Hyundai Canada replaced the 2.0 in my 14 tucson today. No questions asked. But the dealer had done most of the maintenance. Engine was knocking but not failed. Have your records. Do the pms. Watch the oil level.

The only recall i had recently was the anti theft but before that was the software on my 2018 hyundia alentra gt hatchback 2.0 i do all the maintenance at dealerships but i had my fair share of problems with my car 😢 .

2018 elantra 2.0 nu here. Bought it certified pre owned July 2021 w/ 18k on it. Here is is April 2023 and only have 33k on it. Changed my oil to find metal in it. Car started smoking a few days later. Im glad i stumbled across the new recall from a few months ago. Im calling my dealership monday to get this rolling. No car with 33k on it should have metal in the oil and be potentially leaking coolant into the combustion chamber causing it to smoke.

Thanks, man!

We just had or 16 Soul engine replaced. Thankfully our car got approved to the swap. Think we were lucky because we had the highest level warranty, and had it serviced just at the dealership. They couldn't reject us. I feel for the folks getting screwed around. It's soooo stressful, we depend on these things to get work and get shizz done.

I am having a motor replacement this Wednesday because it's going through a lot of oil . It's a 2017 kia rio.

I got somewhat lucky with my wording before watching this video. I said my car was burning oil but followed up immediately with the recall on the 2.4L. So the lady was nice enough to schedule a basic checkup with a possible technician cost. My intent is to have physical copies of the last 3-4 oil changes/repairs as well as photo evidence of oil consumption to demand a replacement engine on the spot. My local dealers are busy but I'll try to update my comment with how it goes in a couple of weeks.

We have a 2016 Kia Forte and have been told that the Fortes are not included in the engine recall. Our Kia stopped on an interstate when our 19 year old daughter was driving. The dealership said that Fortes are not included so engine replacement would be at our cost.

Thanks for the info! I have a 2017 kia optima that I bought in 2020. It was a certified pre owned vehicle. It had 29,000 miles. At 35,000 miles I slammed on brakes and oil light came on. So I immediately called dealer. The protocol was to do a deep clean of engine. It fixed issue and failed the 2nd oil consumption test. So they replaced engine that has a red dipstick that indicates ksds update. Now at around 60,000 i was having another engine burning oil issue. I was also told when engine was replaced that engine came with a lifetime warranty. So when having issue with new engine replacement. I discussed with manager of dealer. He told me that wasn't true. So to make a long story short I was also told they just replaced engine and the original spark plugs were put back into engine. Now I'm working on trying for a second engine replacement as it burned 2 qts of oil in 1000 miles. They did same thing as another decarb cleaning. Then I bring back in 1000 miles. If it burns more then a qt of oil. They decide whether to fix or replace engine. Supposedly the newer engines are updated and have BMW engineers designing them. Plus come with new spark plugs too. I'm not sure how true that is, but I will ask my mechanic who I trust because he isn't out to rip me off. My mechanic was one that made me aware of burning oil. Thank GOD I haven't had to pay a dime as it's under warranty. Car even came with an extended warranty. My mechanic told me before to not buy it because they are known for engine issues. I live in illinois and was wondering if you knew how lemon law worked on a used car. I know you have to have 3 issues of same thing before it's considered a lemon for new cars. Not sure how it works for a used car. As I'm going to research that option if needed.

Thanks. My 2017 Santa Fe Sport engine just went. But I informed the original dealer Suntrip Hyundai my car was burning oil. I can see the puff of smoke coming out the tailpipe merging onto the hwy. 1 day I had a misfire. Which I was going to replace spark plugs myself. Seen the rear of my engine. The changed a spark plug & charged me. So about 3 weeks later was time for my oil change. I told them again it's burning oil 74k miles. They said I had a valve cover leak right at the corner near passenger side fire wall. I told no oil spill on the under body cover or ground. I paid for that fix. Change dealership & now misfire came back. New dealership say U need a new engine & they put in a claim with Hyundai. Smh, how 1 dealer trying get money & other is honest. After this I will never own a Hyundai again

