Consumer Description
My car only has 77398 miles and the entire car lost power while I was driving I had to safely coast into a parking space. The engine is making a knocking sound and the battery light and oil light came on. The car has had every oil change on time and documented since it left the dealership in 2014 with 150 miles. Every service has been performed on time as my mother who is a retired veteran of the airforce is the only owner. She gave me the car less than 3 weeks ago. I called my mechanic immediately after I brought the vehicle to a stop and he said this model is known for that and it means the engine is about to blow up. He advised me not to attempt to drive the car and now I am stranded 8 miles from where I live. I have read many forums about the engine problem. I believe a faulty engine is to blame for this incident. I read about kia extending the warranty on this but you are the only organization I know to contact.
