Was driving on state highway while passing slower moving vehicles. car shut off while moving at 60-65mph while overtaking vehicles. pulled off to the side of the highway as far as possible as the car had shutoff completely. tried to restart the car and the car would not begin the starting process at all. it sounded like a semi-grinding noise and click. had the vehicle towed to mechanic and they have determined that the engine seized and is 'blown'. car has approximately 85k miles.
The issue is the engine it's burning the oil and one of the recall that this vehicle has been a knocking sound in the engine and thats the problem that i'm having. the problem occurred in the road when i smelled the burning oil. now my mechanics says that i have to replace a engine that only is 6 yrs old
The engine light came on and my car started shaking, knocking, and decelerating as i tried to pass another vehicle.
Today i was driving to my parents house on a long straight away highway (55mph speed limit). i began passing another vehicle and as soon as i got around him my check engine light, oil light, and battery light came on. i promptly pulled over on the side of the road and shut the car off. i checked oil level, which was fine. no obvious over heating, smoke, or leaks. i decided to turn the car back on to see if the lights were still there but the car wouldn't start. it was completely dead aside from one tiny crank noise then nothing. luckily someone stopped and we got the car started by jumping it. went to the local parts store and my battery, starter, and alternator all checked out ok. no further lights or issues the rest of the day. not sure what happened but i'm scared to drive it long distance now. never had an issue with this car before this.
Engine light came on along with oil filter light only weeks after oil change and knocking sound became clear in my engine area. vehicle has also shut off in the middle of driving.
Engine oil burnout - within 3 weeks of a fresh oil change the oil completely burned out of the crank case / 2 oil changes performed within 3 weeks , no oil leaks or smoke from exhaust , vehicle was in motion and immediately herd a knock and pulled over and shut vehicle off before any major damages could occur
Motor locked up with 85000 miles. entering interstate on a on ramp at 55 miles per hour and car just shut off and mechanic said motor is locked up. there was metal in the oil.
Engine seized with no warning. complete engine failure. we have maintained the vehicle and have had no prior issues. the engine seized at 90,000 miles driving down the road. the check engine light never came on. we have the 100,000 mile warranty and kia has not covered the repairs to the engine. we were advised we need a new engine.
The engine problems i started experiencing 1.car hesitates when accelerating, 2. knocking noise from engine, lack of power low oil pressure, when i put oil in the car, seems like the next days its low again,(empty)i spent many dollars on oil, i had the oil changed every 3 months sometimes at (kia) because i get free oil change, and most at jiffy lube, here lately, the oil seems to be burning more, check engine light is flashing off and on , the car is unsafe to drive. the car is in my garage. 3. the back brakes went out , suddenly, coat me 500.00 dollars. unacceptable the brakes completely , went out. there was a problem with the back brakes i was told by the kia dealer at evergreen chicago, 4. low mileage, charcoal canister fell off, the brackets broke off, but we tied it back up, getting low mileage, i am upset because i am paying for this car, monthly, and now i am experiencing these problem ,unacceptable these cars has had engine recalls. fuel recalls etc. the charcoal canister fell off , first i had it wrap up, the car was still running .the problem with the engine started nov - dec -2019
Purchased vehicle a year ago and already problems with engine. several months ago while on highway my engine began to seize and i had to coast the vehicle carefully to the side of the road. thought problem was resolved then again as preparing to turn onto my street through an intersection the engine seized again. when this happens i cannot accelerate. this was very scary as i had my 2 young girls in the car with me the second time this happened. i quickly put the car in park, turned off ignition and turned back on after a few seconds. the car started up right away but then a loud clicking/rattling sound began and has not stopped making sound since. at this point i believe it is a problem with the engine which i have been reading is a common problem with kia.
Malfunction indicator light has ignited 3 times, blinking continously, placing my vehicle into limp home mode. kia refuses to replace the knock sensor or engine.
