Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2011 KIA SPORTAGE EX AWD. I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOLLOWED BY KNOCKING AND THEN MY ENGINE SEIZED. TOTALLY LOCKED UP. MY ENGINE IS A THETA II BUT IT'S THE MPI ENGINE. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME IT'S NOT UNDER RECALL SO I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE. I'M FINDING HUNDREDS OF POSTS ONLINE FROM OWNERS WITH THE SAME ENGINE THAT I HAVE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL FOR THESE ENGINES? CANADA HAS ALREADY INCLUDED THEM IN ITS RECALL.
