Consumer Description

My car started overheating, then started a clicking noise and smoking. Took it to the Jackson, MI KIA dealership. Service Tech said I have a blown head gasket, but KIA discontinued the V6 motor, so I can’t get a new motor. I searched online, found out the V6 motor was discontinued because of this very issue. There was a class action lawsuit/settlement, but it was before I purchased this vehicle. What if anything can be done ? I feel duped. None of the salespeople told me about this issue.