Purchased a used 2014 kia sorento showing 106k miles. test drive with the salesman for about 6 miles various types of roads. very impressed with the car, performed well. purchased it saturday afternoon just prior to the used car dealer closing. after paperwork and plates done, drove it toward home. about 4 miles from dealer (interstate highway) saw the temperature guage climbing into the hot area. no other errors or lights came on. let off on gas to pull over and temp guage came down to normal. continued with caution thinking this was a faulty guage or sender unit. limped home slowly. noticed going up hills and pulling hard temp would climb. letting off gas temp would drop to normal. long story short got the car to a very reputable and experienced garage. engine couldn't be repaired economically. dealer did offer money back. as much as i didn't want to, wound up having to install another used low milage v6 engine. during the month in the garage i had done much research & digging & talking often with the very experienced mechanic in charge of the job. coolant was low and all but two of the head bolts were more than finger tight !! how this engine was running was beyond me, it was! during all this research i read of many head gasket problems and leaks had been reported. the thing that was really concerning was the number of engine fires that had no real cause reported afterwards. my concern is if i had continued driving this car hard, could a leaky head gasket cause a fire under the hood? i learned from the mechanic all these head bolts stripped the threads from the block. i also learned there is another 1.5 inches of unused threads inside the block! my suspicion is kia skimped on the length of all these head bolts to save a buck putting the reliability and safety at the customers risk. is my safety at risk? where is my recall for this car engine? 12/09/2019 dd.
The car was running perfectly fine never had an issue with it. it randomly started knocking/ making a loud noise from the engine and shut off as i was d with my two kids. when i tried to start it back up it continually shut off, it would not stay running. it was running at normal temperature when i pulled over and turned the car off then turned the ignition back on then it showed hot on the temperature gauge. this all started in san bernardino california. i did not understand what the problem was, so i started looking up problems with a kia sorento and found this form.

10/16/2019 i was driving at highway speed when i heard a loud thunk or bang. my car lost power and i pulled to a stop on the side of the highway. as i was stopping the engine and oil lights flashed on. there was smoke coming from under the hood and within 5 minutes, the smoke had increased and flames were coming from under the hood. i was able to escape before the entire car was engulfed in flames. the fire department extinguished the fire and the car was towed to salvage where insurance called it a total loss
My wife and i were on the 91 freeway in light traffic and came to the end of the freeway which becomes artesia blvd in gardena, ca. we were sitting at the light at the end of the freeway and we heard this really loud knocking noise so i shut the engine off. i restarted the engine and it was ok for several minutes then all of a sudden we heard this really loud noise like the engine was being opened with a can opener and this was while in motion on surface streets going about 45 miles an hour. (that's what we thought to best describe the noise). when you press the accelerator it becomes much worse and the car shakes so we parked it and towed home due to the time. i have yet to have it towed to the dealer due to it being late and the weekend. but a friend of mine who's a mechanic said it's definitely the engine and he's leaning towards the barrings and pistons somewhere along those lines. i have kept regular maintenance on it since we got it like changing of fluids, oil things like that since we purchased it on 04/17/2019. we have had other minor things like the locks on the driver side door you have to do manually and the rear hatch doesn't lock and you can open it even with the alarm on, suspension system is a little loose and probably has issues also. transmission is slipping also. there's all of the same year same model same engine that are on the recall list but from what we're gathering ours isn't. i am not quite understanding this because we're positive this is the same issue as the other ones recalled.
On saturday 9/28 - i happen to notice some leaking near the front of my sorento near the right wheel ... i opened the hood and notice a leak all over that side of the car... took the car to mechanic on 9/29 and the mechanic stated oil is mixing into antifreeze ... went to 2 mechanics and both directed me to go to dealer as this repair should be covered under warranty since it is a serious and possibly costly defect...

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 kia sorento. while driving, the accelerator pedal traveled to the floorboard, but the vehicle did not accelerate. the contact glided into a parking lot and shut off. the vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. an independent mechanic tested the vehicle, recharged the battery, and stated that the engine was destroyed after a loud knocking sound was heard when attempting to restart the vehicle. battleground kia (2927 battleground ave, greensboro, nc 27408, (336) 295-1542) was contacted and attempted to get the contact to trade in the vehicle and purchase a new one. the contact searched the vin on the nhtsa website and did not see any recalls. the manufacturer was contacted, provided a case number, and arranged to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. the dealer confirmed the vehicle was not included a recall and would refer the case back to the manufacturer. the contact called back and was informed that the case was declined with no reason given and the case would be escalated to a higher level. the failure mileage was 107,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 kia sorento. when the vehicle was started, a rattling noise was heard from the engine compartment. while driving 50 mph up a hill and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate and struggled to go up the hill. once the vehicle was up the hill, a rattling noise occurred. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to nalley kia (7849 mall pkwy, lithonia, ga 30038, (678) 374-3820) where it was diagnosed that the bearing fell into the engine and a new engine was needed. the vehicle was not repaired and still remained at the dealer. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 100,999.
