Description of the problem	I 2013 kia souls recently went out, it won't start. There was no light that indicated a problem. I took it to my machine who believed it was the starter or battery but when he looked at the engine he believed it had blow up. A recent recall was done on my veh, so i got it tolled to kia. They didn't issue me a rental, and the service man didn't want to take the veh because they havent received any information on it. I had to go home and get the recall notice that was going to be sent out to customers. I've been calling for the past 2 week and the service person closed out my case. If you had no information on the recall how can you close out my case ? What knowledge did you have that your were not informing me? On 4/22/2019 i received a call that stated my car was not part of the recall because the service codes and that i would have to pay for a new engine but they can;'t find one. Maybe because it was recalled
