Description of the problem	I already filed a claim the other day, but now my 2013 sorento has gotten even worse! My car stalled on the highway going around 65-70 mph, and power steering and acceleration completely ceased. After getting home and calling to report this, i took it for a test drive, and my engine has a very loud knocking sound coming from it, and it drives extremely rough. I never had any warning signs prior to this, and now my check engine light has been blinking. I have always kept up with the maintenance and oil changes on my vehicle, and now it is throwing a "p1326" code. It stalled twice prior to this while driving. I don't understand how my engine wasn't recalled prior to this when there was an engine recall on my exact year and model for rod bearing wear! This is my only form of transportation, and kia is aware of these problems but just keeps throwing bandaids on the actual problem! When is this going to end? Engines are catching on fire, people (including myself) are stalling at high speeds on the road due to their faulty craftsmanship! I want answers!! How many people will have to die before they do something about this? I either want a recall on my engine, or i want a warranty to cover the problem they are already aware of! I refuse to put mine or my daughter's life in jeopardy because kia does not want to own up to their problem! There are thousands of complaints, when will this end?! I'm still paying on a car i can't even drive due to manufacturer error!! This is ridiculous! I will never own another kia due to their safety violations, and i can't wait until i can get rid of this car and not have to worry about our safety any longer. I want something done now! I will not stop until something is done about this.

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.