Kia engine recall. 2014 kia sorento has the 3.3 v6 lambda ii engine. driving car on freeway and suddenly loud knocking noises coming from engine that became louder with acceleration - making car undriveable. had vehicle towed to dealership, it is currently still there - diagnosis so far is metal shavings in oil pan, engine failure. this is the same issue described in the the kia recall with the theta ii engines. called kia and all they said was they would only open a case number. so far they have not included this engine in the recall. searching online, there are others with the 3.3 lambda ii engine experiencing this issue. this engine needs to be included in the recall, it is a severe safety issue.
At the beginning of august 2019, my air conditioner started putting out hot air. i had my oil changed at the kia dealership on 8/16 and they did the usual safety check and they didn't mention anything (i forgot to mention the air conditioning). on 8/25 i was driving home and it was very hot out and the a/c was still not working. i noticed as i pulled into the driveway at my home, the engine temp gauge was fully on "h" hot. i decided to take it back to the kia service the next morning. after they reviewied it, they determined i had "catastrophic engine failure" which was why the a/c wasn't working. my model was not specifically recalled at the time. they determined it was covered by the extended warranty and they are putting in a new engine completely. this is still a serious safety concern with kia engines overall.
Catalytic converter needing to be replaced at 88k miles. lost power/acceleration on highway
On 8/1/19 while driving on a road in stamford ct, the car turned completely off. i had to slam on the brakes and attempt to stop the car. once the car stopped, i put it in park and turned the key to the off position. i waited for 3-4 mins and then turned the car back on and it started without an issue. this was the second time that this has happened this year, the other time was about 2 weeks prior in monroe ny. in sept 2018, the car engine was completely replaced because the engine had failed. the car turning off while driving was the first indication - it happened multiple times prior to sept 2018, and since the dealer was unable to replicate, they deemed that nothing was wrong. in august 2018, the car turned off again while driving on the highway and did not turn on again. it had to be towed from madison, ct to stamford ct where it was determined that the engine failed. i had to wait almost a month for a new engine and now we are experiencing the same issues. with the exception of 8/1/19, every single time the car has turned off, i have been driving with my young children in the car - they are now 5 and 8. this is incredibly frightening to be on a highway and the car turn off. in 2018, i would only drive in the far right lane near the shoulder in the event that this situation would happen again. i will begin driving once again in the right lane only because i do not wish to be in an accident because of this car's continued faulty engine issues.
Driving at a speed of 60 mph . car suddenly starts loosing power slowing to a complete stop with no warnings. not overheating, not out of fuel, electrical all works. no apparent reason the switches come on and work . engine simply will not turn over . no cranking action at all.
Engine leak from under the motor. that was summer time 2019
In motion while passing another vehicle my 2014 kia sorento lost acceleration. when i got back in the lane on a two lane road, with my foot on the gas the car continued to decline in speed. i was not able to accelerate to continue to pass the car at which point an oncoming car was approaching, i had to coast the car to get back into my lane and eventually off the road, very scary ordeal, with the loss of power i was not sure if i was going to be able to get out of the way of the oncoming car. once i was able to get to a safe location off the road, the car cut off. i attempted to restart the car once, nothing, twice the car started then quickly died after another moment i again tried to start the car, it started and remained started. i was able to slowly drive under 40 to an open location, at this time a knocking sound came from the engine. i did not take the chance on driving it any longer as i did not know what was going to happen. i had to call the freeway assist to tow me off the freeway road where i sat in an open unmanned field to wait for another tow truck. the whole ordeal was very scary as i am a female and alone during this incident.
