2016 Kia Sorento - ENGINE Failure Complaint (#b0becc)

2016 Kia Sorento

  • Date of Incident: Apr-14, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-15, 2024
  • Failed components: ENGINE

On 4/14/24 i was turning the corner and my car cut off on me in the middle of the turn. I coasted to the nearest store. My engine light, oil light and battery light came on upon trying to restart the vehicle. The vehicle will not start and those lights still remain on. I had to have the vehicle towed home. As of today the vehicle still won't start. I am traumatized as this could of ended very badly. I could of been killed and or collided with another vehicle. When my car cut off i was unable to really steer the vehicle luckily there was a nearby gas station i was able to just sharply coast into and slam on brakes. I believe this is a major safety concern and needs to be addressed as i'm pretty sure i am not the only one with this issue. Upon trying to restart the car
