    In Sept 2022 my 2017 Kia Sorento GDI engine had caught fire as we were driving home. I had driven it that morning with no issues and no issues up until the accident.

    Apparently an engine met its demise when the software fix (offered free) wasn't realized and implemented in time in accordance with a recall. Who better to describe the issue than Motor City's own lemon law attorney and consumer advocate Steve Lehto:

    I have an opportunity to buy a 2016 Sorrento Sx with 65,000 miles at a really good deal from my parents. Has anyone had a good experience with their Sorrento into higher milage 100k plus?

    Hi, I have a long standing problem with my 2011 Kia Sportage 2.0 CRDI awd 100kw that has been going on for over two years that I have been dealing with and fixing it. It is going to beat me to the ground, but I have to finish it. In the time I've been working on it: the timing chains have...

    So I have a 2015 sportage and the engine seized at 104k miles.

    I bought my 2015, 6 cylinder Kia Sorento less than two years ago. At that point it had 87,000 miles on it (so clearly outside of the 60,000 miles warranty). Last weekend my car left me unsafetly stranded after the wheel wouldn’t turn and the breaks locked. Managed to get a mechanic out and...
