While driving on the freeway, with no warning, the car lost power and the check engine light came on. Luckily, I was able to coast to the emergency lane safely. Since there was no Kia dealership available in the area, it was towed to an auto garage for diagnosing. The failure code was P1326 and I was told that it needed a new engine. I then towed it 40 miles to the nearest available Kia dealership that was accepting vehicles (10 other closer Kia dealerships told me that they had to many cars to fix and couldn't diagnose my car). I bought this vehicle new. Since all maintenance and recalls were performed timely at a Kia dealership, I was given same day approval to replace the engine under warranty. I was also given a rental vehicle at Kia's expense until the car is repaired. It is expected to take "about a month or so" to replace the engine.
