It’s a KIA so anything is possible, cam and crank sensors, wiring, computer even total engine failure.

There are so many problems that can cause this, I cant list them here. But if you have driven this car a lot, it might be a broken ignition switch. The car's only nine years old, but that's about it for any KIA. Next time buy a more reliable car and you shouldn't have so many nitpicky problems.