On several occasions my truck shuts down, basically the wheel locks and the truck loses power, and restarts by itself. recently i was on the freeway and the engine light, oil light and traction control light came on and i lost speed, i stepped on the gas and truck was not moving, i was able to get to the shoulder and lost complete power. i did notice when i turned off the air conditioning the truck would start but as soon as i turned on the ac the same thing happened. i have had a lot of trouble with this truck since i bought it.

After getting an oil change in march my check engine light went on in early june. the dealership is stating that the engine will seize and there was no oil. my car did not burn or leak oil. the dealer is stating it's an open recall but kia is denying.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 kia sorento. while driving 70 mph up a hill, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal to the floorboard; however, the vehicle started to decelerate to 40 mph or less. also, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the bearing rod inside the engine failed and the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired and was towed to jim shorkey kia (located at 12900 us-30, irwin, pa 15642, (724) 241-0176) where it was diagnosed that the bearing rod inside the engine failed, and the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 13201482. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
Driving on the highway my car lost power at 11pm on a saturday nite. it would only go aporox 40mph w the the gas petal to the floor. no check lights came on until aporox a few min from home. only the check engine light. no overheating no smoke. i took it to my mechanic who determined it was the same issue the 2.4 engine that was recalled. i have the 3.3. also the kia mechanic said the same. only 70000 miles on the car. kia at this point is refusing to acknowledge this is a manufacturing issue. they have had my car for 3 weeks and as of yesterday still no answer. i even left a voice mail for sean yoon the ceo. i tried to call mr yoon yesterday but got redirected to thir consumer dept. they said it takes 2-3 days to determine a decision. so im paying for a car and a rental when they already know what the issue is. one consumer dept employee i spoke w said she hasnt had very many complaints about the 3.3. well that right there is a red flag! i just want them to do the right thing. they also tried to tell me that because im the second owner and i was past the 60000 mi service warrenty i had no coverage and the 100000 was only for first owner. its a manufacturers defect not anything we did. we have been loyal kia customers for over 10 years. i feel like because we didnt buy another new kia we are being punished. this cars defect could of seriously injured a lot of people if this would of happened during a busy time of day. i know they are busy taking care of other complaints but to wait 3 weeks is a bit unnerving.
When travelling on a highway at speeds of 70-73 mph, after 45 minutes to one hour of driving the car shuts itself off. the car stops completely, the engine shuts itself off, there is no power steering, and no air conditioning and no lights. the radio continues to work, which of course is the least of my concerns. after pulling over to the side of the road and waiting for several minutes the car will start back up again...until it doesn't. the kia dealership has been unable to determine what the problem is.
Engine dies when driving. rpms are at 0 when my speed will be 60 mph. i have to pull over, turn my car off then turn it back on to start the engine again. this happens 7-14 times a week. it happens in the city, country roads, going fast or slow. i am going to get in a wreck if this is not fixed.
On several occasion's the engine would just cut out altogether while driving. a couple of times i have even smelled fuel.
My engine stopped in the middle of traffic at a stop light
Takata recall my 2014 kia sorento suv awd engine it ried to stalled in the middle of the highway on me as i was driving on the highway at 65 mph at the exit it stopped at the light. even though i took my kia in the dealership to have a software updated (ksda) in the begining of this year 2019. i was all most in a car crash from this. becasue cars on the highway were coming my way to get off i was so scared. i called kia dealership. i was told that my truck was not on the recall list. i knew it was becasue my truck had all the symptoms. i was told to drive it to the dealership even through i express my concern that it was something wrong with the engine i was still told to drive the truck in. the person on the phone did not even care i could have been in a really bad accident as cars were drving 65mph. so i asked my husband to take it in. he did. kia said that they will look at it and let me know by the end of the day. day 1 no one called day 2 i called kiaa tech said someone will call me mid afternoon. after day 2 no one called mid afternoon of day 2 so on day 3 i had to call to see what was going on then i was told kia would replace my engine with a brand new engine not a refurbuised engine. but i dont think that will fix the problem.. i saw these recalles months before this happened for other suv's like mine. i looked everyday on the website starting in jan 2019 with my vin # nothing i am concern becasue after reserach i noticed that even though kia fixes the problems of the engine it stalked again on other customers. i am so scared to get back in that truck. i also had an appiontment schedule to fix the door locks due to recall not unlocking or locking on the recall webiste before all this engine stuff. i mention this to the kia tech which he said do not worry we will fixed that too..
