NHTSA Complaint #11366704 — 2012 KIA FORTE

I BOUGHT MY 2012 KIA FORTE WITH ABOUT 9,000 MILES IN 2014. I USED GOOD PENNZOIL SYNTHETIC OIL AND DID REGULAR OIL CHANGES. MY ENGINE STARTED TICKING AT ABOUT 110,000 MILES. I WROTE IT OFF AS A TICKY LIFTER. AT 184, 000 MILES MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED OIL. LESS THAN A QUART LOW, SO I FILLED IT. 5 MILES LATER CAR DIES AND WON'T TURN OVER AGAIN. MECHANIC SAYS ENGINE LOCKED UP. THEN I READ ONLINE THAT THIS 2.4 THETA ENGINE HAS BEEN RECALLED IN LATER MODEL KIAS AND HYUNDAI. BUT NOT IN EARLY YEARS BECAUSE OF SOME CODE NUMBER. GIVE ME A BREAK. KIA NEEDS TO PAY UP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.I AM CALLING EVERYONE I CAN TO KEEP THIS ISSUE OUT THERE. MAKE THEM DO A RECALL. NBC NEWS IS NEXT ON MY LIST. I WAS ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 30. LUCKILY NOT PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF SOMEONE
