Description of the problem	Kia refuses to replace the known defective engine. My husband took the car into the dealership for the sc147 recall and was told it passed, "for now" but it would have to continue to be checked. Kia knows the engine is defective and has placed myself and my family in an unsafe and potentially life threatening situation and i don't feel comfortable driving in a car where the engine could seize at any time without prior notice because kia knows the engine is defective but is waiting for it to fail the test. That is wrong and it could happen prior to a periodic recheck and no one in their right mind would feel comfortable driving a vehicle like that and kia is using deceptive practices by refusing to replace the engine that is knowingly defective. Not only that, but in order to sell the vehicle ,which we now want to do because we do not feel safe in it, we would have to inform the potential buyer otherwise it would be negligent not to. A trade in value was given to us that was way below the trade in value and it is because of the open recall.
