Description of the problem	On 10/22/2018, while driving my 2014 kia 2. 0l gid soul, at or under 60 mph on a paved highway, moving in a straight line, i heard a clunk and the engine died at 128,048 miles. This vehicle was purchased new. All maintenance was conducted at only 2 kia dealerships while under warranty. The vehicle was towed to the primary dealership but had to towed to storage several days until i returned . It was subsequently towed back to the dealership- now under new ownership. I requested a diagnosis of the engine failure but it was not done, reason unknown, so i ordered an engine replacement. The vehicle was in the shop april 10 to june 25, 2019, at which time i turned in my rental car and paid for the engine- again, not receiving a report as to why the engine failed in a catastrophic manner. Between 5/22/2019 and 7/30/2019, i attempted to communicate with kia usa by phone and emails to consumer affairs. On 7/30/2019, during a phone conversation, representative brandon offered a reimbursement of $750 for rental and towing fees in lieu of discussing something reasonable to the costs totaling $8,193. 43. He was to call me back on or about 8/02/2019 but has not. Today, 8/10/2019, i went to add a message to (kia) case number 13186735, only to learn that "this case has already been closed..." i believe that kia is attempting to avid reimbursing me for a loss not my fault. Records and correspondence are available. (-end-)
