Description of the problem	I purchased 2015 kia sportage at peak kia in littleton colorado july 2015 new 0 miles. On april 19,2019 i contacted kia dealership 303-904-7800 because the car dash went completely blank, i spoke to curtis in the service department spent over an hour trying to discuss my issue, i replaced my battery, the next day i was driving the car started to lose speed, i was able to get the car to peak. The service department said they could not give me a vehicle to drive because they could not look at my car until monday 4/22/2019. I went the dealership manager and finally was given a vehicle to drive. On 4/27/2019 the dealership wanted the loaner vehicle back and put me into a rental car, my frustration with being in a rental instead of the courtesy vehicle is that i elected rental car insurance which i am paying out of pocket due to the fact that rental car agencies will find any ding or dent and make you pay if insurance is not added. I feel like the dealership should have provided a courtesy vehicle because i had all of the required maintenance done at peak kia, purchased an extended warranty as a consumer i did my part, the purchase of this new vehicle has not reached the 4 year mark? Kia has 10 year 100,000 mile warranty on the motor. I was informed by peak that kia will put a refurbished engine in the car with 12,000 warranty and 1 year so i am losing my additional 30,000 mile warranty and 6 years of warranty from the original purchase. The reason that i purchased a new vehicle with 0 miles and completed suggested maintenance requirements was to eliminate mechanical issues .

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.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
