THE CAR BEGAN TO STUTTER, LOSE ACCELERATION, AND A KNOCKING SOUND STARTED TO COME FROM THE ENGINE. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS SEVERE ENGINE KNOCKING WHICH LED THE TO THE ENGINE STALLING. PER THE DIAGNOSIS FROM MY MECHANIC, UPON TEAR DOWN OF ENGINE THE MAIN BEARINGS HAD SPUN CAUSING EXCESSIVE PLAY ON THE PISTONS ALLOWING THEM TO HIT ON THE ENGINE WALL CAUSING THE KNOCKING.    DURING THIS PROCESS, WE LEARNED THE GDI ENGINES WERE RECALLED BUT THE THETA ENGINES WERE NOT, FOR SOME REASON. EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUES ARE THE SAME. WE ALSO LEARNED THE THETA ENGINES FOR REPLACEMENT ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND BECAUSE (1) THE ENGINES WERE DISCONTINUED AND (2) THE ISSUE IS COMMON AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE NEEDING NEW ENGINES.    WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE, WHICH COST $7,000 (DUE TO THE MECHANIC FINDING ONLY ONE USED ENGINE AVAILABLE FOR REPLACEMENT - AT THE COST OF OVER $5,000 FOR THE ENGINE ALONE). THE CAR RUNS NORMAL NOW, BUT WE ARE OBVIOUSLY CONCERNED THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE WILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND FAIL, GIVEN HOW OFTEN THIS IS OCCURRING WITH THESE ENGINES.    KIA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE WITH THE THETA ENGINES, AND REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO FIX THEIR CAR. WE DILIGENTLY SERVICED OUR VEHICLE WITH TIMELY OIL CHANGES, AND HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION TO BACK IT UP.     CARS STALLING WHILE DRIVING IS A SAFETY CONCERN, AND CANNOT BE STATED ANY OTHER WAY.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SPORTAGE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
