Blown head gasket and cracked engine block. We noticed a smell of burning antifreeze when we parked and got out of the car. Took it to the dealership and they said the head gasket was blown and the engine block was cracked and needed to be replaced.
There is I recall on the same year make and model of my car except the engine they say is the or cylinder and not the 6 but I have had a blown head gasket since I bought a car from a dealership certified pre owned and still paying on it however my call gets so hot that I have to pull over a lot to let it cool off and I put alot of money in antifreeze and water. They will not work with me at kia dealership they are saying theres no recall on the v6 only 4 cylinder and I dont have $3200. 00 to just pay for it to be done. Because of the same side of the head gasket being blown as the recall on the 4 cylinder as for that the recall is made because of catching fire because the head that is blown in the recall is same one as mine against the fire wall and it gets super hot like it's gonna catch fire at your feet on the inside like the 4cylinders.

My Sorento overheated and I stopped the Sorento right away . I towed it to my kia dealer and they told me I needed a new engine because the head gaskets were blown. I don't understand how my 2013 Sorento that I purchased new already needed a new engine. I had taken it to two kia dealers and they were rude about the entire situation and blamed me for the damage of the vehicle. This happened March of 2017 and I am now reading the recalls for the Sorento and there are recalls for the engine seizing but I don't understand why my Sorento isn't one of the cars being recalled if my car just seized up out of nowhere and a month prio to the incident I had an oil change and everything was fine .
