NHTSA Complaint #11331224 — 2012 KIA SORENTO

WHILE DRIVING ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY, THE CAR'S ENGINE JUST CUTS OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS IN TRAFFIC. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD COME ON. I PUT MY FLASHERS ON AND IT ALLOWED ME TO RESTART AND DRIVE AND IT DID IT AGAIN. THE THIRD TIME I STARTED IT, I TURNED OFF ON A LESS CROWED ROAD TO GET TO ANOTHER STRETCH OF ROAD AND DROVE VERY SLOWING FOR ABOUT 10 MILES TO GET IT HOME. I COULD SMELL SOMETHING COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND I DIDN'T PARK IT IN THE GARAGE. THE SMELL WAS STRONG AND THE HOOD VERY HOT TO THE TOUCH. I DIDN'T WANT TO CHANCE IT CATCHING ON FIRE. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I KEEP THE OIL CHANGED AND HAD IT DONE ON 6/22/2020. *TR
