I was driving on the interstate, going 80mph in the passing lane passing a semi. (speed limit in sd) my car died. No noises, no warning lights nothing. Just lost all power. I was able to coast to the side of the road. I towed it to kia to find out my engine seized. It is part of a class action lawsuit but they should be recalling these engines before they go out. Imagine if an unexperienced driver was driving and lost all power, or if it was icy, or someone was behind me? This is unacceptable these engines are failing and putting lives in danger
