| Description of the problem | I was driving on interstate 75 in punta gorda florida, i exited the freeway and as i was turning left off the interstate the engine started to make a very loud bagig from the engine. I checked the oil and all was good. I took the car back to the dealer where i originally purchased the car. They of course could not do anything, so they said. I looked on this website and i noticed there are some 2013 kia sportage recalls for this very problem. I'm just wondering if my vin will ever be part of a recall. |
