I purchased my vehicle 2 years ago and now it needs an engine. It is only 4cyrars old. It was stalling every once and while, then one day I tried to accelerate on the freeway and it would. It started smoking and then died out. Luckily I was able to get it up to the next exit ramp. I took to recently to a repair shop and try said it needed an engine.
Driving on highway at 65 miles per hour and car suddenly lost all power and came to complete stop in heavy traffic. Vehicle restarted after 2 attempts. Took to kia dealer for inspection and there was no recorded code and they were unable to re-create issue so nothing was done. Reading other complaints of sudden stalls on this site makes driving this vehicle scary. The vehicle has only 31k miles on it and has had no other issues. Kia should be doing something before someone has a tragic accident!.

Staring in January 2017 (purchased may 2016) at around 16k the car stalled several times in traffic and would not accelerate. No warning light or anything. Within a minute the car began to work as normal. Took it in to kia in avon, in and they were not able to replicate but did a service recall. Happened again in may 2017 at 16k. This time more frequently to duplicate. Kia could duplicate and said relearned computer. Nothing again until 19k in Jan 2019 on highway. Car barely missed me as I coated to the side of the road. Kia could not duplicate and although said they would escalate for buyback, never contacted me again. Dangerous issue and worse they dont seem to care.
