Consumer Description

For about a year now our Kia Soul has been shutting off at random times. There is no warning or sound that indicates a problem with the engine. While driving the engine may just shut off at any time. I started recording the engine to capture this and the last time it happened I was traveling down a busy road with my family going 65MPH and it just shut off. I had to shift the car into neutral and restart the engine. Since then we have stopped driving it accept for short distances close to home because it's not safe.
