| Description of the problem | I took the car to the kia dealership and they tell me the engine has an oil leak. I believe their kias sportage 2011 & 2012 were also recalled for the same issue. The car has less than 100,000 miles on it and i have owned several cars before and never had an oil leak on the engine at all. They said the repairs were going to cost over $1000 to repair. I believe this car should also be recalled due that they have a history of other models having the same problem. Thank you. |
