| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
My 2019 kia Sedona showed the exact same symptoms for the oil pressure switch recall red oil light on the dash and a leaking oil pressure switch. 2010 to 2018 Sedona why was the 2019 model not added to the list.
Oil consumption high and engine needs to be replaced after 75k miles.
Engine failed. Hole in bottom engine housing approx. 2x2”.
The engine seems to be burning oil. After my last oil change, I had to replace three quarts of oil after driving 2,500 miles. Once previously, the engine oil got dangerously low (no oil showing on dipstick) even without the vehicle giving any indication of low oil. This could lead to engine failure while operating the vehicle, which could have disastrous consequences.
My car made a rattling noise when hitting the accelerator. The mechanic said that I only had one quart of oil left in my engine. No sign of leaks and no error codes. The engine light never came on. The oil has been changed regularly. The mechanic said the pistons were not firing correctly.
The contact owned a 2019 kia Sedona. The contact stated while driving 70 mph up a hill, he heard an abnormal noise and then the vehicle seized. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the size of the vehicle and when exiting the vehicle felt heat exiting under the vehicle. The contact stated he saw fire located on the engine. The contact extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher he had available. The fire department filed a fire report. The contact stated an ambulance was able to attempt him and transport to the hospital for smoke and fire extinguisher chemical in his lungs. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to unknown location by the insurance company and deemed the vehicle was a total loss. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000. The VIN was not available.
Tl-the contact owns a 2019 kia Sedona. The contact stated that while trying to accellerate to make a pass the vehicle lost power and started to sputter and jerk. The contact was able to pull off the freeway and carefully drive home after stopping and restarting the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer pitri kia 9640 eagle ranch rd. Northwestalbuquerque, nm 87114 877-468-0639. They performed a diagnostic test but could not duplicate the issue. They went on a test drive with the contact and dismissed the issue as normal. The manufacturer stated that there was nothing they could do unless the dealer can duplicate the issue. The vehicle was still unrepaired at this time. The failure mileage was 400. Tf.
Purchased new. @ 7400 miles while driving on the highway it smelled like something was burning. Took it to dealership who stated cylinder head was leaking antifreeze. Entire engine had to be rebuilt (all heads/gaskets exchanged). 7800 miles fluid levels bottomed out. Dealer stated car hadn't �burped� from gasket repair. 9300 miles while city driving the blind spot collision warnings started yelling. I placed the car in park and turned it off. When I turned it back on the car said possible transmission failure and I could not shift. Popped the shift lock release to get vehicle into drive to bring for service. Dealer stated inhibitor switch failed causing the issues with the blind spot collision warnings and the shift lockout. Unacceptable in new vehicle under 10k miles.
Something is wrong with my engine or transmission whichever which one it is I do not know I've taken it to the dealer 5 or more times they cannot duplicate the problem or the or they say it's operating as assigned how's the car operating as designed when the vehicle soon as you push the accelerator at bucks it jerks it hesitates to go and that one that goes it takes offit also does the same thing when slowing down in a buck little jerk and then downshift very hard this is very dangerous when driving during certain conditions.
