Engine valve it's detached! car was running fine since purchased used back in oct 2019 with thirty one thousand miles. I was sold the car with the pretense of car fax and it being in good condition with only two previous owners. As of this past Monday the car was making a terrible sound from under the hood, and I had it towed to my local kia dealership this Friday. The dealership I originally purchased from have been uncooperative.
My 2015 kia Sorento started to make a loud noise from the engine without warning as I was running errands. I was close to home and able to get the car home. We had to get the car towed to a kia dealer to get "kia diagnosed" in order to be eligible for any recall or warranty. We are second owner and 94k miles so this translates to out of warranty. Regular maintenance was preformed at the dealership where we got the vehicle. It's only 5 years old and 94k miles, I believe kia has a better reputation than this. Ultimately we have a big garage bill now in addition to putting money out to buy a temporary vehicle to use while we are stuck with pausing for this kia we cant drive. In my research I gather we are not alone in premature engine failure. I expect kia will make this right eventually. In the meantime what are we supposed to do?.
