    Kia engine seized

    Kia Kia Advice Kia Carnival Kia Carnival Advice Kia Carnival 1999
    THE engine in our 1999 Kia Carnival seized after only 60,000km. We are told this is a fault with the Carnival made between 1997-2002. About 3000 Carnival engines have been replaced by Kia at its own cost. Kia Australia tells us our car is too old. Now we feel we are being penalised for not driving more and using up mileage.

    WE CONTACTED Ateco, the Kia importer, on your behalf and it assures us you will be looked after. According to an Ateco spokesperson the engine is being stripped down to find out what the problem is and ensure nothing else has been damaged. Subject to the check, Ateco will help you. However, this policy is Ateco's and it ran out on March 1 when the business returned to Kia, which now takes on all responsibilities.
