Car Stall problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Soul

The defect may cause damage to the catalytic converter due to overheating, resulting in abnormal engine combustion and damage to the engine pistons. Piston damage can result in a stall, increasing the risk of a crash. If a piston rod breaks and punctures the engine block, oil can escape, increasing the risk of a fire. The engine caught on fire while I was driving on the highway. I was sold this car without being told of any recalls.

They are currently having it towed to a kia dealer for diagnostic testing. Currently I own $400. 00 just for the rental.
