While driving home one day in december 2015, each time i approached a stop light, yield sign or slowed to a low speed (less than 15 mph), my vehicle would shut-off multiple times. my in motion speed was approx 45 mph when not approaching a stop light or yield sign. it happened both when i was turning and going straight on main roads with 2-4 lanes. the dealership and another asme certified mechanic both state engine failure, which seems to be a widespread problem with 2.4l engines manufactured by kia and hyundai around this year up to 2015.
