Description of the problem	On 10/19/2020 i was traveling at approximately 70 mph on an oregon state highway when my car suddenly lost all power. I had to get to the side of the road and when i looked at the dash all the indicator lights were on and my engine was not running. My car started, but i was only able to drive a few miles at low speed before it started making a horrible sound. I stopped again and was stranded without cell service and waited for assistance. A few hours later i was towed into the nearest town. They couldn't help me, so i had it towed to the nearest kia dealer (approx 200 miles). They told me the noise was caused by a worn connecting rod bearing and i needed a new engine. The estimated cost is $7,212. The kendall kia dealer in nampa, idaho and kia consumer affairs have both told me that none of the cost would be covered; i do not have an extended warranty and they will assume no responsibility. The odometer reading was 85,246 miles and it had been well maintained.
