| Description of the problem | My kia sorrento v6 motor is going out it's been parked sence may of 2018. The lower rod bears are going out. Contacted kia and recall is only on 4 cylinders and stated that no other complaints on v6. It's just unreal that 174,000 miles and egine going out for same thing that the recall was for. We drove to the store and i head a noice that's when i went home and check it out had it looked at by couple mechanics and told me to park it it was rod bearings sent video to kia dealer and they confirmed what i was already told motor shot. Cost too much for me to replace motor so it's just sitting there paying on a car i cant do anything with. The cost for replacement is 7500 to 8500 that's not in my budget. |
