Description of the problem	Engine is loud i was told to report to the kia dealer if the engine was getting more loud. The vehicle was loud from the time i purchased it and was told to bring it in if it seemed to get more loud. I was also told that it has solid lifters and that is why it is loud. Now it has 99730 miles and some engines are seizing up. I asked if the recall would be in force if i went over 100000 and was told to park it until i received a letter from kia for instructions. Now i have a car that i can't drive and paying payment's on, i'm the original owner. The kia rep said to hurry when i receive the letter so the dealership could get me scheduled but he said he did not know if it would be covered because of the mileage! He also said if i took it in now that i would have to pay for an inspection. Basically now i'm the proud owner of a kia boat anchor!