Last fall 2018 i received a letter and had a ksds sensor installed 28 dec to detect and prevent engine failure. 22 mar 2019 the ksds kicked in and the car was difficult to drive. it completely stalls then lets you accelerate a little and drive really slow. if you accelerate too much it again stalls for a few seconds. luckily my wife was only 2 miles from home traveling ~40 on a side road (not highway). if this were to happen on the highway seems like a major hazard. having the engine seize with the real issue is probably worse. we took the vehicle in immediately to the dealer, who gave us a loaner, then called us back the next day to say the vehicle was covered for the extended warranty and the engine would need replaced. couple weeks later we checked on and we were told they were done with our vehicle. they did something to the wire harness and a test on the engine to say the vehicle was ok. i asked the dealer and kia ca for the following explanation: 1.why did the ksds kick in and why is my vehicle ok now? 2.did they do something (disable) to prevent the ksds from kicking in again? 3.did they enhance it to better detect a more serious problem? what exactly did they do with the wire harness/ksds? 4.how quickly can the real issue happen? 5.will my car still be covered by the lifetime warranty? 6.is it safe to drive on the highway? got a run around and no answer. after several weeks i took the vehicle back. i won't drive on the highway, especially the wife, kids, grandkids. i found the tsb 1802w/x and 1803w/x and it indicates interference on the w/h and was replaced. so did my ksds kick in because of interference and not the real problem? regardless is it safe to drive on the highway with this ksds? whatever help you can provide would be appreciated, thanks.
While driving home from baltimore, all of the warning lights on my car turned on and the car started decelerating. i pulled over to the side of the highway to park the car and it would not move at all after that. i charged my phone and the car battery died as i waited for a tow truck. i got it towed to my mechanic who said it was the engine and would be covered under the recall kia currently has. i got it towed again to kia on the boulevard on march 20th. they lied to me and said they were working on my car only to find out march 29th they never looked at my car and had lost my key. i had to wait for them to order a new key and then send pictures to get the warranty approved. they advised me they would not give me a loaner or help with a rental but i could be reimbursed after all repairs are made. i received a voicemail april 1st saying my car was done when the warranty was not approved yet. they have repeatedly told me different lies and advised they rushed the order of my engine and it would be there by may 10th. a new engine has still not arrived for me, i called the number they gave me for kia's "corporate office" and was advised a rush was not placed until may 15th and they still do not know when the engine will be delivered. i am in the process of buying a house and i fear i'll be spending thousands of dollars in rentals without reimbursement for who knows how long. i've already spent over $500 as a result of this. i have tried to be patient but the blatant lies and irresponsibility is baffling.
Engine fire!! while travelling down highway passenger noticed sparks left rear of car. pulled over to check car, lifted hood engine was on fire. driving normal rate of speed in normal conditions. no collision or accident involved. travelling us-71 south in vernon county missouri incident number 190140035. fire department put fire out. car towed to tcb towing and auto service 205 n barrett st nevada mo 64772
While driving at highway speed on a 2 lane highway and going up a medium incline, a ticking noise progressively got louder over the course of about 45 seconds to a minute until there was total loss of power, almost causing a collision from a vehicle behind me. no warning lights appeared on the dash as this was happening and engine temperature was normal. luckily there was enough shoulder and had enough momentum to pull off to the side of the road. i was unable to restart the vehicle and had to have it towed. the vehicle fell under a safety recall which was reported to have been completed october 13, 2017. i am the original owner of the vehicle.
Lack of acceleration from a stop. when starting from a stop, the vehicle will very slowly move forward with the rpm stalling at approximately 1500 rpm and further depressing of the gas pedal fails to allow it to accelerate further. wife had issue with trying to get on the freeway when this occurred, it was a safety issue, she was trying accelerate on the on ramp, almost hit from behind. she managed to get to the shoulder and get to the side road. after getting to destination and stopping for awhile, the car started and operated normally to get home. back to kia, after test drive they were able to duplicate once. there were no warning lights or failure codes. they kept car for six weeks trying to see issue again. we now have a flight recorder installed for a week recording any issues. if we see issue, we have to activate recorder by pushing a button, taking attention off of road. wife will not drive car unless just around the block.
