Failure Date: 01/14/2025

My grandchildren and I were on our way to the dentist, I stopped at a store, put the vehicle in park while waiting on my grandson to come out of the store. Then I proceeded to try to put the gear shift in drive but it was stuck in park. I could not remove the gear shift out of park. I was scared and so was my grandchildren.

2 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 05/23/2022

I was driving on the highway going 70 mph when my 2016 kia Sorento 3. 3l lost power and could not accelerate. I had to navigate to the side of the highway carefully and got my car towed to the closest kia dealership. Upon their investigation, it was a blown head gasket that required the whole engine to be replaced. I am the 2nd owner of the car and bought the car in late 2019 with 45, xxx miles on it and it currently only has 66, xxx miles. I was not covered under warranty as it expires once you pass 60,000k miles. Estimation from kia would cost close to $10k with a new engine/labor. Contacted kia consumer to see if they can help and was denied. Now stuck with a dead car trying to figure out what I can do.
