| Description of the problem | I was at a light on friday and my car just turned off. I had to push it to the gastion. When my mechanic came to look at it on friday he said that my engine locked i need a new engine. I don't understand why there wasn't a recall on my vin number but there was recalls on 2013 and 2014 kia sorento and kia soles . I have a friend of mine that has a 2013 kia sorento and he had the same issue with his engine. Is the gdi engines and that's the engine i have and is not replaceable that is so messed up. There was a replacement on all engines of gdi. Why this happening to me when i have 6 months left of payments and it's $3,500 to replace an engine this is really absurd. |
