NHTSA Complaint #11268860 — 2011 KIA SORENTO

WE HAVE TAKEN OUR 2011 KIA SORENTO TO MULITPLE DEALERSHIPS TO GET FIXED. ALL SAY THE ENGINE IS SHOT. THERE IS A SEAL INSIDE THE ENGINE THAT IS MAKING THE VEHICLE NOT WORK. THERE IS MULTIPLE RECALLS FOR OTHER YEARS OF THE KIA SORENTO BUT NOT OURS. THE MECHANICS SAY THAT THIS YEAR AND MAKE HAS HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE. I AM WONDERING WHEN THIS YEAR WILL BE RECALLED FOR ENGINE ISSUES? WHEN I START THE 2011 KIA IS SPUDDERS AND BLOWS SMOKE OUT THE MUFFLER. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SPUDDERING AND SMOKE HAPPENS RIGHT WHEN I START THE VEHICLE. IT IS A 2011 AND I ONLY HAVE 96K MILES ON IT.
