Consumer Description

We bought this van in September of 2023. No known issues… we’ve kept up on regular oil changes etc. Over a month ago a slight tap started happening when vehicle started up, took it three places and all 3 said we needed a new engine. We just hit 100k…. Within two days of those opinions, engine seized while I was driving. No injuries but a car this new with no known issues this is not ok. Zero lights came on the dashboard. No check engine light, nothing. It’s been in a shop for over a month while we wait for a new engine to come in. Would never ever buy another Kia. Dealership and two local places both told us they do not know what happened or why this happened.
