Consumer Description

Engine, electrical, and powertrain is faulty on this 2014 KIA Cadenza and many other models of this same vehicle. After researching for alternate engines or engine replacement, there are many Cadenzas experiencing the same issues and are often parked due to these issues with no maintenance or replacement options as a result of the cost being way too high. When KIA was contacted, they replied that they do not have engine replacements and that servicing of the vehicle expires after the car is paid off.
