So I bought my car through Carvana and I had had it for a 1 year when I was driving down the road at 55 mph and it stopped on me. I got off the road onto the shoulder of the road and sat there for a while and tried to start it up again, and after 3 tries it started and I was able to get home. I called the dealership the next day and made an appointment to bring it in for the Recalls on it.
On the day of the appointment, I was going down the road and it started to make the knocking noises and it stopped on me. I was able to get into the turning lane and I called Kia and told them the vehicle quit on me. I had to call a tow truck and it was a long wait. I waited from 7:40 am to 10:40 am when they arrived. We got the vehicle there and they called me the next day and told me there was a hole in the engine and that it would cost me 12,000 to replace it. And I was pissed. They told me the warranty was out of date and that I waited too long to have the recalls done. I was like what?
I don't think I should have to pay for this or there shouldn't be a warranty on any recalls. So I am upset and I own 12,000 on a vehicle I can't drive and I have no way of getting around now. I am stuck with nothing but headaches and pain over a vehicle that I think Kia should be responsible for not me.
