Consumer Description
My car engine seized on the freeway while going 75mph, almost causing an accident. My mechanic said it was an engine recall issue seen often in KIAs. Premature engine barring wearing. I had my car towed to the kia dealership and they confirmed that I had the same problem from the recalls and assumed my KIA was included but was 151,000 miles and they couldn't move forward because it needed to be 150,000 miles. I called customer service to get a goodwill extention of repair for my car as I had NEVER received a recall notice for this issue. Customer service called back later telling me my car was not included in that recall. My car exhibited the same defect as thousands of others and since 2017 I was not notified of potential safety issues.
