Consumer Description

AS I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 15-20MPH THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JANUARY 2014. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO KIA DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG , READ ANY CODES WITH COMPUTER OR DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR AND IT IS A DRIVING HAZARD NOT KNOWING WHEN IT WILL SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, NEXT TIME IT COULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION OR FREEWAY! WE PLAN ON TAKING BACK TODAY TO DEALERSHIP. *TR
