Consumer Description

AT 101,000 MILES THE ENGINE BLEW UP. AS I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD ILLUMINATED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. I HAD OUR VAN TOWED TO THE NEAREST KIA DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD, 3 DAYS LATER, THAT OUR ENGINE BLEW UP. I CAME ACROSS A RECENT RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE FROM KIA WITH THE SORENTO.
