I was driving on the highway when my jerked twice, check engine light started blinking, and I could not accelerate. I was able to get off the highway safely, my car was towed to a kia dealership nearby and I was told it could take 3-4 days before my car is looked at. This problem has happened twice while I was on the highway.
