Description of the problem | On 6-10-19 the 2. 0l engine failed in my 2016 kia soul+ with less than 40,000 miles. The dealership determined this was due to a "manufacturer defect" and will be "repaired under warranty." the service department at the kia dealership stated the cylinders in the block were "out of round." they said it appeared that allow oil to get burned with the exhaust and burn up in the catalytic converter. This caused high amounts of carbon build up in the catalytic converter. I have no time frame as to when my vehicle will be repaired and returned to me. |
