Engine failure. I bought this vehicle as used vehicle on Feb 9,2019. It had approx. 123000 miles and on March 15, 2019, the engine failed without any warning. And vehicle stalled all of sudden, had to spend $3450 to replace it with 2012 kia hybrid engine. I am not sure the cause of engine failure. But the mechanic said the engine block had cracked and had two holes on either sides(image attached). Need justice! can you help NHTSA? please reach me - 313-649-0090.
