2010 Kia Sportage Engine Problems

Your car started knocking while driving out of a parking lot, then suddenly lost all power (steering, lights, brakes) and wouldn't start again. When towed in for diagnosis, technicians found no oil in the engine and suspected possible rod failure, even though your oil had been changed less than 3 months earlier and there were no visible leaks underneath. You had noticed the oil warning light flickering on hills for about a week before the failure. Fixing this will likely require engine inspection or replacement to determine if internal engine damage occurred due to oil loss.

You received a recall notice for your 2010 Kia Sportage's brake system (NHTSA Campaign 23V652000), but your dealer confirmed the required parts aren't available yet. You're concerned that the manufacturer has taken too long to make these parts available for the recall repair. The fix will involve replacing or repairing hydraulic brake system components once parts become available.
