“As I was driving my 2023 KIA Sportage SX Prestige at 70+mph on highwy, suddenly Hybrid System Failure appeared on the dash along with evey other lights you can think of. I lost power and steering and only by the grace of God was able to safely get to the side of the road and stop.

If I had not immediately jerked the wheel left the results would have been catastrophic. I would have hit the barrier in a single second after the cars action. …”
