Consumer Description

MY CAR 2014 KIA FORTE EX 2.0L GDI ENGINE WAS UNDER RECALL. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR RECALL AND DEALERSHIP SAID NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THERE THE CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH ENGINE CODE P1326 WHICH IS DUE TO ROD BEARINGS. (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT THIS RECALL WAS FOR! ) I WANT THIS ENGINE REPLACED JUST AS THE RECALL STATES!
