Engine Grinding Noise Problems of Kia Motor Forte

I got my 18 kia was purchased with 25k miles on it and when it got around 72,000 miles the car started to shut off, make a grinding noise at times and the check engine light was on. I took the car to kia and gave them all my oil change receipts. They said I was missing 1 maybe 2 so it wouldn't be covered. So picked the vehicle up took it by o riley's where they tested it and said it was a crank shaft sensor we replaced that and it did not fix the problem. We've been driving it because it's our only form of transportation so today my husband was driving it and thankfully not going very fast when it cut off, my husband tried to put it in neutral to restart and ended up going down a hill and hit a tree. Kia needs to do something about this issue! my husband could have been really hurt and thank god I was not in it I'm pregnant nor my 2 small children. This has really made me not ever want another kia or will I ever recommend one to a friend or family member! what's kia waiting for to fix this problem? someone to die first because the car cuts off in traffic and you get slammed!!! what if this was a teenage in their first car they would not know what to do I barley know what to do when it stalls I'm traffic. Just ridiculous!.

Prior to the engine incident I was experiencing the lights flickering , power window malfunctions. The incident occurred on 6/21/2020(father's day morning). I was on my way to the store when my cars engine seized suddenly. I recently had my oil changed in 4/03/2020. No problems reported at the oil change appointment. So the morning of 6/21/2020. I started the car and proceeded to leave my boyfriends house. As soon as I made the left turn out into the street I heard this knocking in the front of the car I'm assuming that was the engine then suddenly ! the car made this loud grinding noise and I immediately experienced loss of power while the car was in motion and the car suddenly stopped in the middle of the street as soon as I made the left hand turn into the street then the engine light came on and there was smoke coming from under the hood as if the car was about to catch fire ! thank god me and my boyfriend were able to push the car out of the street into a parking lot in nuetral. I was able to get it towed to a shop using my insurance and I had to leave it at the shop overnight in their parking lot because they were closed for father's day. The next day I get a call from the shop and they said they tried to jumpstart it, the checked the battery, oil level, and they said the reason for the engine failure was not oil related they said it was nothing they could do. I had to go and and look for an engine to replace the failed engine. It costs me aloooooot of money ! I only had the car for 2 years. I got it at a dealership but my warranty expired so I was unable to repair it through the warranty. The car just hit 87,000 miles ! I got the car at the dealership at 54,000 miles. I do not drive long distances, I keep up with all the maintenance on my car and my engine suddenly failed ! help !! this problem is too common amongst the kia Fortes. I have a 2015 kia Forte5.
