Description of the problem | I was driving in a 2014 kia optima with an estimate 55,400 mile on it down i-285 east when engine suddenly lost power. I notice an odd clicking noise, check engine light came and stayed on, and rpm dropped. I safely merged over in 4 lines of traffic on shoulder and turned engine off. The car sputtered when i cracked it on the side of the road, the car sounded terrible, extremely rough idle and engine noise, then i immediately turned back off. I call roadside assist and had the car towed to the nearest kia dealership. Waiting to hear back from the dealership |
