on at first he was unable to determine what was wrong. Now that i see many other people have had the same problem i now know what i am up against. I guess kia is waiting for someone to be killed with them driving and can not pull over due to no power, then get hit from behind. Then and only then will they do a recall after someone loose their life, just because they want to keep quite. I now know what to tell my mechanic that is wrong. I will copy several of these complaints and take it to him. I will also call my local tv stations to report this as well, i refuse to sit around allow someone to be killed in order to save kia money. They can do a recall and fix this matter, but they don't want to. I will never buy another kia again and will tell others when the tv stations interview me i will be sure to let people know not to buy your cars at all until you face up to the fact that this is a dangerous matter.
