Description of the problem	I was driving to work on a 2 lane road with people behind me. My car made a sound like a rock rolling around in an empty water bottle then all the dashboard lights turned on and the engine died. Luckily i was able to pull over with a great deal of strength applied to the steering wheel. I called kia immediately and they had it towed to a dealership within the hour. The dealership is now claiming i had a coolant leak which caused the car to overheat but i had no indications prior that the car was overheating. They said this is probably not covered by warranty since its a leak and it should have been discovered earlier.
