Trying to avoid another vehicle approaching me in a head on collision, my engine began to stall, brakes locked up which caused suspension issues of the vehicle. Due to this, the vehicle was completely totaled and global lending services is consistently reporting it as a repossession. Both vehicles were in motion and it was on a la hwy.

I was driving and out of nowhere the car started to bog down and the check engine light came on. It continued to do it every few seconds and was getting worse the whole way to the shop, which was the closest one I could find as soon as it started doing it. The shop ran the error code and got a knock sensor error.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 kia optima. The contact stated that the dealer provided routine maintenance for the vehicle and also indicated that an alignment was required. The contact also mentioned that the vehicle swayed left and right, which caused the suspension to be unstable in the front of the vehicle.
