I've been experiencing issues with my engine for over 5 years on my 2011 kia Sportage that are same issues described for the sc147 recall with the bearing wear issue. It's extremely unsettling to drive on the highway as this is only when the problem occurs at a higher speed (anything over 60 mph). I will be driving at speed and the engine for a split second with stall out and shoot right back to the high speed. The car jolts and the engine light will flicker. If you continue to drive the problem increases and happens more along the route unless you drop down to 50. However after you continue to drive the car will begin to shake and if you slow down it idle's very loud and as if to stall and the engine light will come on and remain on. Once the car is shut off and allowed to sit all problems go away until the next time. For 5+ years I have complained of this issue with the dealership and never have they found a problem. My VIN is not listed on this recall but can it be the same problem?.
