Description of the problem	On december 21, 2018 i called to make a appointment to have my suv recall taken care of. They set me up with a appointment january 3, 2019 at 9:00am. Well i make it to my appointment on time and hand the keys over to the service department, they tell me it should take about 45mins to a hour. 2 hours later my suv is done and they said it is fine and that they changed my oil. I appreciate the oil change but i just had it change not even a 1,000miles ago. Any ways, i get in my suv and drive home, it's driving and running normal, just like it was before i brought it in, normal. Takata recall on january 4, 2019 at 8:20pm i'm driving back home from shopping at to wal-mart, when my suv shuts off completely, my lights were still on, all the lights on the dash came on, i put my flashers on and coast to the side of the road. I put it in park, turn the suv off, then i try to start it, would not start, so i turn it off and try again, it struggled to start but it started up. I put it in drive and countie heading home. I get 1mile and it does it again. So i did just like did the first time and same results. Finally i made it home. The next day i go to call the dealership, but i'm told the service department is closed on weekends. Well i've been remodeling my home myself and i forget to call kia, my car wasn't acting weird so i kind of forgot about it. Takata recall until january 11, 2019 7:36pm i drive to go drop my child off to his mother and i hear a taping noise under my hood, but it only made it that one time so i paid no mind to it. Takata recall january 21,2019 7:21pm i'm driving on my way home on a back road that is a short cut from where i was coming from. An i hear this little grinding noise, and then the taping noise i heard before but it was louder and it didn't stop. My check engine started flashing so i pull over and call for help. My other half said its a rod bearing.

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