NHTSA Complaint #11142672 — 2011 KIA SORENTO

APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS AGO MY VEHICLE BEGAN ACTING FUNNY, LIKE IT WANTED TO DIE OUT WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD CUT OUT AT RED LIGHTS. WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I TOOK IT TO A KIA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS EXHAUST CAM SHAFT AND IT WAS BROKEN OFF /MELTED IN CYLINDER HEAD. TO REPLACE HEAD HAD TO BE REMOVED. WHEN HEAD WAS REMOVED CRACKS WERE FOUND ON COILS 3 & 4 IN HOUSINGS AND NOTICED METAL SHAVINGS IN MOTOR. YESTERDAY I DROPPED AT DEALER WHO NOW SAYS VEHICLE MAY HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET OR WORSE. MADE KIA AWARE WITH 1ST ISSUE AND THEY COVERED 1/2 OF REPAIR COST. STILL HAVE AN OPEN CASE # WITH THEM AND REPORTED THE NEW ISSUE UNDER THE SAME CASE NUMBER. BROKEN AND MELTED PIECES IN CYLINDER HEAD & METAL SHAVINGS TELLS ME ENGINE ISSUES THAT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR. COULD THIS BE RELATD TO SAME ISSUE AS FIRES IN ENGINES ON 2011 SORENTOS?