I brought the car into dealership service department for an issue with the heat. the heat was not warming the car consistently during the winter months, and by the end was not working at all , also had experienced overheating approximately three times within the weeks before i brought it in. i was told by the service department that i needed a new engine.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 kia sorento. while driving 60 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate, lost power, and the check engine indicator illuminated. the vehicle was towed to kia of macon (3931 river place dr, macon, ga 31210, (478) 757-0077) where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 17v224000 (engine and engine cooling) on february 15, 2019. the manufacturer was not contacted. on a separate occasion, while driving 30 mph, the contact was alerted by other motorists that her vehicle was on fire. there were no warning indicators illuminated. there were no injuries. a police report was filed. the air bags did not deploy. the vehicle was towed to an independent tow lot. the contact called ed voyles kia of chamblee (5647 peachtree industrial blvd, chamblee, ga 30341, 770- 232-6247). the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 62,437.
We were driving on the highway when we noticed the temperature gauge going up. we stopped at a shop and got it looked at and they replaced the thermostat and flushed the radiator. on the highway on the way home we noticed the temperature gauge going back up and pulled over. we had it towed home. we again made the repairs and then took it to the kia dealership for them to look it over and have any necessary repairs done and paid by the warranty we have on the sorrento. the dealership hooked up the vehicle to check the free stream data fault codes but non were present. our sorrento got hot enough to warp the engine heads and require a new engine but never once did it trip a code/warning light on the dash. if it hadn't been for us noticing the temperature gauge going up we would have had no warning that our car was overheated to the point the radiator boiled over and warped the engine heads. why wasn't any warning light such as check engine light or anything signaled to come on?
The engine became sluggish going uphill, then started naking noises, and finally stopped. it could not be restarted. the mechanic turned the engine over with a wrench, but it was very difficult. the trouble happened on a secondary road.
The engine blew after a few days when warrenty expired after a dealer sent the car home saying unless we could prove or show a maintenance history of the car they would not do warrenty work. the car was bought used so we could not provide a long repair or maintenace record of the car. however we bought a extenended warranty that was not entered correctly in the system and the car was still sent cleared as being ok to drive even though the engine blew within a few days of dealer service in offallon il.every sorrento other than this year has been recalled for engine problems so why not ours.
Engine started knocking while driving it. i had it towed to the dealership where they said the bearing in the engine were shot. all other makes and models are under recall for this exact smae reason. i've noted others from the internet are having the same issues as mentioned above in the 3.3 l. engine
I am a little perplexed with your judgement call kia...i own a 2014 kia sorento that's as apart of your engine recall...the car 'passed' the tests ran on it to determine if a new engine was needed, only to have the engine completely cease going 50mph on a major highway in virginia...i received a call today about an open recall on a fuel pump issue potentially causing fire...while i was aware of this situation due to the national news the issue has received i was not prepared for the supposed resolution to this issue...i was told that i needed to bring the vehicle in for inspection to determine 'if they' thought the fuel pump needed to be replaced...so, let me get this straight you want me to yet again trust people that told me my engine was completely fine when it wasn't to now tell me i don't need a new fuel pump but potentially catch fire ??? something is seriously wrong with this situation ! the fact that you are willing to put peoples safety at jeopardy is disheartening...i have zero trust that if i am told the fuel pump doesn't need to be replaced that i am safe...you need a better resolution and you need one fast....
My sorento feels like it's going to stall, especially when accelerating. it's also burning oil at an alarming rate. the oil lamp flickered once while driving on the highway. there is no obvious oil leak. i took it to the dealership and they said it needs a new engine it that it isn't covered under the 17v224 recall. i'm afraid that the engine is failing and that it is kia's responsibility, but they are ignoring the problem
While driving down i75 acrossing the zilwaukee bridge two guys in a pickup, later i call my angels, tried to get me to pull over. naturally my instinct was no. when i wouldn't, the driver started inching over towards my car to make me stop. i pushed on the brakes and there was nothing to push. when i finally stopped one guy jumped out .. pulled open my door and told me my car was on fire, pulling me out. by the time we ran towards their pickup, the car was completely engulfed in flames. i was lucky they were there or i wouldn't be here to write this.
