Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Sportage

I was driving as normal, on my way home. The car started to make a fluttering noise so I thought it could be my rotors. However, the car began to make a squeaking noise in the form of chirps and got louder as I tried to accelerate. I came to a stop at construction and when I went to go forward the car would not go over 2000 rpm. I pulled over and turned the car off. When I started it, it made a horrible screeching noise. Sounded like a belt flapping around and something else made the noise. I took it to a mechanic and he identified metal flakes in the oil. The engine is confirmed to have failed. The breaking of the engine is not to to user error as I have kept it very well maintained and had frequent oil change/ tune ups. The incident was out of the blue and would not have been able to identify the issue prior to the engine failing. Had I been on the highway this could have caused a serious accident, thankfully I was on a local mountain road.

April 18 2019 coming home on the highway, the engine started "knocking" real loud made it home (by luck) and the next day I called briggs kia. Had it towed and I was informed that the engine was "blown"and that they had to replace the engine. I have had this car a year and a half. I am the second owner and I feel that this engine should have not blown like this. My pontiac that I traded for this car had over two hundered thousand miles and the only thing I had replaced was the brakes,battery,fan belt and starter. Of the 8 cars have owned (all general motors) this is the first time I have had an engine blown in a vehicle. Kia dealership said they could not help me because there was no recall on that engine. So I called kia consumer assistance and they gave me a complaint number # 11203341. I was also advised that kia might be able to help me with "good will" to reimbursement for the failure of this engine. Cost of the engine repair was $ 8906. 59 and briggs did not lend me a loaner car. I had to pay for a rental at the cost of $ 280. 00 I'm 74 years old and on a fixed income and I had to take out a loan for the repairs and rental. Briggs said I had a 12/12 warranty(used engine) tried to call your office !-800-333-4542 but, was placed on hold for 15 minutes. I checked with recallmasters. Com and it stated there was a recall on kia Sportage with engine freeze up causing knocking noise. Please see if you can help me in some way. Thanks former u. S. Marine veit nam veteran.
