NHTSA Complaint #10864771 — 2012 KIA SORENTO

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM DRIVETIME IN LAUREL MD ON 5/9/16. ON 5/10/16 I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND THE VEHICLE STARTED PULLING WILE RADDLING. ON 5/10/16 & 5/11/16 I MADE THE DEALER AWARE OF THE KIA HAVING ENGINE ISSUES. ON 5/13/2016 THE CAR STARTED DRAGGING AND WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 60MPH. THEN THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF 95N GOING TOWARDS EX 43. THIS WAS VERY SCARY, THE WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE CAR LOST POWER SO I ENDED UP DRIFTING OUT OF CONTROL TO THE RIGHTS SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC... I'M SO LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TODAY...THIS VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY... IT SAD TO KNOW THAT MARYLAND INSPECTED AND PASSED THAT DEATH TRAP
