My dashboard 'engine' light popped on and within minutes i drove it to my local mechanic to be immediately scanned and the scan code read, #poo14 at that moment my mechanic informed me that the "theta ii" engine was in fact recalled but i was never notified ever by the dealership!!! At the time my vehicle was moving in a 35mph zone on a city street. After the scan i backed it out of the bay to park it and then the motor just "locked up & seized" i immediately called kia roadside assistance and was told they do not tow. I then called fucillo kia where i purchased it and pretty much got the typical "big dealer" run around. I then called someone with a bigger pay grade that could possibly advise me what to do here. This supervisor explained that they are not responsible to get the vehicle "in house" to fix this issue. I contacted my insurance co. But did not have towing on my policy. They were baffled that kia said it was my responsibility to get it towed to dealership! Mind you that i immediately lost my part time and really cant afford a huge towing bill! It seems to me that i shouldn't have to feel that this is all my fault ! You would think that my 10yr/100,000mi warranty should jump on this. I presently have 64,857mi on odometer . Please inform me what to do next,

Bought vehicle from team gunther kia - daphne, al. Vehicle arrived in colorado with illegally low tire tread depth and unusual rattling in the rear of vehicle which requires a heat shield replacement (i25 kia in colorado). Vehicle only has 23,000 miles. One owner, clean carfax report. Kia refuses to pay for heat shield replacement as vehicle ran out of warrant june of 2019 and 10 year powertrain warranty will not suffice despite incomplete sale (case number: 13917735). Tires should not have been so poor (hankook) at 4/32nds and extreme tire rot with only 23,000 original miles. Suspicious lack of documentation regarding odometer check that has delayed registration of vehicle in colorado. The vehicle condition upon arrival would have been an illegal sale in the state of colorado.
