WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 KIA SORENTO DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STARTED TO RATTLE AND I WAS LOSING POWER IT WOULD NOT GO WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS THEIR WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANYTHING ON THE THE DASH LIGHTING UP SAYING THEIR WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ENGINE WHEN IT QUIT RUNNING ONLY THEN THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AFTER IT ALREADY DIED I WAS ONLY GOING 50 MPH IT IS A GOOD THING IT DID NOT DIE AT THE INTERSECTION THIS CAR ONLY HAS 55,448 ON IT AND I WAS TOLD BY THE KIA DEALERSHIP THAT IT WILL NEED A NEW ENGINE THAT WILL COST OVER 6,000 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT PROVIDE A COPY OF THE SERVICE ORDER STATING WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SORENTO, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE REQUESTED ONE TO SEND WITH THIS CORRESPONDENCE SEVERAL TIMES. I CALLED KIA AND THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL. THEY MAKE UNSAFE CARS AND WILL NOT HELP YOU AT ALL. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT BUY A KIA.
