Description of the problem	Took my kia forte in to the auto repair shop because the engine started making a knocking noise. I have the oil changed regularly just as it is supposed to be done, and just had it changed less than 2 weeks ago. The shop said the engine has major engine failure and that there was nothing i can do about it. They said i will have to replace the engine. I called the kia dealership to find out about the recalls on kia motors and they said that my engine is not on the recall list but that there are many of the same motors that are failing and i would have to call kia consumer affairs to find out if maybe they will add my engine. I see nothing but where other kia owners are having the same issue with both the 2l & 2. 4l engine and kia is being nasty about replacing them. I am very upset as my car is not part of their recall and know that it should be.
