Year/Make/Model: 2023 Kia Sportage EX HEV AWD 4-Door SUV Color: Black Powertrain: Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Number of occupants: 2 (driver and passenger) Injuries: None, but fatalities could have occurred.  Vehicle turned off completely \u2013 no power, no hazard lights, and although driver miraculously made it to the shoulder, most of it was blocked by a snowbank and sat in a dead car with no hazard lights.   Passenger (recovering from leg surgery in full leg brace) was forced to exit onto a snow bank and enter a tow truck cab, risking re-injury. Crash: No \u2014 vehicle was somehow brought to shoulder and aid protected by two state trooper vehicles until a tow arrived. Our car suddenly emitted a loud alarm at highway speed on I-84 -the instrument panel displayed an \"stop vehicle immediately\" warning. There was no prior warning, unusual noise, or dashboard indication of any problem.  The car shut completely down while still on the highway.   Car was towed to the nearest KIA dealer - Columbia Ford/Kia  [XXX] ). After diagnosis, the authorized Kia dealer documented the following on Repair Order Invoice W7403: \u2022  Concern: \"TOW IN. DIED WHILE DRIVING. SEPARATED\" \u2022  Diagnostic fault code: BMS P1BB20 \u2022  Failed/replaced parts:       \u25e6  DECOUPLER-BASFILTR, Part No. SPO 25290 2MHD0       \u25e6  BOLT-CRANKSHAFT, Part No. KIA 23127 2MHA0       \u25e6  BATTERY MODULE ASSY, Part No. SPO 37507 L5000 \u2022  Parts total: $835.54 \u2022  Vehicle in dealer possession: March 5, 2026 \u2013 March 20, 2026 (15 days) complete loss of motive power at highway speed. Based on my subsequent research, this failure mode appears consistent with a documented similar issue in the United Kingdom and European markets - which did result in a recall.     -hybrid belt/tensioner system. Kia issued revised parts and ECU updates in those markets. No equivalent safety recall or consumer notification has been issued in the US.
