"Hey Carl. Thanks for all of this valuable information as your insight helped me navigate getting my engine replaced on my 16' Kia Sorento. Two weeks later, the transmission goes out when there was never any signs of a transmission issue prior to the replacement. Any advise on how to go about broaching this issue with the dealership and maybe some insight as to warranties (Workmanship or otherwise) that are extended to consumers who've had their engines replaced that are now experiencing other issues?"
"Hi I last year I bought a Kia soul. 2016. I spent my last on it. 60k miles. I'm 29 2 weeks later engine went out. It took 4 months and two dealerships later to replace my engine. I literally cried in the dealership because they were so mean and had a million comments of why the might not be able to change my engine. They changed my engine got my car back with a mouse infestation but I was grateful. I didn't buy the book but I just said everything you said in your videos. My enigne went out again. I've made appointment. Of course it's 3 weeks out but im genuinely scared. I've searched your videos. Is there any videos on getting a second engine replacement? Or any info on this in the book?"
