Description of the problem	My name is [xxx] . My daughter had a 2013 sorrento... Took great care and did the scheduled oil changes ... Now i have the vehicle because she died 2017. Did not drive it much.. It has around 40000 miles . 2018 the engine froze up. I could start it. I had it towed to the canton michigan kia dealership ... I was told they would put a new engine in because it's their fault. Just need to have the proper procedures to get an approval from kia... After weeks they came back and said no unless i can prove every 6 months she and myself had scheduled oil changes. I'm 90 years old and trying to call the different kia dealerships to get records. And i had other people do oil changes. I would not buy an sorrento. I put to batteries in it thinking my problem with the car was that. Now the car is sitting in the dealership.
