NHTSA Complaint #11122419 — 2013 KIA SORENTO

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A ROUTE 30 IN GREENSBURG, PA AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THERE WAS A SLIGHT CLICKING NOISE AND THEN SILENCE. NO NOISE. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT WORK. THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK. I WAS ABLE TO COAST INTO THE MALL PARKING LOT. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO ALLWINE CURRY AUTO SEVICE, A LOCAL GARAGE, FOR EVALUATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE WAS SHOT AND THAT A USED ONE COULD BE INSTALLED FOR $3500. WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE USED FROM SMAIL KIA IN MAY 2017. WE HAVE OUR OIL CHANGED EVERY 6000 MILES. WE HAVE NOT HAD A OIL LIGHT COME ON OR ANY WARNING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.
