The recall repair was supposed to include a specific engine vibration test and possibly an engine replacement if the test failed. Initially, the dealership performed the test incorrectly and said it failed. They redid the test and said it passed, but instead of replacing or fully inspecting the engine, they only installed an oil ring sensor.  I am worried the sensor-only fix does not address the root issue, especially since the sensor\u2019s effectiveness is currently being audited. This could pose a safety risk because the engine defect can cause failure, loss of power, or fire.  In addition, I have experienced the warning light\u2014a triangle with an exclamation point\u2014that comes on intermittently. When it does, the message says to \u201ccheck upper rear brake light.\u201d This warning light has appeared multiple times, which adds to my concern about the vehicle\u2019s condition.  No other warning lights related to the engine have appeared yet, but I\u2019m concerned about the incomplete recall fix and the possibility of future engine problems. The problem has not been fully confirmed or resolved by the manufacturer or an independent service center.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SOUL","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
