| Description of the problem | My 2013 kia sportage with 66,000 miles started to make a loud noise as i was driving the car. I pulled in to a mechanic shop immediately. Mechanic advised engine trouble and recommended to tow the car to the dealer. The dealers is currently holding the car and will advise. His initial thought was the engine needs to be replaced. At 66,000 miles what a big dissapointment. |
