NHTSA Complaint #11458403 — 2014 KIA FORTE

One Monday morning my engine light came on in my car so I went to go to go get my car checked out that Tuesday morning . The dude that checked my car ( I forgot his name ) found metal in my oil which came from my engine and told me to see if I had a recall on my car , come to find out I did have a recall on my engine . My safety was put at risk due to the fact that my engine COULDVE blew while driving on the road . And it was confirmed by the Kia dealership that my car needed a new engine but they was telling me that I may or may not get my engine in my car due to the fact the recall was on the car since December of last year of 2020 which I didn’t know about at the time until AFTER I bought the car . I was trying to move my car to the dealership to get it checked out and my car made a loud thumping noise which came from the engine and my car completely shut off before leaving the place where I had it looked at . I ended up getting it towed to the Kia dealership for further inspections . It’s been approximately 3 weeks since my car has been fixed and I haven’t gotten my car fixed yet . The lady at Kia ( I forgot her name ) told me basically it’s nothing Kia can do for my car .
