Fitting that connects hose to radiator snapped in half causing coolant to leak and engine to overheat. Informed by repair shop that this can be temporarily fixed by installing a brass fitting using epoxy but that the only permanent repair is to replace the entire radiator.
The issue is with 2 kias I bought within the last year. Both automobiles had air conditioner compressors that failed within months of me purchasing it. The first kia I bought was a sedona 2003. The second is a Sorento 2006 I bought November 2009.
