Description of the problem	Our kia sorrento has the metal shavings in the oil passage which has caused the entire engine to fail at $50k miles. There is a kia recall for this issue; however, kia is refusing to cover the cost because our vehicle vin is not part of the specific recall. The estimated cost for repair is $8k, plus our out of pocket costs for renting a call. We also had issues with the car that required air conditioner repair and replacement of the entire center console, but are not sure if they are related to the manufacturing defect at issue currently. In addition, we received a letter saying our airbag indicator is faulty but a recall is not coming up for this item.
