NHTSA Complaint #11280451 — 2012 KIA SPORTAGE

MY ENGINE SEIZED AND STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE BEGAN KNOCKING EARLIER THAT DAY WITH NO PRIOR WARNINGS, LIGHTS ILLUMINATING, ETC. I WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO GET IT HOME OR TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE IT DIED. WE PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON OUR CAR AND THERE IS NO REASON IT SHOULD'VE DIED SO SOON. IT NEEDS A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE NOW. SIMILAR MODELS ARE ALREADY ON RECALL AND A PENDING LAWSUIT FOR SIMILAR MODELS BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO INCLUDE THE MPI ENGINE. ONLY TURBO AND GDI ARE INCLUDED, WHICH IS WRONG BECAUSE I'VE FOUND MANY REPORTS OF THIS ENGINE FAILING TOO. THERE'S A BIG PROBLEM HERE.
