The vehicle had been running normally until it began stalling and sputtering while driving. Shortly after, the engine would only run for 1\u20132 seconds before shutting off entirely.  This exact issue mirrors those documented in previous recalls and class-action lawsuits involving Kia's 2011\u20132015 models with 2.0L and 2.4L engines. However, despite having the same failure and engine type, my VIN was excluded from the existing recall/warranty extension campaigns. Kia confirmed this is a known issue, but will not cover repairs.  This failure occurred at approx. 180,000 miles. Engine failure without warning is a serious safety risk and financial burden. I am filing this complaint so NHTSA can review this issue and evaluate whether additional VINs \u2014 like mine \u2014 should be included in a broader investigation or recall.  A case has been opened with Kia (Case #XXX), and full diagnostic documentation from a certified mechanic is available.
