NHTSA Complaint #11246097 — 2012 KIA SORENTO

I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HWY. WHEN WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY DASH LIGHT WARNINGS MY ENGINE MADE A LOUD NOISE LIKE IT FELL APART AND I LOST POWER PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD. CALLED KIA THEY HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. 2 DAYS LATER DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THE ENGINE SPUN A BEARING. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME REASON ON THIS BUT THEY SAID ITS NOT ON MY VIN. # AND IT WILL COST $9,500.00 TO GET AND INSTALL A USED 78,000 MILE ENGINE IN IT, WHY WOULD I PUT A SIMILAR USED ENGINE IN IT TO HAVE THE SAME THING HAPPEN AGAIN. MY ENGINE IS 1000 MILES OVER ITS WARRANTY. VERY FRUSTRATING.....I LOOKED ON THIS SITE AND I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I'M GLAD I WAS JUST ENTERING THE HWY WHEN IT HAPPENED NOT DOING THE 70MPH SPEED CAUSE IT MAY OF HAD A MUCH WORSE OUTCOME. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS THANKS FOR READING MY REPORT.
