Asked by Josh Smith.
I?ve just brought a 2002 Kia Carnival and it has oil in the water. It has only done 54,000 km. I?ve been told it will cost around $4000 to fix and Kia Is not going to help. I know the warranty is finished, but it?s still like brand new. What am I to do?
Answered by CarsGuide
30 Mar 2010The problem with the head gaskets on the Kia Carnival is well documented. If you’ve just bought it try to get your money back, or come to an arrangement with the seller to repair it. Kia has helped owners in the past, but it seems their goodwill has expired on this issue.
