| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: While driving, the engine on my kia will simply stop. there is no warning whatsoever, and this happens at any time - short trips, long trips, highways, back roads, there is no common denominator whatsoever. i have taken it to the kia dealership numberous times - it was there monday through friday last week, and was again towed there sunday night where it is still there. each time they give me my car back saying they can't find anything wrong with it, but the problem keeps occuring. i work on the road and i'm terrified to drive this car - afraid that someday i won't be able to get to the breakdown lane when it dies the next time. the kia service advisor tries to help, but the problem is not getting fixed and i'm told by the dealership that there is no one else i can talk to. at this point i don't want the car back until it's repaired, or replaced with a similar vehicle. i currently owe more than it's worth in the blue book, otherwise i'd trade it in. |
