6 Loud Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2018

My Soul began to make a terrible noise at 52,000 miles. Took it to the dealer because we had purchased the additional warranty to extend it to 100,000 and was told the engine bearings had failed. The mechanic at the dealership said he didn't see much sludge in the engine and couldn't see a reason why kia would deny the claim. Although the oil had been changed appropriately we couldn't produce all the documentation on the spot. The local dealership took video and sent in to kia, we were told that kia would not honor their warranty and we were on our own.
