On 10/19/2020 I was traveling at approximately 70 mph on an oregon state highway when my car suddenly lost all power. I had to get to the side of the road and when I looked at the dash all the indicator lights were on and my engine was not running. My car started, but I was only able to drive a few miles at low speed before it started making a horrible sound. I stopped again and was stranded without cell service and waited for assistance. A few hours later I was towed into the nearest town. They couldn't help me, so I had it towed to the nearest kia dealer (approx 200 miles). They told me the noise was caused by a worn connecting rod bearing and I needed a new engine. The estimated cost is $7,212. The kendall kia dealer in nampa, idaho and kia consumer affairs have both told me that none of the cost would be covered; I do not have an extended warranty and they will assume no responsibility. The odometer reading was 85,246 miles and it had been well maintained.

I was driving down a busy highway when I started hearing a loud noise coming from my car. Soon after this, the car stopped working. My three month old daughter was in the car. It was 10:00 pm which makes this highway much more dangerous and was going at high speeds. Was barely able to park the vehicle (thankfully I was on the right lane). I had the vehicle towed to my kia dealer and after checking the vehicle they informed be that I needed a new engine. Even though there is an engine recall for 2013 kia Sportage vehicles with the same exact problem, they claimed that my car is not included in the recall. I am now waiting to see if the warranty covers the damage. They want to inspect the engine first. Taking the engine down alone costs $1,000 if the warranty refuses to cover the repairs. My question why isn't kia repairing all vehicles with this problem?? why isn't my VIN par of the recall?? we could have lost our lives that day, including my 3 month old baby. Kia must be forced to cover the cost of replacing these faulty engines before lives are lost. Us, kia customers, should not be forced to cover the cost ourselves. My vehicle is only 75,000 miles.

My 2013 kia Sportage ex has a failed engine at 50k miles. On July 2nd, 2019 at about 1:15pm I was driving and without any warning I heard a loud sound come from the engine so I immediately pulled over and checked the engine. I saw oil pouring out of the engine block. It was towed to a local kia dealership who confirmed that engine was leaking out of a hole in the engine block. The gentleman from the service department at the local kia dealership stated that the connecting rod broke off the barring and shot out of the engine block. As I did some research this is the exact issue kia has issued recalls for to fix on kia Sportage 2011-2013 models and other models as well; however, my VIN is not included in their set of recalls. I was told to contact kia consumer affairs because my car is not under warranty because I am not the original owner as I purchased the vehicle from a dealership back in 2014 with 10k miles on it. Today is 8/19/19 and I am still waiting for a final answer regarding a good will claim from kia consumer affairs which means I am still with out my car. Kia is taking advantage of its customers by not issuing a wider recall regarding their defective engines and forcing its customers to pay for replacement engines.
