FIRST NOTED THE COOLANT CONTAINER WAS CONTAMINATED WITH OIL AND SLUDGE.  ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS SLUDGED, DID NOT KNOW WHY.  I HAD THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FLUSHED AND ALL NEW FLUIDS REPLACED.  2 WEEKS LATER, AGAIN, THE SLUDGE APPEARED AND COOLANT CONTAINER FILLED WITH OIL AND COOLANT HOSE BURNED THROUGH DUE TO THE OIL.  THE COOLANT HOSE WAS REPLACED. AND AGAIN I HAD THE ENTIRE SYSTEM FLUIDS FLUSHED.   AGAIN, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH SLUDGE  BUT THIS TIME AS I WAS DRIVING THE CAR 2 MILES FROM MY HOME TO A MAIN STREET BANK, SMOKE CAME FROM THE HOOD.  OPENED THE HOOD, SMOKE COMING OUT FROM ENGINE, AND A SLUDGE SUBSTANCE EXPLODED THROUGHOUT THE  CAR AND OOZED OUT OF THE CAR.  COULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO ENGINE SEIZE CONCERNS.  CAR WAS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED- OIL CHANGES REGULARLY, INSPECTIONS ETC.  I WAS TOLD I'D HAVE TO POSSIBLY GET A NEW ENGINED, OR AT THE LEAST HAVE TWO HEAD GASKETS REPLACED AT A COST OF $5,500.  DESPITE KIA TOUTING THE 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, AND AFTER WEEKS OF TRYING TO GET THE DEALER TO FIX IT, THEN WENT UP THE CORPORATE LADDER SPEAKING WITH CORPORATE, I WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT APPLY TO ME BECAUSE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER!!!!  THIS DESPITE THE FACT THAT  I PURCHASED THE CAR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM THE KIA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY THAT APPLIED- THAT THIS WAS A SELLING FEATURE!!!     I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS WHILE I TRIED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH KIA- BUT THEY REFUSED.  THERE WAS A 2014 RECALL ON THE SAME CAR, AND THIS CAR WAS A 2015, MANUFACTURED IN 2014.  I OWED $9,000 ON THE CAR!!!!  NEEDING A CAR, I BOUGHT A USED BUICK FOR $2600 TO USE SINCE IT WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN RENTING A CAR, AND WILL SELL THAT CAR WHEN NEEDED.    CAN'T UPLOAD THE PHOTOS AND THE REPAIRS INFO AT THIS TIME.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SORENTO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
