Consumer Description
I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT APPROX 70 MPH CHANGED LANES AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE STALLED LOST POWER I COASTED TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD AAA TOW IT TO A HARDINGS GARAGE IN FAIRFIELD. THE TECHNICIAN SAID THIS MORNING THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT STALLED AS SOON AS HE TRIED TO MOVE IT. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A KIA RECALL 17V224000 THAT APPLIED TO THE ENGINE SO I GOT AAA TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO CHARLIES KIA IN AUGUSTA, ME. THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY VIN. WHY WOULD I HAVE THE SAME STALLING AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL IF MY VIN DOES NOT APPLY???
