check engine & esc light on loss of power

Last night driving down the interstate with the cruise set all of a sudden check engine and ESC light come on. Sorento immediately losses power. Floor it to make it up the hill and then turn on hazards and coast to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night. Turn the truck off and sit a minute. Start it back up and only check engine light is on. Floored the throttle and headed home. At least it got home.

Went to waukegan dealership got an oil change, the oil change was not complete & all my oils leaked out. Since then my engine light has been on. I have taken the suv back several times and still to this date it is not fixed. Recently taken to emission test and it has failed!!!!!. I contacted Kia home office told them I want my complaint escalated.
