| Description of the problem | January 10, 2020 had the recalls on my car checked. Nothing was wrong. While driving home february 28, 2020, my car started to make a horrible knocking noise. I was only about 2 miles from home. Pulled in and turned car off. Contact kia was told to bring car in the next morning that there was a lifetime warranty on the motor. Start the car and drive 2 miles, the check engine like started blinking, oil pressure light came on, car died and never has started back. Asked the kia dealer if they were able to provide me with a loaner car and was told no. First i was out a $300 towing bill because they never ever checked out the engine recall, and now i am out another $300 on a rental. |
