Description of the problem	my response is to the person who filed the below complaint: mine was 2004 same exact thing happened to me 6500. For new engine! Absolutely nothing was covered by kia excuse after excuse i also had all records on the car. I also had in writing ten days before proof that their was not a crack in reservoir because i had service done---kia's response was that i must have known i had issues with the car if i took it in for service... Mind you this was my normal 3 month-3000 mile normal routine check up........... Kia is horrible...... I am on board with you for class action suit to get my money back that they should have paid for!!! My 2003 kia sorento stopped with no warning or indication of a problem at 67,735 miles due to what was later determined to be engine overheating. At first the kia dealer said it was due to the coolant reservoir cracking and going empty. Since this is not a part of the engines actual means of cooling, they changed their story to the thermostat failed. Kia said that this portion of the warranty passed at 65,000 miles. Their warranty says 100,000 miles. Cost over $3,600. 00 to repair, similar situation at 80,000 miles for $1,400. 00. Still no warranty coverage. I have furnished complete maintenance records showing maintenance at every interval required by kia. Looking for some one to join in a class action suit.
