Description of the problem	Engine is severely slugged and there was no warning ever. Found out after an oil changed at 67k at jiffy lube when i took it to the ourisman kia dealer in chantilly, va. There is no warning that any of this situation was starting to happen even after a previous oil change at kia dealer at 58k miles. The dealership denied my claim with the 100k mile warranty because i don't have proof that i did all 9 oil changes. They proceeded to tell me that i need a new engine but that they are on backorder nationwide and who knows what date tbd that will become available. The repair shop i took it to piedomont in haymarket, va says they think it is something like a year before it might be available. So in the mean time no loaner was ever offered to me and no i have a unusable vehicle that i have submitted a claim for with geico. I do not have funding for a new engine and the fact that the kia motor company has no engine to even supply to me is completely unacceptable practice for a business. Also 1 year ago my battery just died according to the kia dealer due to a parasitic drain. That seems suspicious to me since the vehicle was only a year old and had to be replaced with one i bought at walmart. Also, the fuse for the driver seat continuously blows.

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.
