I’ve encountered a troubling issue with my 2023 Sportage that has now happened three times. The first time it occurred, the car shut off completely and wouldn’t restart until it was jumped. Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, what was the cause and how did you resolve it? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Your Sportage shutting off completely is a major red flag. It could be a battery issue, alternator problem, or even a deeper electrical concern.
Definitely get it checked out by a Kia dealership ASAP. They have the tools and expertise to diagnose the problem.
While you wait, keep a close eye on the battery’s health and any other warning signs.
A complete shut-off like that is definitely not normal for a 2023 Sportage. Have you tried checking the battery health?
Sometimes, even new batteries can have issues. Also, look into any potential electrical problems or software glitches that might be causing the car to lose power.
If you’ve ruled those out, it’s time to visit your dealership and have them diagnose the issue.
