"Hello,
I hope you can help me with this issue..this is a synopsis of whats been going on for over a month.
Can you help me?
Invoice #392628
Scotts Automotive:
2016 Kia Sorento SXL VIN 5XYPKDA59GG119549.
I recieved my engine in April but due to the crazy national back orders on everything on the planet, my mechanic wasn't able to start installing my engine until August. When he unwrapped it, he was shocked by what he saw. Brian notified me along with sending pictures saying;
08/08/22
"In short, they sent you an engine that you cant use. They clearly marked where its broken and that isnt a simple bolt on part. The engine has to be torn down partially to replace it. The part thats broken is upper engine mount that is part of the timing chain cover."




I called sw engines and Brian (the mechanic) called trying to get an answer if he tried to repair what was broken, would SW Engines cover that cost since an obvious defective engine was sent.
All I got was "this is not covered by the warranty". I told them it should be "covered" by the company because I spent over $6425 on an engine that looked like it came from a junk yard. There's paint markings showing all the defects, so SOMEBODY there knew it was substandard quality! So I assured my mechanic I would pay MORE to have the engine fixed, so I can get my car back..until I find someone at your company who will stand by their product and see to it I get reimbursed for fixing this piece of junk engine they sent! So we digress, he was working on trying to get the engine swapped out.. but 09/19/22 this is what he sent me. Pictures included


My mechanic Brian Scott messaged me..
"Well Kim, more bad news with this Engine. the
Head gasket is starting to go on the same side as original engine.
They need to send another engine
Tell them that the head gasket is already leaking. Was spotted before install
Not to mention all the broken up plastic from a busted valve cover that has went into the engine
If they want pics of heat tabs.....there is none.
Short n simple they should have never sold you this engine."
We ( me and my mechanic) have tried to call..if we get an answer we are told lies " they will email a form to have the warranty dept to review" this started 8/8/22..after multiple emails, "dropped calls" if they even answer. Im told there's nothing they can do because the warranty wasn't activated in 10days! I reminded them the same shipping crisis that prevented them from sending my engine in the promised 7-14 days instead took almost 6weeks..is why it wasn't installed in the 10days..no one can get parts! I tried to call so they would know..and make a note, but they would not answer the phone.
I'm sick..all I want is a good replacement engine so I can get my car on the road..or a refund."

  • This was how the engine looked when the mechanic was finally able to start working on my car.

  • Oct 14, 2022, Claiming party added:

  • Add your See all these customer service email addresses? Telling me it's been forwarded to the "in charge department" they won't answer the phone, when they do they tell you they will send an email so I "can start a claim to address my issue". That goes nowhere.

    Pattern of Complaint
    Engine and Transmission World's rating with the Better Business Bureau is due in part to a pattern of complaints on file with the BBB. The company has failed to correct the underlying reasons for the complaints. Complaints concern delay in shipment and delivery of goods, refund/exchange issues, advertising/selling practice issues and product quality issues. As well, consumers allege that they do not receive the part ordered as it was advertised and/or are receiving damaged or defective parts from the company.

    As of January 2019, the company had still not eliminated the underlying cause of the pattern of complaints. BBB continues to receive complaints alleging the above issues.
