Description of the problem	I have 2013 kia forte with 66,000 miles and it already has knocking in the engine. I was told by a kia dealership that the engine would need to be replace and it would cost me 5,682$. They also said that the car is not safe to drive any more because it could seize up on me while driving. This car should not have an engine that is prematurely failing at 66,000 miles. My toyota tundra has over 300,000 miles and i have never had any problems with engine. Kia needs to have a recall on the forte engines because i've seen other complaints online about the same issue of a bad engine at low miles.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
