NHTSA Complaint #11171319 — 2012 KIA SPORTAGE

I BOUGHT MY SPORTAGE USED WITH 102000 MILES ON IT. I DROVE IT FOR 4 1/2 MONHTHS [4100 MILES]. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STARTED TO STALL. THEN IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD TAPPING NOISE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE KIA DEALER AND THE ENGINE IS NO GOOD. I NEED ANOTHER ONE, BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON THE RECALL BECAUSE IT'S A 2.4L AND ONLY THE 3.0L FOR THIS MODEL IS RECALLED. EVEN THOUGH THE 2.4L IN THE SORENTO IS ON THE RECALL LIST. I'M WAITING TO HEAR WHAT I CAN DO BUT THEY OUGHT TO GIVE ME AN ENGINE SINCE IT IS RECALLED ON OTHER KIAS. AT THIS POINT I'M RAILING BECAUSE I SPENT $9000 FOR 4 MONTHS OF USE IF THEY DON'T GIVE ME AN ENGINE.
