Description of the problem	Driving on the highway my car lost power at 11pm on a saturday nite. It would only go aporox 40mph w the the gas petal to the floor. No check lights came on until aporox a few min from home. Only the check engine light. No overheating no smoke. I took it to my mechanic who determined it was the same issue the 2. 4 engine that was recalled. I have the 3. 3. Also the kia mechanic said the same. Only 70000 miles on the car. Kia at this point is refusing to acknowledge this is a manufacturing issue. They have had my car for 3 weeks and as of yesterday still no answer. I even left a voice mail for sean yoon the ceo. I tried to call mr yoon yesterday but got redirected to thir consumer dept. They said it takes 2-3 days to determine a decision. So im paying for a car and a rental when they already know what the issue is. One consumer dept employee i spoke w said she hasnt had very many complaints about the 3. 3. Well that right there is a red flag! I just want them to do the right thing. They also tried to tell me that because im the second owner and i was past the 60000 mi service warrenty i had no coverage and the 100000 was only for first owner. Its a manufacturers defect not anything we did. We have been loyal kia customers for over 10 years. I feel like because we didnt buy another new kia we are being punished. This cars defect could of seriously injured a lot of people if this would of happened during a busy time of day. I know they are busy taking care of other complaints but to wait 3 weeks is a bit unnerving.

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.
