Sportage

  • 100,220 miles
I was driving at 45mph, went into the opposite lane to pass a vehicle and the engine revved into the 7000rpm range, all the lights came on in the dash, and it immediately lost power. I pulled to the side of the road and the engine stopped. I tried to restart the engine and it wouldn't even crank over. No warning lights had come on prior to this and my oil is changed regularly. The engine is now "locked" up. I am reading this has been a frequent problem, but my vehicle VIN shows no recalls. This was on a 55mph highway, while passing at approximately 55mph.
