Engine Shut Off Without Warning Problems of Kia Motor Sedona

My 2017 kia Sedona shut off while in motion on a street. I had to put my car in park turn the key and then restart my car. This happens on 10/31/2019. Roughly 20 minutes later it happened again while on the highway. It was towed to the kia service center and they could not replicate the issue. On 2/1/2020 my car shut off again while at a red light. On 2/25/2020 while the vehicle was in motion it shut off again. This time a car behind me had to swerve into the other lane in order not to slam in to me. On 2/26/2020 while driving my daughter to school it shut off again while in motion. The vehicle was towed to kia service center. It is still currently there. They are stating they can't replicate the issue.

The persistent problem that we have had with our vehicle is the engine shuts down while driving, causing a serious safety hazard. The safety hazard is serious in that, while the vehicle is in motion, power steering shuts off and the brakes are slow to work. Each occurrence has happened when the vehicle is in drive and moving at a speed of approximately 20-25 mph. This has happened 3 times: - January 29,2017 - January 30, 2017 - February 16, 2017 the circumstances in each instance included driving and maintaining approximately 20-25 mph. Other factors are unknown. Fortunately, in each instance, I was able to pull safely to the side of the road and assess the vehicle. The first two occurrences, I pushed the start button and it was evident the vehicle starting system was acting unusual as it tried starting. The vehicle eventually started and I was able to continue driving. The third occurrence on February 16, 2017, I took kia's advice and did not attempt to start the vehicle and contacted kia roadside service. The second event occurred the next day on January 30, 2016 under similar circumstances. Again I was able to pull over without the power steering system functioning properly to a safe area and re-start the vehicle with the same uncommon sounds from the starting system. I called joe myers kia in houston, texas and explained the occurrences. On January 31, I drove the vehicle to joe myers kia for troubleshooting and repair of the vehicle. The vehicle has been to the dealership two times to address the safety defect. The first time was January 24, 2017 for 8 days. The service department could not duplicate the concern. The next time, it was towed on February 16, 2017 and it stayed there for 41 days. Kia did install a flight recorder to record all systems the second time the vehicle was brought in.

While driving from the babysitter to my house on 07/19/2011 my car shut down while I was turning in a busy intersection. I was alone with my kids in the middle of the road while cars try to go around me after 3 minutes my car turned back on when I got home my stereo shut down and engine started making nose. I called the dealer spoke to a sales person who wanted me to come in for a trade in, spoke to jeff from the service department and he will call me back to schedule an appointment to come in. This is not the fist time I had a problem with the van stereo it's been changed before, door handles and other miscellanies work have been done, the grip from the back door is coming off.

On 2 separate occasions, my new 2005 kia Sedona, with 4300 miles on it, has shut down while traveling the 1st time at around 40 mph, and the latest time traveling down i10 outside of tucson, az with 3 kids and 2 other adult passengers, traveling at about 65 mph. We pulled to the side of the road and tried to restart car. After 5-10 minutes, the car restarted, was put in drive, and moved a few feet before shutting down again. This time it didn't restart and we tried to call the 800 tow number that kia gave us. We couldn't get through to anyone, so the az highway patrol got a tow truck there in 5 minutes. Not only are we out 300. 00 for the cost of the tow, but it has been sitting at the dealership since 08/22/2005. They said that they won't give us a rental car so we had to rent one ourselves at the dealership. I spoke to the manager john on the Saturday following and he said he didn't know what the diagnosis was and there was nobody in service on Saturday, but he would call me on Monday morning(today) and have someone "on it" first thing in the morning. I received no call. I called around 5:00 pm to find it was john's day off and he would be returning Tuesday morning. I was then transferred to a "service tech" who pulled up on his computer the diagnostic of my car. He said that they had or is supposed to order a new rear engine mount. He said that he didn't know how long the part would be because it looked like they had to get it from japan(hq), and also didn't know how long it would take to install or why that would be making the car shut down. I am very concerned about the whole situation, and don't feel comfortable driving a car that needs to have a part replaced after 4000 miles, that keeps the engine from falling off the frame of my car, especially with infants in my car. Please advise me on my rights(if any), and contact me ASAP at the phone number provided. Thanks for any help and concern.
