My 2016 Kia Sorento V6 had been serviced only within the Luther/Kia network, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Before bringing it here, an independent scan had already shown multiple engi Luther/Kia network, which makes this experience even more disappointing. Before bringing it here, an independent scan had already shown multiple engine-related codes, including misfires and timing/camshaft correlation codes. While driving to the dealership, the vehicle went into limp mode on the highway. Luther Nissan Kia documented that the engine was approximately 4 quarts low on oil in a 6.5-quart system. I specifically told service advisor Stephen Stulz in writing that replacing spark plugs looked like treating a symptom, not the root cause. I asked where the oil went and asked for the root cause to be investigated. Despite that, they charged me for spark plugs and an oil service. When I came to pick up the vehicle, the Check Engine light was already back. Then they charged me again for an oil control valve. That repair also failed almost immediately, with the Check Engine light returning shortly after I left. Only after two paid failed repairs did they move toward a much more serious camshaft / CVVT / timing-related repair estimate of about $5,600. The communication after that was extremely poor. The vehicle stayed with them for months, and for long periods I received no meaningful updates unless I pushed for answers. In my experience, they did not seriously engage with the problem until I filed complaints and took legal action. After that, their explanations kept shifting toward warranty coverage, mileage, possible used-engine speculation, and customer authorization instead of directly addressing why the root cause was not properly diagnosed from the beginning. In my opinion, this was a very poor diagnostic process and a very poor customer-service experience. They documented severe oil loss, received a written root-cause concern through their service advisor, charged for multiple repairs that did not fix the vehicle, left the vehicle unresolved for months, and only became responsive after outside pressure. After this experience, I will not use Luther Nissan Kia or any Luther-affiliated service department again. I previously trusted the Luther network with this vehicle, but that trust is gone. More
