Description of the problem	Powertrain issue on my kia sorento lx 2011, 4l, there was a sudden loss of motive power when i was driving the highway with all my family on it. This causes me concern because when i try to accelerate i heard some unpleasant, loud and repetitive clicking noises under my car which eventually went away after a minute. This has happened three times since i bought my car 2 weeks ago. I had to call kia and was advised me to go to any kia authorized dealership within my area to get it fix, but they didn't offered me an car loan option while hypothetical repair takes place. My main concern is about the security of my family and risk of crash. Also i was shocked when kia representative told me my car wasn't listed for a recall.
