My engine caught on fire...the fire was started near or around the fuel rail/ or injectors. I researched Kia recalls and other years and other models of Kia's were part of a similar risk. I feel that this was a huge safety risk....luckily my car engine caught fire very close to my home, and I was able to pull in my driveway and call the fire dept. I was injured in this event....but the burn was minor. I am most concerned with Kia acknowledging the huge safety risk....and the loss that I and others could experience with this safety issue. My vehicle was in great shape before this engine fire.

Sometimes, within the first few minutes of driving for the day, regardless of whether I'm driving 10 mph or 35 mph, the car will jolt backwards and lose all power, as though being turned off, caught from the rear, and then let go. It resumes forward but with much less power. More often, the car will simply not start. There is no clicking, no noise, no sputtering, nothing. The last time I noticed that all electronics... clock, odometer, etc... goes out, like there is no electrical power to be had. It will start eventually, but there seems to be no logic to timing. I've had the car inspected at one nationally known auto repair shop and at a Kia dealership service center. Neither place gave me any reason for the incidents I have described. Internet research shows that both issues are a common problem with the Kia make, and there doesn't seem to be a consensus on what the problem really is. Both issues have been happening repeatedly for the past 2 months.
