Description of the problem | On 10/24/17, while driving on cr 46 in sorrento heading home at 1800 hrs, my 2014 kia optima lx completely shut down at 55 mph for no reason. Lost power. I was able to put emergency flashers immediately and pull to the side reducing speed and completely stop the car. After that, was able to restart the car. Waited a few minutes after inspection in the engine compartment. No indication nor any visible signs of trouble. Was able to continue my drive at a much lower speed and flashers on as a precaution. |
