Description of the problem	I was driving straight down a 2 lane highway at approx. 55 mph and the engine abruptly shut off. However, all electrical components still worked, including the a/c, lights, and the navigation screen. I didn't even have time to think about what i needed to do, but i was able to pull into someone's driveway, as there was no shoulder on the highway that i could pull over onto. After pulling off of the highway, i placed the vehicle in park and i turned it off. I tried to restart the vehicle and every light on the dash was illuminated, but it would not start . None of the electrical components worked now after shutting the car off. Heard a clicking sound when brakes were applied. I checked oil on dip stick and oil was fine. The vehicle had over a quarter tank of gas. No lights appeared on dash before it abruptly died. Called tow truck to come get it and take it to repair shop. Mechanic says it is showing the problem could be in the main brain of the vehicle, and i will have to have it towed to nearest kia dealer which is 2 hours away. I just purchased this vehicle approx. 3 months ago with roughly 75k miles on it. I am the second owner with no prior accidents. I am greatly concerned about this issue with my 2014 kia sorento sxl, due to the fact that it could have caused an accident and someone could have been seriously injured due to the engine just abruptly dying. This needs to be recalled asap!
