First of all the facts: Kia Sportage NQ5 Diesel, Allrad, GT Line EZ 23.08.22 Car purchase on 07.06.2023 at the company XY, annual car with 8800km mileage currently 63,500km engine damage on 12.01.2025 – a piston eater, a piston ring torn The damage of 10,000€ my workshop (Kia dealer), filed with Kia for billing via guarantee – Kia refused this cost assumption, however, because the prescribed inspections were not complied with appropriately. The first inspection should have been at 20,000km, but this information was not available to me. The car itself reported that the inspection was due at 30,000km – so the first seller entered it in the service booklet and also progarammiert in the AUto. The two inspections, which the car should have until today, got it – but then the interval did not fit. With this reason Kia rejected all the claims. My workshop recommended me the following: I should put the problem there and say that I know that the problem with this car is known. Ergo seems to have a problem there?! The car picture also reports about an engine damage in this car (is completely identical motorization as mine) in their long-term test at kilometers 53,000, here it goes to the Article: https://www.autobild.de/artikel/kia-sportage-dauertest-22513001.html I don’t know anything about this and I’m really tired of it. My workshop has my complete trust, I’ve been satisfied with several cars there for many years. I don’t know who did what wrong – the service interval was just wrong from the beginning programmed in the car and registered in the service booklet. But that’s not my fault…. It’s probably now on a wu The car is now standing there with knockout and I actually have to drive 100km every day. Is there anyone here who can give me an ultimate tip? Experience values? Of course, it all goes to the lawyer etc. But until then what happens, the car is probably 2 years older.
