From what I've learned with my most recent engine issue, it's something that Kia tells everyone it is "Normal" and from the popularity of this common issue, it's become clear to me that there is no fix even though it certainly is faulty as they don't have this issue when they are new. Wouldn't this somehow be able to be linked to the lemon law since it's irreparable and they refused to come up with a remedy for it? Is there such a thing as a class action lemon law case where they would be forced to do the right thing and buy these heaping piles of garbage back from pretty much every 3.3L that they built since they're all now failing in other ways which could possibly be related.
Mine has since developed a lower end "Kia Rod Knock" due to a failed connecting rod bearing so it's been sitting for almost a year as I won't pay 10k dollars for a used motor to be put into it. If I'm going to spend that much money, it isn't going to be on my Kia or any other Kia for that matter as it would be much smarter to spend that much money on something that I can trust to last me more than a year. So pretty much it just sits there and rusts until I can actually have the title and get rid of it. I very much feel robbed and my opinion of the brand will stick with me for a lifetime for the way they've chosen to handle the millions of vehicle with failing engines.
They've got no shame as they deny a warrantee claim and quote them for a repair that costs more than the vehicle is worth. Their actions truly say the truth in the kind of company they are and that's more than plenty for me to stay away from anything they put their name on. Only thing they've proven is the fact that they shouldn't be trusted, they'll continue to rob each and every customer because they will of course deny any accountability when it comes to fixing any problem that they themselves created. They're a bunch of cowards and I hope everyday that they fail as that's really the only way that they can be stopped from what I can see.
