Car dies

I'm having the same problem with my 2011 Kia Soul. It has now died several times while I have been driving, almost exclusively when in neutral (it's a manual), i.e. when I'm going down a hill or on an off-ramp. It usually starts right back up, but the tachometer doesn't work, and it doesn't drive properly, it sputters and has trouble accelerating. When I turn the car off and turn it back on, everything works again. Any thoughts on what could be causing it?

Just had this happen today to my 2013 Rio. Did you ever find the problem?

Hey did you ever find the problem. I have a car that’s doin the same

Yes it was the crankshaft sensor . I replaced that and it worked but they said it could also have been the camshaft sensor. Hope that helps .

I just got a 2007 KIA roe a month ago and now my car keep cutting off,someone check it out for me and said it's the crankshaft sensor, my dad said to take the battery cable off for a couple of minutes and that so help,so how long will that help?

Googling this was so helpful!! My 2013 Kia Rio was doing the same thing. It died twice while driving and once idling. I was able to restart it. I took it to a shop and they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I told them it could be the crankshaft sensor but they didn’t want to do it if unnecessary. Then the same day, I had trouble starting it, the rpm went to 0 and the engine light came on. I took it back and it registered as the crankshaft sensor needing replaced. Bingo! Google searches DO work.
