Talked to my insurance company they say its about to get real fun!!!! Pretty sure its a write off ass I had the sunroof open and the windows down trying to clear the smoke and then the battery died . The chemical spray from the fire extinguisher coated the inside. Never had a issue with the vehicle till yesterday. First time having a engine blow at hiway speeds, it gets your attention real fast!!!!!!!!!
Crazy. Good luck. Review online doesn't show much except a history for Kia reneging on pricey repairs. Looks like they challenge oil change timing etc. Even when done at the dealership.
