For the past year my car has had a problem losing power in the middle of the freeway, very dangerous, dropping from 70 mph to 40 with no acceleration forcing me to put on my hazards and pull over. Ive taken it to dealerships and payed over $700 for them to tell me they couldnt find anything wrong. The engine oil light comes on thousands of miles before its time to be changed. Today on the street after exiting the freeway, the car started shaking profusely while at a stop sign and the enigine light came on with a warning that stated 'hybrid emergency do not drive' I turned my car off at the stop sign, again, dangerous as it was middle of traffic, to stop the shaking. Turned ot back on and proceeded home which was about 800 ft away, the entire time the engine light was on. The car began making a chirping noise as I drove home. This is ridiculous and dangerous and even though online it states there was an engine recall for 2012 kia optima, my VIN # states no recall. What should I do?.
Engine sounds like it is going to blow up. Valves are very loud and it lurches under acceleration.
