WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES PER HOUR WITH A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME. MY KIA SORENTO JUST SHUT OFF. I JUST PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN TIME SO I WOULDN'T GET HIT BY THE SEMI. IT TOOK ME ABOUT 6 HOURS TO GET MY CAR HOME. I WAS OUT IN WHERE THERE WASN'T A GARAGE OR NOTHING AROUND. AFTER GETTING IT HOME AND JUMP START THE BATTERY IT STARTED. THEN ON 4/22/15 I WAS TAKING MY WIFE TO A APPOINTMENT AND IT DID THE SAME THING AND THE ENGINE IS KNOCKING BEFORE IT SHUT OFF GOING DONE HIGHWAY. I BOUGHT THIS KIA USED WITH 52,000 MILES ON IT IN JULY 2014. HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 6 MONTHS OR 36000. WELL 6 MONTHS IS PASSED AND NOW I AM STRUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM. CALLED DEALER WHERE I GOT IT. THEY WONT HELP. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS THING THAT THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. I AM PAYING FOR A CAR THAT IS FAULTY AND THEY MISLEAD YOU ON THE MILEAGE TO. ONLY GET 20-23 AT 55 MILES PER HOUR. NOT NOW 30 OR SO LIKE THEY SAY. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ME. I STILL HAVE TO GET MY CAR YET. IT IS GETTING PRICEY TO KEEP A CAR THAT SUPPOSE TO BE GOOD CAR.
