I was pulling out to ongoing traffic when about to get on the highway and my car just went dead. I called aaa and they towed it to toyota because i purchased the car from them. After determining it was not the starter or battery. They removed front wheel in an attempt to turn engine at crankshaft. Engine wouldn’t turn. Their determination was engine seized. We then had it towed to kia dealer. They put it through procedures for seized engine and determined the same. I can not locate my mobile mechanic due to his retirement. The station is closed and i do not have access to my oil changes. Kia will not address this problem without the oil changes. I still owe 3500 on this car plus am paying insurance. I would appreciate any assistance. Thank you. [xxx] [xxx]. [xxx].
