About 6 months ago I noticed my 2018 KIA Sportage w 139,000 started using a lil oil.  Then 3 days ago it starting cutting out & ck engine light came on. I called mechanic & took it into his shop.  He put a coder reader on it and it said, misfire on #2. He did a compression test and there was 0 pressure on #2 cylinder. He then took a camera and went down and there is a hole in #2 piston. He recommends a new engine. He had me call the KIA Customer Care # however, they basically told me the deadline for class action suit expired and I had no remedy with them. My car was not acting up at the end of said deadline so, why would I have filed a claim?!  I seen this info on recall #SC336 as to oil consumption & no compression in '20-'23 Souls and Seltos. I have also seen several mechanics forums speaking about my year of Sportage with compression issues.  I am a poor lady on disability and still owe $11,000 on this car w no extended warranty coverage.  Is there anything I can do in order to get KIA to include my vehicle in an engine recall ?   I have now obtained a loan for the $4,800 rebuilt engine I just purchased from Auto Zone!  Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SPORTAGE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
