Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2017 KIA SORENTO ABOUT 30MPH EARLY TODAY GOING ABOUT 30MPH WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK FROM THE REAR END AND THE ENGINE, ALL LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I THEN RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS FINE. THE DEALER COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WHAT HAPPENS IF I AM GOING 70 MPH AND THE CAR SHUTS DOWN LIKE THIS. SINCE THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE EVENT THERE IS NO SOLUTION.
