I own a kia sephia 2001. I bought it brand new. Within 1 year of owning it I had the same problem. Every time I went over a little bump, my car shut off and would not crank back up. But mine went completely dead, no radio or nothing. Everytime I took it to the dealership, they kept replacing the fuses, saying that the fuses just blew. After having the same problem 3 times, it took me yelling at them to look into it further to figure out the REAL problem. Finally, they discovered that part of my engine manifold or something was loose(the screws or braces that held it in place were stripped) and that it kept shifting and causing it to scrap against a group of wires, which caused the short and blew my fuses.
Hope this helps.
