Consumer Description

I TOOK THE CAR TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THE ENGINE HAS AN OIL LEAK. I BELIEVE THEIR KIAS SPORTAGE 2011 & 2012 WERE ALSO RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD AN OIL LEAK ON THE ENGINE AT ALL. THEY SAID THE REPAIRS WERE GOING TO COST OVER $1000 TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE THIS CAR SHOULD ALSO BE RECALLED DUE THAT THEY HAVE A HISTORY OF OTHER MODELS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU.
