Description of the problem | While driving at speed limit, 75mph, the car starting losing power and started to shake, then it sped up again and leveled out. Once i reached the nearest gas station, in park, it was shaking and rattling. I was able to get the car to my mechanic and upon his inspection, found a hole in the piston. I contacted the local kia dealership and was told they could replace the engine for $9000. 00. I had informed that there may be a recall, so i asked the dealership and was told no. They did not ask for a vin or anything. |
