Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING DOWN A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE THE MOTOR STARTED MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND THEN IT SEIZED UP LEAVING MY FAMILY STRANDED DURING A VERY COLD WINTER NIGHT. WE HAD TO SIT ON THE INTERSTATE AND WAIT ON A TOW TRUCK WHILE HOPING WE DIDN'T GET HIT BY A TRUCK. KIA HAS TOLD US THAT THE OUR MOTOR IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECAL THAT THEY HAVE FOR THE OTHER KIA SORENTOS, BUT THE RECALL IS FOR THE EXACT SAME THING THAT THEY HAVE A RECALL FOR. I AM INCLUDING PICTURES OF THE MOTOR.
