2015 kia Sedona ex with 36,600+ miles had critical engine failure. The kia Sedona was purchased with 32,470 on 1/042021. The engine seized on April 15 2023 while driving to a religious meeting. Fortunately when the engine failed I was able to maneuver to a parking spot that was open as the vehicle came to a stop. Initially I thought it was the battery and I took the next day to change the battery but the engine would not crank over or start. The Sedona was towed to an independent repair shop that was affiliated with the warranty company on April 17 after I called for roadside assistance through the warranty company. The engine is inspected and taken apart to see the cause of the engine failure. The mechanic/repair shop notifies the warranty company that engine had seized and the warranty company orders an inspection. I was authorized to attain a rental car on the April 24 until the inspection was completed. I waited for the the warranty company to send an inspector throughout that week. On April 28 I communicated with the mechanic/repair shop as to the status of the my vehicle and the results of the inspection. I was told that the engine failed because of the crank shaft and piston rods and bearings seizing/breaking. I was then told that this problem was an issue that many other kias and hyundais were having with their engines, and that engine parts were not available and that engines were also not available due to the number of failures that the manufacturer is currently working with. As I did research on this issue with the engine, I find out that there is a class action lawsuit with regards to other kia and Hyundai engine failure with the same type of damage. I am requesting help or assistance from your agency to help me become a plaintiff in this same lawsuit, so that I can be part of this lawsuit and have my engine repaired/replaced. Please call or email me with any information regarding this lawsuit or how to proceed in getting my engine r I.
