| Description of the problem | 2015 kia sorento awd engine seized. I was driving and without and warning the car shut down and wont start. I found out this is not new. Now i have to find out how to continue to take care of my wife and kids without a car. I've seen so many complaints about the engine i have and there has been no investigation and this is a dangerous situation recalls for the same thing have been sent out but not for the 2015 kia sorento. I really hope some one does something about this. I was on a busy road slowing down for a red light and car shut off almost hitting the car in front of me. Again no warnings. I also smelled smoke like wires burning. |
