need some major help,
my sx is 2011 and barely 45k miles on it and the engine gave gave up, rattled like hell, lost all power and torque. Only had it 17months
Here's my story...last year changed the oil at a 3rd party around 33k, they said i had an oil leak so took it to kia 3 subsequent times because they couldn't fix the leak properly...so 4 sets of new oil in this last year, 3 under warranty due to the repairs.
Had the car towed to them, they said they HAVENT actually taken the engine apart to see what caused it to fail and are ASSUMING that is was a clogged up oil filter!!! surely impossible after all those changes of oil within 12k miles?! so they are blaming me for lack of maintenance that they won't replace the engine under warranty ::crying:: and then they said they don't change the filter when they emptied and redone the oil...i maybe a woman but i know about cars and what dumbarse changes oil without a new filter in those 3 times?
I am going mad...this is our main car, and with 2 very young kids, we don't have the money to spend what, nearly 5/10k on an engine in a 3yr old car.....especially after spending 25k on what we thought will be a super reliable car with that warranty
Someone help?! hopefully im not the only one thinking wtf?
