Had a conversation with someone in a bind. Kia with 200k miles. Dealership replaced the engine four years ago under factory warranty with a brand new one. They won't honor the warranty on the replacement and neither will corporate.

Supposedly it ran fine when she took it into the dealer but then something happened after.

She's using a loaner right now and needs her vehicle for long miles of work travel. A good person. I haven't seen the vehicle or know what is going on, but it sounds like other 'country boys' have been helping her out and it's been to shops. It's clear that she wasn't hot-dogging her daily driver and the previous engine lasted a long time.

Some of the important details are missing from this situation of course but apparently it was being serviced on schedule.
