Consumer Description

THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN 10 DAYS. ONCE WHILE DRIVING AND ONCE IN PARKING MODE WITH VEHICLE ON - SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER, CANNOT ACCELERATE, POWER STEERING IS LOST, AND 3 PANEL LIGHTS TURN ON SIMULTANEOUSLY: BATTERY, OIL, CHECK ENGINE. BOTH TIMES BY TURNING OFF AND RESTARTING ENGINE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING, POWER IS RESTORED AND PANEL LIGHTS TURN OFF. HAVE TAKEN BOTH TIMES TO KIA SERVICE SOUTHSIDE/JACKSONVILLE FL AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE, THEREFORE UNABLE TO FIX A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION IF THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. EXTREMELY CONCERNED!
