Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY, MY CAR JERKED AND LOSS POWER, GOING FROM 60 MPH TO 20 MPH. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A THREW AN ENGINE ROD! THE CAR HAD 108,189 MILES ON IT. THERE IS A NATIONWIDE RECALL ON THE KIA OPTIMA ALREADY, BUT MINE IS NOT. IT SHOULD! THE BEARING RODS GO OUT PREMATURELY AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT MINE DID.
