Hello
The engine and transmission in this cars drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPEDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Died on freeway just lost power and wont start also over heating

What car? What happened as to oil/water thrown out? When was it last serviced? How many miles has it done?
My guess is the head gasket has gone. This would give most or your symptoms. Get good DIY help or a garage.

Truck died while driving

somewhere you have a broken main wire or cable that is powered from your battery. Check the positive lead off your battery, does it connect to a separate terminal ? it could be broken or loose at that point.

Car dies on freeway.Never overheated!!! What could it be.I'm guessing the fuel pump

Hopefully you don"t need gas first in the tank.While driving did your motor seem to ruff suddenly and as you went slower to a stop did you pull over and turn car off? When you turned it on again did it start up really ruff without giving gas.Can be that you need a fuel injector replaced you can not clean it because it also works electronic.Toyota runs better on higher octane period.

I have a 2004 suzuki forenza it has 53000 miles on it and all of a sudden it stopped running on the freeway its acting like it is out of gas

If it acts like it's out of gas maybe it's really out of gas - the fuel pump has died or the fuel filter is clogged . Check them.

Kia Optima 2004

This could be multiple issues.
1.) timing belt
2.) Crank sensor
3.) Fuel pump (although usually they do not just die they get weak)

Check these let me know.
