2016 Kia Sportage UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

Me and my family were on the way to the beach, as I accelerated on the interstate got to 65 mph, engine light started blinking, car instantly slowed down. Got off on next exit, to check and see what was going on, car started hesitating after acceleration. Was able to get it to an autoshop (O'Reilly's) diagnosis shows knock sensor failure and they told me it has to do with the safety recall, didn't even know the car had a recall on it.

Vehicle recall was addressed, yet problem persisted which was an engine oil leak/burn. Oil continued to leak/burn and caused engine problems. Cylinder 1 misfire was most recent, lost of acceleration, a/c failure, burning of engine coolant. All regular maintenance has been performed, 2nd set of new spark plugs within 12 months were installed a week ago. I have spent over $500 in the last few months alone trying to "maintain" my vehicle. Mechanic also stated these failures could lead to catalytic converter damage/failure. I have asked dealership & Kia separately to facilitate this repair before total failure to ensure my safety. They refused. Vehicle finally had the engine failure while driving in the center lane at highway speed on I95, this put my life in danger and Kia did not seem to think that was important. My vehicle had to be towed to a dealership at my expense, a rental car is at my expense and I have no ETA on when it would even go through diagnostic testing. I feel that Kia owes me a full system repair and ensures that the vehicle is up to date and safe to drive.

I received an interim recall notice in March 2022, it is now August 2022 and the remedy part is still unavailable for vehicle this shouldn't take this long. Kia stated I can still drive my car and watch for indicators but that seems really unsafe if there is a chance of possible engine fire. It shouldn't take this long for a remedy to be available.

CAR JUST SHUTDOWN ON ME DOING 75 IN A 70. MILEAGE WAS NOT HIGH AND MAINTENANCE WASN'T NEED ACCORDING TO THE DASHBOARD. CAR WAS GREAT THEN JUST OUT OF NOWHERE SHUTDOWN DUE TO FAULTY ENGINE THEY KEEP SAYING.*JB

AS I'M GOING DOWN THE ROAD IT JUST FADES OUT, NO WARNING OR CHUGGING,I HAVE TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART IT, THEN IT'S OK(?) SO TO SPEAK..IT'S ONLY HAPPENED TWICE AND I WAS ON A BACK ROAD HOME BOTH TIMES. BUT WHAT IF I'M ON THE FREEWAY AND TRYING TO PASS A SEMI AND IT DOES THIS, I COULD BE KILLED OR INJURED...WHAT COULD POSSIBLE BE GOING ON?
