| Description of the problem | Engine started knocking and lost some power darning driving. The check engine light came on. This is the 3. 3l gdi engine. This engine is not part of the sc147 recall. I take good care of my cars. I believe the issue i'm having is due to a defect in the manufacturing process. We have a 2012 hyundai sonata that was covered under a different recall. It initially passed the recall test. The engine failed later with the same symptoms i'm having with the 2014 kia. Something is not right. |
