Description of the problem | I was driving down the road when my car stalled out without warning and would not start again had to have my car towed to shop where they said my engine has enternal engine problems. My car never showed any signs of needing an oil change i recently changed it. I strongly believe this falls under the recall . This was a very scary situation as it was me and my infant daughter in the car we almost got hit from behind and had to wait on the side of the road for 1 hour for a tow truck in 100 degree weather not a proud kia owner. |
