Description of the problem	When starting up car, vehicle shakes violently from engine, and then dies. This is an intermittent problem, and because kia technicians cannot find a problem, and cannot replicate it - they are brushing the problem off. Their techline is useless. I escalated the case to the customer relations line they told me they cannot do anything unless they can replicate the problem. They even suggested that i use my phone to record each time i start up the car so i can send them the video. And then they were nice enough to tell me that i need to pick up my vehicle immediately as it had no problem. This was not acceptable, so i attempted to contact corporate where a representative called me once, left her number and i returned her calls on numerous occasions and she has never called me back.

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.
