2011 kia Sportage - engine failed without warning with two toddlers in car. Luckily this happened as I turned off a highway and was able to stop on the shoulder. Manufacturer refuses to fix because I don't have maintenance record. I have a friend who has been changing oil/servicing car. I have learned that many owners of this year/model car have similar experiences. I feel the manufacturer should deal with a problem as severe as this immediately!.
