Oil sludge is building up in the engine. The oil has been changed as required and the engine flushed to no avail. Antwerpen kia dealership is refusing to honor the vehicle warranty and repair or replace the engine.
One of the main concerns/failure is a front end bobbling noise when driving on uneven pavement. The dealer states they know of the problem but they don't know how to fix it. Originally they replaced the front struts and 2 engine mounts as these were cracked. The noise is still there and my dealer is at a loss on how to fix it. Kia-forums.

Had engine and trans problems at 1200 mi. Found metal in engine and could not explain why. Have had recurring problems with brakes/rotors in which have had rotors replaced and new pads as well. Has had vibration in engine on other occasions in which found crack in spark plug. Interior lights would not work. My van would not start one day and had to have it towed to kia in lex and they had it for several days and was never given a reasonable answer to what it was that caused it to not start. The dealership has been friendly and helpful, however to many occurrences for any new vehicle so plan to start litigation to declare it a lemon!.
While driving at 30 mph smoke was coming from under the hood. The consumer pulled over, popped the hood, and noticed fire on top of the engine.
