NHTSA Complaint #11172249 — 2013 KIA SORENTO

ENGINE WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL IN OCT 2017. EVER SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MY ENGINE LIGHT COME ON FOR EVAP LEAKS. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY EITHER SAY THEY FOUND A LEAK AND FIXED IT OR TELL ME THEY CAN'T FIND A LEAK. LIGHT WILL COME BACK ON WITHIN A FEW DAYS TO A FEW WEEKS. NEW ENGINE ONLY HAD 12MONTH/12,000 MILE WARRANTY ON IT EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER MILEAGE FOR INITIAL WARRANTY (AT 80,000 NOW) THEY CLAIM MY CAR IS NOT UNDER THE NEW RECALL AND IS NOT A FIRE RISK. HAVE SMELLED FUEL ONCE. LIGHT IS CURRENTLY ON, DEALER AND KIA HAVE BEEN NO HELP AND SINCE NEW WARRANTY IS UP THEY HAVE STARTED WANTING ME TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIRS.
