Vehicle Overheat Problems of Kia Motor Sorento

My car started overheating all of a sudden with no alerts or warnings. My vehicle is 2016 kia Sorento sx v6 with 3. 3l engine 6 cylinderi bought the vehicle used but it had been serviced faithfully with records from kia but being a second owner the power train warranty stops at 60,000 miles instead of 100, 000 miles if I were original owner. I bought it from a reliable dealership which it had 81,300 miles at time I bought and only has 85 ,000 miles now but we don't drive it that much and have owned it for 6 months . Now kay has had several complaints about the 2016 sx awd Sorento but 111 complaints on this particular engine . I was told at the dealership to repair that it had blown head gasket because the bolts had backed out. So kia basically says they are not responsible because I am not original owner so no warranty now. The dealership tells me no motors available because they all have been brought back in to be retooled do it shows there has been an issue but still no recall. I bought a coverage warranty with car shield but they don't want to pay because the dealership can only repair head gasket and can not warrant the work because if it having aluminum head but I have a vehicle me that I owe 19,000 dollars on and have been asked to pay for my repairs now. Kia needs held responsible and pay up to the power train of 100,000 miles . 111 complaints on this engine is enough to say let's help these people . . . I will never purchase another kia product due to the poor attitudes. Of service department and kia in general. Word of mouth is best advertisement negative or positive for kia and car shield both of them. This is happening under 88,000 miles on majority of these motors. They need held responsible and forced to bring in a recall and repay the ones that have to pay out of pocket for their piece of crap engines which they no longer putting them in the new kia .

Vehicle overheated one time and numerous items damaged. I get routine oil changes and maintenance. Bolts backed out of engine and misthreaded. No fire, although I stopped driving it instantly. Had to repair several items. I believe this vehicle is too new to be having these damages. When I ran the VIN# there is no recalls. Ryan knizevski.

Like many 2003 kia Sorento owners the overflow tank in mine developed a crack in the bottom that is only visible when it is pressurized. Although kia knows there is a problem with the overflow tank in most if not all 2003 kia Sorento's and has sent out a TSB to their mechanics over how to replace it. As soon as my car had overheated due to the leak, I had to pay around $100 to buy a new tank from the nearest dealership but alas after over heating my car developed more problems and engine having to be thrown out. This has cost me over $4300 in repairs so far, and have not been able to drive the car I am still making monthly payments on in nine months. None of which are covered to the warranty due to their "10 year 100,000 mile" powertrain warranty not being transferable to those who buy the car used.
