Re: 2004 Kia Rio(57k miles on it) Question...:-( UPDATE!!!

Well...it happened again last night... 45 miles from the house at 
midnight....only this time it continued to...lose power(like the automatic

tranny was in neutral)...it would run for a little....lose power...coast
to 
a stop....had to turn off engine...put in neutral/park...restart...finally

limped it home(took 2 1/2 hrs!)...repeated the "trip" drive this morning 
taking it to the Kia dealer****p....they pulled the codes...slippage in the

4th whatever/torque converter issue...New tranny time! Thankfully the
tranny 
is still under warranty(this was the SECOND!!! tranny that the Kia dealer 
has put into this car)...Tranny only has 10k on it... We're carless for 5 
days(no trannys in stock)...Has anyone else had this car problem??? What
do 
we need to be on the watch for now???:-((((((((((((  :-)Liz
