@Kia My 2016 Sorento V6 had a defect known by Kia. A bolt backed out of the block causing complete engine failure at 11600m. It’s costing me $6700 replace. Kia is completely stonewalling. Service managers say that the defect pops up between 100000-120000m Just beyond warranty.

@Kia The service manager Said that he was replacing seven engines a week on these models. These V6 engines are junk! There is no way to avoid this problem with these defective bolts. Stop stonewalling! I had absolutely no trouble with my car until this.

I ended up paying $6800 bucks for the remanufactured engine since they don’t make them anymore. Kia manufacturer rep basically said CPO Kia’s have no privity with the manufacturer, only the Fidelity insurance policy they use. They don’t care. Disgusting

@60Minutes Here’s an old school new story for you. Kia motors has bum V6 engines with known manufacturing defects that they are not standing behind. They already had problems with the feds with the four cylinders and now the V6 3.3L are having trouble.

@60Minutes It’s really bad for consumers now that their cars are fetching premium prices on the used car market with high mileage when they are just moments away from imploding. Service managers everywhere are replacing multiple engines a week and nothing is being said

@60Minutes and it’s hard to get them fixed because of supply chain issues. So people buy over priced used cars, can’t get new engines, Kia won’t cover the cost, and folks are either paying for insurance on cars they can’t drive or have to go out and get another one, or do without

A ā€œrare repudiationā€ of a candidate by the Atlanta NAACP: ā€œAtlanta can and must do better than elect Kasim Reed again. Thirteen other candidates are running, some with proven leadership ability and political experience and none with a record of administrative corruption.ā€ #gapol – at Dunwoody, GA

@Kia My 2016 SX V6 needs a brand new engine because of a design defect. The dealer says that the bolts are backing out of these blocks between 100-120,000 miles causing complete engine failure immediately after the warranty expires. You know you have a HUGE problem. Fix my car!!!

@Kia What are you doing to assist the owners of these models? We have new cars with bum engines and and insane repair bills. I was a HUGE fan. These cars are now worthless. Stand by your products and your customers!

@ConsumerReports Kia must recall its 3.3 L V6 engine sold in 2016-2019 Sorentos. My dealer told me a design flaw causes bolts to back out of the block leading to complete engine failure and requiring replacement between 100- 120K miles, Just after warranty expires.Huge problem!

@ConsumerReports The service manager I spoke to said that he’s replacing up to 7 engines a week! Have you heard anything about this? Kia isn’t being responsive to us.
C’mon @Delta Flight 5682 gate agent in BOS this morning is going out of her way to be rude and rather ā€œtightā€mannered. Don’t let your normal great customer service fail my friends on this flight. Fix it please.

@GeekSquad @BestBuy @BestBuySupport We set 3 appointments set to fix a washer under warranty with your company and got three no-shows for an 8am to 5pm window. Just scheduled a 4TH appointment. Why do business with you if you don’t keep appointments and honor your warranties??

@GeekSquad @BestBuy @BestBuySupport So I just found out that you have rescheduled me with service quick at AIG who doesn’t service my area. So useless! Best Buy stinks if you can’t fix this why go to that store for anything ever again

@GaDPH What’s going on at Mercedes Benz Stadium this morning? Hundreds standing in line outside for vaccinations with no information forthcoming.

@MBStadium @ajc @wsbtv @11AliveNews What’s going on at Mercedes Benz Stadium this morning? There are hundreds of people standing in line outside for vaccinations with nobody communicating to the waiting crowd about what’s going on.

@ReverendWarnock we need a national insurance requirement for firearms.cnn.com/2021/03/26/us/atlant…

The manufacturers,sellers and owners need to insure against weapons being used in a violent manner by putting a portion of the sale into an insurance fund. And all weapons need to be registered at the time of manufacture or when offered for sale.

We need to treat firearms like we treat automobiles in this country. Every single one needs an expensive liability policy in case it’s utilized in a violent act
Replying to @drsanjaygupta
@drsanjaygupta I’ve heard that some hospitals are having real trouble getting their staff to get vaccinated. A month ago, I’ve heard that some Atlanta hospitals were only in the 45 to 50% vaccination rate and that staff would often decline the shot. That’s terrifying!
1
@drsanjaygupta @david_patton_ If hospitals aren’t requiring staff members to get vaccinated in order to work, should consumers insist that any hospital staff they come in contact with be vaccinated?Insistence upon vaccination by staff might be an important add for a chart
Replying to @NYGovCuomo
@NYGovCuomo Pls supply NYS vaccine sites with clear masks and signage about them for the thousands with hearing loss. Site staffers need to wear for communication purposes when necessary. Had stressful exp at Aqueduct
