Description of the problem	Kia engine recall - on april 2, 2017 my car stalled. The vehicle was in motion on a surface street (chastain rd) and to be towed (usaa roadside) to a local repair shop (pepboys). The mechanic stated that engine was gone. I had just had the car at the dealership (cobb county kia, kennesaw, ga) 2 days prior for routine oil change and a vehicle check. I reported the problem to the dealership (cobb county kia) who had the vehicle towed (marietta towing) to them at their expense and cited the diagnosis (engine failure). The maintenance supervisor, head mechanic and i viewed the engine together they both reported that there was no sludge in the engine and it was well maintained. There has been a recall issue be there is no guidance on the repair as of yet. Joseph, the maintenance supervisor had a trouble ticket submitted on my vehicle but my vin is still not referenced on this site. The dealership has had my car for over a month and half without any repair guidance from kia motor corp. All while knowing of the engine issues. Please help me. I need my car.
