Description of the problem	Takata recall i have had my 07' sorento to several places. I originally took it to the place i biought it from. I was referred to a kia dealership, which took my car apart twice and ran a camera through it and replaced the rear crank shaft. Then i replaced every sensor and spark plug ion the thing and also had power steering problems. It sounded loud and was always needing parts but in the spring, i pulled in my driveway and left my car running a few minutes while i got things outside taken care of because it was dark,( the car has approx. 124,000 miles on it) while it sat in my driveway for maybe 5 minutes it spit and sputtered and died in my driveway. I tried to restart it and it would barely start running. I took it to have it looked at once again and was told timing chain, electrical and crank shaft again. Needs new engine most likely and no one wants to work on it because it has some many issues! So , i am paying a loan for this car that has been sitting in my driveway for months because i will not and cannot pay for this vehicle to have anymore work done!

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.
