Description of the problem	4 cyl rough idle at stop light and excessive vibration. Notice when drove new car off lot. Assumed it was normal. Had to make a long trip. After returning from trip had car service. I was told upon it was a computer problem and would be fixed --no definite time. Service rep was cornered and said could be 30-60 days. After many attempts to call dealer and write an extensive note--seemed to get stonewalled byg being told--working on it and will let you know. Finally on aug 16 took car in and had a "computer adjustment for rough idle". Much better, but only a few miles since recall notice and fix. I have not yet received an official recall notice-- i feel that kia corporate intentionally did not divulge this problem to automobile safety officials for the purpose of continuing to sell the 4 cylinder sorentos-poor decision.

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.

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