Experienced catastrophic engine failure within 2 months of purchasing a 2021 Kia Sportage. An exhaust valve failed due to excessive oil consumption. Ziegler Kia of Holland was very happy to quote $23k for an engine replacement. However no effort was provided from either Ziegler or Kia in determining the reason for the oil consumption. This despite the fact that Ziegler had performed an oil consumption test just before we purchased the car, and it had passed the test (i.e. very little oil consumed). And finally, no support was provided from either Ziegler or Kia in looking for other, reasonable options. The $23k for a replacement engine is nearly twice the value of the vehicle
