My car is stalling while driving. It is really scary when it happens and I checked it twice through diagnostic tests with kia and they cannot identify the issue. I am really concerned about my safety as this stalling feels like a powerful stonewall impact. It happened 6 times in a 2 month span. My kids got scarred too when it happened while they were in the car with me. If the dealer cannot determine the cause, I am afraid to drive it. Please help. Thank you.
