| Description of the problem | I bought a kia soul about 4 months ago from private dealer, i spent over 1200 dollars on fixing it so for. But i went in for a oil change and to see what this loud noise was and the mechanic stop with the oil change because he spotted metal in the oil and told me to take it to the kia dealer. As soon as i turn in the dealership the car stops. They tell me the motors gone and that they cant cover it. Even though 2015 1. 6l engine is doing the same thing. |
