Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2012 Kia Motor Sportage

My car has been recalled in relation to an oil leak which can cause stalling, engine to seize or car fire. Have inquired to the dealer several times. Global auto mall in north plainfield to no avail.

Driving westbound on i70 on June 3, in warrenton mo, my 2012 kia Sportage suddenly lost all power at highway speed. I quickly pulled off the highway as the engine shut down and I coasted into a gas station. The car would not restart. I hired a tow truck and had the Sportage towed 45 minutes away to jim butler kia. The next morning, the service manager informed me my engine had siezed and needed to be replaced. Kia will not warranty the engine even though they have replaced about 1. 7 million 4 cyclinder engines for my model year kia and other years as well. There is an open recall for my Sportage which I was never notified of for oil leaks that can cause engine failure. I have requested help from kia but they refuse to help me even though the car is within warranty time and miles but I am the second owner. Other 2nd owners have been covered and had their engines replaced at no charge I have read online many times. Kia knows they had a problem with millions upon millions of 4cyl and 6 cyl engines and replaced them but are for some reason refusing to help me with mine, even though I can prove I did the required maintenance. I was lucky I was able to pull off i70 without being rear ended by one of many 18 wheelers speeding by. I just want my car fixed like the millions of others like mine were!!.

Hi, on 04/24/2020 while driving on the highway at 60mph my kia broke down completely and lost the acceleration, a lot of oil was dripping from under the kia, and a lot of smoke came out from the hood. I brought my mechanic and confirmed me the engine blew out due to an oil leaking. I send the SUV to kia dealer in cerritos, CA as it had an open recall due to an oil pan issue. They just notified me the dpsm manager review my case and declined repairs under warranty. All that info was provided to me by victor representative at kia dealer. And I requested via email a report of the reason from the refusal to repair the engine. Victor did not provided me no report and just texted me it was due to a connecting rod that went through and block, and it was a lack of lubrication. That sounds hard to believe from my side and my mechanic as no engines fail due to a connecting rod issue. That's for I'm submitting this claim. I had a case number just incase is needed #13629204 and my contact info is per below if you need to reach me. Name: alam gutierrez tel# 323-532-4334 email: alamxr@gmail. Com.

The oil pan is leaking oil.

Engine is locked up according to dealer. Oil pan leaking.

Driving on a southern California freeway on July 28, 2019, the engine of our 2012 kia Sportage suddenly stalled. Brought it to the garden grove kia dealer the next day and met their service advisor martha gudino. She promised that the dealer would let us know by 2p what the issue was. She didn't call until after 4p with bad news: a new engine was needed for the princely sum of $9,087. 60 plus tax! in hindsight, we now know that martha was probably huddling with management on a strategy of disinformation. Not only did she not mention that there was an oil leak recall on this model but she said nothing about the ongoing class action suits, the car fire reports, and the 21 engine complaints lodged on carcomplaints. Com. When we picked up the car the next day, I, of course, mentioned the class action suit filed by andrea smolek and the numerous complaints mentioning exactly what our service advisor had described: "oil was black and slight sludged [sic]. Oil control valve (ocv) had sludge and metal shavings. " the service manager � gudino was nowhere in sight � remained silent about the issue and just collected his $129. 00 for the diagnosis, which would have been refunded had we forked over that $10,000 they wanted for a new engine. We didn't pay and had the car transported back to las vegas.

My 2012 kia Sportage stopped abruptly on the right hand side of interstate 295 in NJ. I was just before the #20 exit. A large amount of oil drained from under my car. I called aaa and had it towed to kia in cherry hill NJ. I was told the engine was completely ruined. It would cost me $6000. For a new engine. I had gone to kia initially about three weeks ago5/15/19 because I received NHTSA recall 19v101 and I was having some problems with my car. I had to keep putting oil into it. And it did not drive well. They had never heard of the recall but checked my car and said that the oil had been leaking out of the engine and was allover the underbody of the car. Inside the oil was badly mucked up and had to be thoroughly cleaned out and they had to take the engine out to do this. They would also replace the spark plugs although they were not bad but they had the engine out. It was called a defudge on the engine. This cost me $1,600. 00 but they gave me a deal of $1,300 because I am a nice old lady. And they wanted to give me a break. The car was not good, it sputtered, and puffed out smoke as drove. It would not start right, and in town driving it would stall and sputter. I returned to kia on 5/21/19. They recleaned it again. It continued to have problems and sputter when stating up. The day before the engine light went on but then went off again. 6/6/19 aaaflat bed delivered car to kia and it is immobile. I am 74 years old I called kia by 9:00am I was told to call aaa and they arrived at 10:53. I had been on the highway side of the road for 31/2 hr. I was in kia for 6 hours waiting. I have had 4 kias and never had this problem. There was not any indication given to me that the engine was in jeopardy. Only thing that was mentioned was they were trying not to have to replace some hoses? they are trying to help me out with the cost. It has 109. + miles.

Premature bearing wear in engine. Bearing broken, hole in the engine. Car cut off in the middle of the highway and started leaking oil. Had to manually push vehicle onto the side of the road to safety. There is a safety recall for this make/model/year but not for this specific VIN number.
