Manifold/header/muffler/tail Pipe problems of the 2011 Kia Motor Sorento

We have taken our 2011 kia Sorento to mulitple dealerships to get fixed. All say the engine is shot. There is a seal inside the engine that is making the vehicle not work. There is multiple recalls for other years of the kia Sorento but not ours. The mechanics say that this year and make has had multiple issues with the engine. I am wondering when this year will be recalled for engine issues? when I start the 2011 kia is spudders and blows smoke out the muffler. I have been told that the whole engine needs to be replaced. The spuddering and smoke happens right when I start the vehicle. It is a 2011 and I only have 96k miles on it.

The car was not always responding to me when I wanted to accelerate, I would hear the rpms going up but the car would not go faster, then a puff of white smoke would come out the tail pipe. Then one day, I was driving the car and it started making a clanking noise when I would push the gas pedal. It sounded like the noise a roller coaster makes when you are clanking up the hill at the beginning. Took the car to the dealership and they took the engine apart to find the problem. The car has an engine defect that was diagnosed by a kia dealer as a manufacturers defect. Now the car is not drivable and kia is refusing to pay for a new engine. Kia needs to recall all vehicles with these engines. They are built by Hyundai and they recalled their vehicles with the same engines.

The contact owns a 2011 kia Sorento. The contact stated that an unknown warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the intake manifold failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000. The VIN was not available.
