Description of the problem	In march 2013 i had casey kia install a refurbished engine to replace my bad engine because the mileage had surpassed the warranty. Out of pocket i spent about 3300. 00. I drove this car for another six months to which i had no known issues until on november 19, 2013. It started binding and hard shifting from 2-3 gear. Fluid was also on radiator. Casey also installed radiator at the time the engine was installed. They said in their report they replaced all fluids and replaced filters. Come to find out when i took this vehicle to ammoco transmission on november, 19, 2013 that not only was the transmission bad but radiator was bad.. No engine light was on at any time. They did a complete 100 point system check come to find out casey kia installed engine incorrectly leaving the engine light completely off so that if i had any issues what so ever that i would be forced to pay more out of pocket for intensive repairs to my vehicle. This car became so unsafe to drive that i was forced to have to trade it in to hall hyundai which of course i got 1800. 00 for a 10,000. 00 vehicle. Not only did i have to give up my favorite vehicle i was forced into having to buy a car i did not like and did not want.. Because i needed immediate transportation due to being military.. I reported this issue to the kia corporation which they are investigating. I have complete reports from ammoco and the fact that i had to redo the fluids and redo the oil changes after it came out of casey kia hands . This vehicle has engine severe transmission electrical dashboard issues and is not certified preowned.. And if is a lie.. Thank you for your time and if you need to contact me please do i have all the maintenance history on this vehicle and its not pretty..[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
