Traded in my 2016 Kia optima hybrid because it would suddenly lose power on freeway. We would get a ‘warning hybrid system failure’ light on dash. But despite multiple dealership visits and even taking a picture of the dash warning, they could never figure it out. So, for that reason, we traded that car in for a new 2023 Kia niro and it’s doing the same thing! No dash warning though. Typically it happens while going freeway speed, and then it suddenly losses power and the gas pedal makes zero difference. For a while we thought maybe it was a glitch from cruise control perhaps switching off. Today, I nearly got hit by two semi’s when I lost power in the passing lane but was able to pull over, shut off engine, then restarted and continued on trip (but stayed in the slow lane). Of course, it’s a weekend, so appreciate any thoughts!
