My 2017 V6 Kia Sorento had its engine seize as I was driving in a dangerous location for a car to be stranded - no warning of any potential for failure. Paid for a tow to have a mechanic tell me the engine burned all but.5 qts of oil, even though I get routine oil canges. Kia cust srvc stated I needed another diagnostics exam by a kia dealership. So after paying for a tow to the Kia Mech and paying for the new diagnostics test to the independent kia dealer, I was quoted $10k for an engine replacement. For a kia engine that seized. Even after I did allll the right things when it came to maintaining the vehicle. After researching, I found several class action lawsuits in regard to my situation. I filed a claim for the lawsuit but my vehicle isn't eligible b/c it's a 6-cylinder. Kia offered me a $1.5k trade-in for my now kia sorento paperweight. Kia will not take any responsibility for knowingly manufacturing and selling a product that burns the entire amount of oil in the engine, regardless of regular maintenance. So I am stuck holding the bag for the original mech's diagnosis, towing fees, the kia dealer's diagnosis, the new car loan I know must get, the remaining $8k due on my existing loan plus an 8% interest rate regardless of my 800 credit score.

KIA IS A BUNCH OF COWARDLY CRIMINALS THAT SELL FAULTY CARDS TO FULL-TIME WORKING MOTHERS WITH 3 KIDS AT HOME

Claimed loss: 4/17/2024

Desired outcome: Kia claims responsibility for this failure/ financial compensation for both diagnoses, towing, and replacing my engine free of charge OR compensation for the remaining amount on my existing car loan in full
