Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Optima

I noticed the problem while driving roughly 65 mph. My vehicle pretty much went into limp mode. I was only able to travel at a certain top speed. Over heating then became a very drastic issue. I looked on the nhsta website for any known recalls there were some for my year and model but mine wasn't listed? I called a family mechanic and described in more greater detail about my issue from start to finish, he advised me not to drive the vehicle that it was displaying the exact qualities as the listed recall and I should call Kia Motor company to have the look into my class of vehicles further. Long story short I was basically left homeless in a city and state pretty much beat on the whole idea of every getting my car back at the time of the incident it dropped below 28 degrees outside. I was approximately 200 miles from home. Because of this corporations negligence. I lost more than a good night sleep I had to start back over again and I'm unfortunately an only child with no parents so it was very mind boggling. . I made repeated attempts to come to some sort of agreement with kia to no avail. Some one went so far as to steal a safe out of my vehicle. Which I had professionally installed and vandalized the inside of my car beyond repair. Thanks kia, for victimizing me to make your millions. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 3 - VIN corrected, error in one position (assuming check digit is correct); 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 kia Optima. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled in traffic. The contact pulled over to the shoulder and could not restart the engine. The vehicle was pushed to the contact's home. The vehicle was later restarted and driven to quatro motors (24820 Plymouth road, redford mi, 48239, 313-794-9494) from where it was purchased. The vehicle was then towed to glass man kia (28000 telegraph rd, southfield, mi 48034, (855) 237-2819) where it was diagnosed that the engine failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 64,000.

Wife and baby use this vehicle. When making a right turn from a stop, vehicle begins to slow and almost stall. Have had to pull into bike lanes quickly in order not to be hit from behind. There are 2 occasions when this occurs. 1) when at a stop on a city street, waiting to make a right. Foot off pedal, accelerate, engine begins to stall. 2) when rolling into a right turn (on city streets) acceleration causes start of stall process. We have not fully stalled as of yet. But this could be a bad scenario if it does. We have thought about gas vapor issues with the phoenix, az heat being 119 degrees, but if that were the case, it would happen other times and not just during turns. Thanks.
