Hello,
If there is a legit person who can help me figure out how to approach Kia dealership tomorrow morning with an issue that has been going on for a few months now.
1st I want to say, My car had a recall last Nov 2018 for:
SC141- Underbody Corrosion , SC147- Engine and PI1803- ECU upgrade
..now I was told that this has something to do with a piece of metal getting stuck in a tube of something inside of my engine as well as coating underneath my car bc of erosion from salt bad weather ect..I brought it in & was given a rental car for a month. I couldn't believe it took that long bc I didnt think it was a big deal.
Anyways FF to rt now.
For the past 3 months I have been back in forth with my mechanic about figuring out what is wrong with my vehicle. The best way I can try to explain it is that,
When I turn it on big puffs of white smoke come out the exsaught..not everytime but most times..as well as its not wanting to accelerate when I press the gas petal, it makes this..noise..like something getting stuck in a fan..and it studders pretty bad now. It sounds pretty scary. I also noticed it leaking back in early September..but it wasn't always doing that. . Anyways. My mechanic isn't sure and all he did was chk the oil and he seen that I did need more. And then he did a flush a few weeks after that and put more oil in it as well as some coating stuff to stop any leaks...that was it and I still have the same issues. So I decided to just bite the bullet call kia so they can take a look. Which is tomorrow morning. I have no clue if this has anything to do with the recall last year or this is something entirely new????. I am by 0 means a mechanic and or know zilllch abt cars. Unfortunately. I am seriously worried that Kia will Not be able to help me! I have no way of knowing if they will even attempt to "repair" a thing.
I hate that I found out abt this forum soo late. I just dont know what to do!?. Any tips PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
THANK YOU!
