NHTSA Complaint #11362753 — 2013 KIA SORENTO

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I95 SOUTH IN SOUTH CAROLINA ALMOST TO THE GEORGIA BORDER DOING 70 MPH IN THE MIDDLE LANE WHEN MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT A WARNING WHILE PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT. I HAD NO WARNING FROM MY INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF LACK OF POWER ON ACCELERATING PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN. I WAS BARELY WAS ABLE TO GET MY CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL AND I HAD TOWED MY CAR TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND I FOUND OUT THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED UP. THE ENGINE OIL WAS REPLACED THREE WEEKS AGO AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING GREAT WITHOUT A PROBLEM UNTIL NOW.
