NHTSA Complaint #11152542 — 2011 KIA SORENTO

MY KIA HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP REPAIR FACILITY SINCE JULY 1ST 28. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE TWICE. MY ORIGINAL ID COMPLAINT # WITH NHTSA IS NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11142672. I STILL HAVE AN OPEN COMPLAINT WITH KIA THAT HAS BEEN ONGOING. DUE TO MELTED PARTS CONNECTED TO THE ENGINE THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED A COUPLE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE GOING IN THIS TIME. NOW I AM BEING TOLD THE ENGINE MATING SURFACE IS AN ISSUE. THE CYLINDER HEAD IS WARPED & THE BLOCK IS WARPED. HOW? I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS CAR HOT THAT I AM AWARE OF! THIS IS A 2011 KIA THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL FOR ENGINE ISSUES BUT IS STILL BEING PUSHED FOR RECALL BY NHTSA...WHAT DO I DO NOW IF KIA WON'T REPLACE THE MOTOR? THERE ARE ONLY 77K MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I BOUGHT IT WITH 900 MILES ON IT. I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM KIA. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS! KIA KNOWS VERY WELL THERE ARE PROBLEMS WITH THESE MOTORS AND FEELS CONTENT TO SIT BACK AND LET PEOPLE'S HARD EARNED MONEY RESULT IN A NON-DRIVEABLE VEHICLE. I HAVE BABIED THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE DAY I GOT IT. THIS ISSUE IS THROUGH NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THIS IS ON THEM. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING. A $25K VEHICLE WITH 77K MILES SHOULD NOT NEED A NEW MOTOR!
