Consumer Description

WITH APPROXIMATELY 78,200 MILES ON THE ENGINE I WAS OUT AND ABOUT RUNNING NORMAL ERRANDS WHEN IT COMPLETELY STALLED OUT ON ME. DIDN'T TAKE A JUMP SO HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. FOLLOWING MORNING IT'S STARTED ON ITS OWN BUT THE DAMAGE COULD BE HEARD. NO PREVIOUS NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE, OIL CHANGES UP TO DATE AND RELATIVELY ON TIME. OUT OF WARRANTY (2ND OWNER); EXCLUDED FROM RECALL EVEN THOUGH PROBLEM IS THE EXACT SAME AS WHAT WAS LISTED. KIA ONLY OFFERED $1000 OFF REPAIRS
