NHTSA Complaint #11243104 — 2013 KIA SORENTO

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD AAA COME OUT AND THEY SAID THE BATTERY WAS LIKE NEW AND THE OIL WAS GOOD, SO THEY TOWED IT TO A DEALER WHO TOLD ME THE ENGINE SEIZED. THEY COULD NOT FIND A REASON WHY THE 6 YEAR OLD CARS ENGINE JUST RANDOMLY SEIZED. I FOUND OUT THEY'RE RECALLED FOR THAT. HOWEVER KIA IS SAYING MY PARTICULAR CAR IS NOT COVERED AND WANTS TO CHARGE ME $6,800.00 TO PUT A USED ENGINE IN. I STILL HAVE OVER A YEAR OF CAR PAYMENTS AND NO CAR. I USE MY CAR EVERYDAY FOR MY JOB.
