| Description of the problem | Vehicle stopped running without any warning, kia diagnosed it as engine failure requiring new engine and would not consider any portion of the repair cost as its obligation even though it would be warrantied to a first owner well beyond the approximately 74,000 miles it has. Ultimately, gave a few hundred dollars towards a trade. I have attached the disputed case information. |
