NHTSA Complaint #11471074 — 2013 KIA SPORTAGE

While driving approximately 75 mph down the interstate, the car failed to accelerate, made a noise as if air was being released, and then died. Thankfully, we were able to make it to the side of the road, but the car would not restart. We had the car towed to a dealership not far from where we broke down. The mechanics at the dealership informed us that the engine had locked up while we were driving. No lights or messages had come up before the car died, and the only sound that we heard was the air release sound. Other vehicles of the same make and model have had engine recalls, but when we reached out to KIA, but there is not a recall on our vehicle.
