Last friday(01/20/2023), i was driving my car suddenly out of nowhere my car slowed down and wouldn’t start. It has just been 20days since i last serviced. Engine light was on and the other two lights where on as well. I towed it to kia dealership and after diagnosing they said there has been a lot of fuel leak and issue with the starter so the car wouldn’t turn on. I’m not sure if this isn’t a recall, because my car was completely fine before this incident. The dealer quoted me around $560 for the fuel tube and $890 for the starter.
