Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW FROM KIA OF CLARKSVILLE. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD A TICK I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. AT 88,000 MILES MY CAR LOCKED UP. JUST DRIVING UP A SMALL HILL IT STARTED KNOCKING LOUD AND LOST POWER. TOOK IT TO KIA THEY WANT 6000.00 TO REPAIR IT WITH A JUNK YARD MOTOR. HOW DO THEY SELL FAULTY ENGINES AND GET AWAY WITH IT. I TOOK GOOD CARE OF MY CAR AND OIL CHANGES WHEN DUE. I'M SO UPSET THAT AS A CONSUMER WE HAVE NO PROTECTION AGAINST THIS.
