Consumer Description

SAW THAT MY CAR WAS LEAKING OIL; TOOK IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT, THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE OIL PAN WAS LEAKING FROM SEVERAL AREAS AND THERE WAS OIL ALL OVER THE OIL PAN ITSELF. DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW THAT SOME KIA SPORTAGES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM. CALLED KIA AND THEY SAID MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A 2013 NOT A 2012. THEY TOLD ME I WILL HAVE TO GET IT FIX MYSELF AND PAY FOR IT - KEEP THE RECEIPTS IN CASE IT IS EVER RECALLED.
