On feb.14,2020 i was driving on the freeway going 65mph when my car stalled luckily i was able to get to the right shoulder of the freeway i try to restart the car nothing happen didnt click over every light was on the dashboard i had it towed to my house and try to start it twice nothing clicked over i thought it was the battery bought a brand new battery $153 and still nothing it no clicking over no nothing i believe my engine failed
I was driving on the road at 40mph when the engine just stopped. there was no noise and the vehicle lost control. i was able to avoid any serious body damage. all the electrical accessories would turn on but the engine stayed dead when i turned the car on. after leaving it over night parked on a residential street the next day same situation all electrical devices turned on but the engine wouldnt turn on. i had to get it towed to the dealer i bought it from in order for them to take a look at what could of gone wrong.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 kia optima. the contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, approaching a stop light, the contact made a left turn and the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. the contact was able to safely guide the vehicle off of the roadway. the contact attempted to restart the vehicle with no success. the vehicle was towed to the residence. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. the contact stated that failure was similar to the failure stated in nhtsa campaign number: 17v224000 (engine and engine cooling). neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was contacted or informed of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 118,000.
There are a few recalls on my car. an appointment was scheduled to go to greenway kia in longwood, fl. however, upon arrival they tried to charge us for the diagnostics and stated that the recall is not valid without us paying for the diagnostics. then they proceeded to advise us that the parts that we needed under the recall were not covered by the recall and that we would need to pay thousands of dollars to then mention that it would be easier for them and cheaper for us to just buy a new car. we decided to leave and try to do more research. i did call our mechanic he confirmed there were recalls for our vehicle. i then called another kia dealer and they advised there were recalls on our car and that there would be no charge for the diagnostics and/ or repairing the car under recall.
I was driving my 2012 kia optima along highway 102 when it just stopped running pulled off the highway put it in park turn the key off try to restart the vehicle with no luck it would not start had it towed to an automotive shop and to our surprise they said that it was the motor due to the crankshaft boring and not being cleaned out properly we took very good care of this car had an oil change every 3000 miles from the dealers garage where we purchased it should be well-documented
I was driving the car at about 45 mph, and suddenly the check engine light, battery, and the oil light all came on at once and my car stopped moving. thought it was the battery or the starter at first but now i'm pretty sure its either the engine got locked up or the wires in the car just burnt up.
Driving approximately 60 mph on the highway and the engine seized giving me know acceleration. vehicle was brought to the dealership and they found metal shavings in the engine that may have gotten loose very similar to the kia optimas that were recalled but the hybrid model was not recalled.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 kia optima. while driving 15 mph, the vehicle sezed without warning. when the contact pulled over to the shoulder of the road, turned off, and restarted the vehicle, it failed to return to normal. the vehicle was towed to a family member's house. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 17v224000 (engine and engine cooling). the manufacturer was notified. the dealer was not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
I was on the interstate traveling at approx 70 mph changed lanes and when i went to accelerate the vehicle stalled lost power i coasted to the breakdown lane and attempted to start the vehicle. it would not start. i had aaa tow it to a hardings garage in fairfield. the technician said this morning the vehicle started but stalled as soon as he tried to move it. he told me that there was a kia recall 17v224000 that applied to the engine so i got aaa to tow the vehicle to charlies kia in augusta, me. they tell me that there is no recall on my vin. why would i have the same stalling as indicated in the recall if my vin does not apply???
The car engine made a noise and the engine and starting smoke with fire and it completely stopped in rush hour traffic. the car shutdown in traffic and had to pushed out of the street to avoid me being hit.

While waiting at a stop light my car completely shut off and wouldn't start again. now the engine is seized up and won't turn on or anything. no lights or warning signs of anything happening. i was at a stop light waiting to turn left on a city street.
