AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP, THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS AN INTERNAL \"CATASTROPHIC\" ENGINE FAILURE. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, LEE JOHNSON KIA IN KIRKLAND, WA. THEY CONFIRMED THE FIRST DIAGNOSIS OF CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. IT APPEARS THE ENGINE STARVED ITSELF OF OIL AND EXACTLY MATCHES ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN THE CURRENT KIA \"THETA II\" ENGINE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE DEALER AGREES THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BUT KIA REFUSES TO COVER IT. WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THIS VEHICLE SINCE LATE MAY 2017. IT HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALER EVER SINCE. KIA'S REASONING FOR NOT COVERING THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT WAS THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT ORIGINATE FROM THE ASSEMBLY FACTORY OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER, JUST AS KIA ASSUMED THE PREVIOUS HYUNDAI RECALL DIDN'T IMPACT THEM (AS NOTED IN YOUR CURRENTLY OPEN INVESTIGATION), I BELIEVE THEY CONTINUE TO UNDERESTIMATE THE BROADER IMPACT OF THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT ACROSS ALL OF THEIR ASSEMBLY FACTORIES. THIS LEAVES CUSTOMERS LIKE ME TO FOOT THE BILL AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE WITH A USED, ALSO LIKELY DEFECTIVE ENGINE, TO THE COST OF ~$7,000. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. WE COUNT OUR BLESSING THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, AS THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2012","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SPORTAGE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
