Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING CAR SHUT OFF AND HYBRID BATTERY WENT DEAD. IS SAYS 'HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING SHUT OFF VEHICLE AND DO NOT DRIVE'. I HAD THE CAR CHECKED AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE LOCKED UP. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINS ON THIS AND I WON'T PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE WHEN KIA NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE.
