Description of the problem	My car is an ebony black 2013 kia sorento. On july 22nd, 2019, i was driving the car to atlanta ga and it just came to a deceleration mode and stopped in he middle of the road. I got it towed by aaa and brought it home and the sent it to the dealership. I was called and told by the dealership service department that my engine is knocking and it is gone. I brought the car home and it had been sitting on my drive way ever since, late last year, i saw a news item recalling a litany of kia vehicles and which i believed mine was inclusive based on the problem they claimed it is developing or had developed and the year models. I called nhtsa today and was told my vin number is not inclusive. I do not see why a car of less than 6 years old, with 135,000 miles on it without any engine sign will stop in the middle of the road without any check engine sign and warning. I still have the car on the drive way and start it to warm it up. This incident or break down occurred before hogansville exit on the i-85 north in georgia. Thanks in advance.
