NHTSA Complaint #11310952 — 2014 KIA OPTIMA

I WAS DRIVING HOME WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR APPROXIMATELY AT 67 MPH ON FREEWAY 99 NORTH FROM LA TO BAKERSFIELD CA AND ALL OF A SUDDEN CAR STALLED. I WAS ON THE FAST LANE AND REACTED IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON BUT CARS BEHIND ME WERE SO SHORT INTO REAR ENDING ME I CRIED BECAUSE I WAS JUST SHOCKED AND SCARED FOR MY SON. LUCKILY MY AUNT WAS TWO CARS BEHIND ME SINCE WE HAD TOOK A SHORT FAMILY TRIP AND THEY HELPED ME OUT. I HAD JUST TOOK MY CAR FOR AN OIL CHANGE TO KIA HADDAD OF BAKERSFIELD WHERE THEY ALSO FIXED A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENS TO THIS CAR. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN JUNE OF 2017 THAT'S WHAT KIA TOLD ME THAT'S WHY THEY COULDN'T REPLACE THE BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED IT AND WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THE SECOND WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME IN 2018. SAME THING HAPPENED CAR STALLED WITH MY SON WITH ME. MECHANIC SAID I NEEDED A ENGINE WHICH HE ENDED UP REPLACING I PAYED FOR THAT. NOW THIS HAPPENS AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME ? I'M JUST SO OVERWHELMED I'VE BEEN SO LUCKY I HAVEN'T CAUSED NO ACCIDENT. NOW I'M SCARED TO EVEN FIX THIS CAR AGAIN AND DRIVE IT.