I have a 2016 Kia Soul that is right now as I am typing this getting the the Engine repaired due to meeting the qualifications for the recall. However my damaged catalytic converter didn't qualify because they said I was out of warranty. The reason I am contacting you is because you have a large platform and will be able to get the word out to others. 1. Some people qualify for Engine replacement solely off the extended warranty of the current recall. This applies to people who type in their VIN # but their specific VIN # is not tied to any recalls. When this happens they can only get an extended warranty (if one is being offered) for their specific vehicle's year, make and model. In this particular situation with the Kia Engines; the engine has an extended warranty but the catalytic converter doesn't. So the Kia dealerships parts and service manager will have to contact the manufacturer on your behalf and request a "goodwill" approval for the affected part not covered under extended warranty. 2. In contrast, If you type in your VIN # and YOUR specific VIN# does come up as being part of the recall itself. Then the recall will supercede any warranty (whether you have one or not) for both the catalytic converter and the engine, because the recall never expires and it supercedes the warranty ONLY IF YOUR SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL 3. Because I fell in the first category the dealership that is repairing my vehicle got the ball rolling on requesting the goodwill repair for my Cat. I also reached out to the NHTSA who told me to submit a safety complaint about the KSDS fix not actually stopping the Catalytic converter from failing. They said the more people we can get to complain about the KSDS fix not working, then the NHTSA can put pressure on the manufacturer to ALSO issue an extended lifetime warranty for the catalytic converter as well. I will keep you posted as to whether or not I got the goodwill repair

Have a Kia Sorento with 119 and engine just seized up on us. Never got around to doing the software recall and Kia says they won’t help. Is there any recourse to getting them to budge on the engine swap or am I SOL? Thanks for the info.

My 2011 Sonata died this past Friday. Have an appt on the 29th. Praying Hyundai covers it.

I am waiting for my 2023 I30N(280 HP, 8 speed DCT, Europe). Maybe you have this engine/setup in USA on Veloster N or Elantra N? Are these engines just as problematic? Still, in 2023?

Damn I wish I saw this video… I’m in the middle of replacing my rod bearings in my 2016 Kia optima… turns out the engine was swapped before I bought the car at 30,000 miles. Now I’m at 98,000 miles and my rod bearings (and possibly more) went out. But Kia denied my claim because I don’t have receipts for all my oil changes, I do them myself. So since I couldn’t prove my oil had been changed on time they said I was shit outta luck. I want ti get out of this car so and after this but honestly I don’t want anyone else to deal with this nonsense.

I just bought a optima 2012 turbo with 157,000 miles on it from a lot because I desperately needed to get to work and spending 400 a week on Uber's . I didn't do any research or background checks and so far a week later I put new tires and brakes on it . The engine idles a little rough you can hardly notice it. After reading hundreds of reviews over the internet I'm afraid to get in it and drive it at this point.

Wait, is there a recall for the evap canister? I had that replaced because I couldn't pump gas and paid for it. Now I am having an issue with the car stalling after getting gas. No codes. I'm taking it back because the Kia dealership tried to tell me that it was bad gas and that the canister and close valve they replaced was fine. It's definitely not bad gas. I have been paying close attention to when it acts up. I am going to have to look more into this. Kia just sent me a letter about the recall expansion. I know I did one software update for the engine and I need to make sure that is all I needed to do.

I have 2014 Kia Forte5 manual 2.0 GDI engine burns crazy amount of oil. I do my own oil change with full synthetic. Right now almost 200000km on it. Do you think they will replace my engine?

When they replace the engine, do they put new spark plugs etc as well ?

Legit just happened to me on Thursday and took it in Friday. I called told them it was for the recall, i even let the guy hear it and he was like whoa bring it in. Made sure i had oil in it and now just waiting for Kia to approve it. Once this is done im switching my car as this is one of the worst vehicles i have ever purchased.

I have a 2014. 111.000 miles. And started knocking.I was told that my engine doesn't qualify for a replacement. Because it has a savage title. But in excellent shape. I'm told they need to rebuild my engine at the cost of $7000.whats your take on this?

Got my new engine after catastrophic engine failure. The only thing is that KIA ran out of long block engines so I had to settle for a short block engine. The short block engine doesn't quite feel like the long block but what the heck? I've got a lifetime warranty secured no matter what ever else happens to the engine.

@ichardriebe8056

11 ай бұрын

It should feel exactly the same because long/short block aren’t different engines a short block means it only comes installed with bottom end components rods/pistons/crankshaft long block means it comes with all that plus cylinder head and all the valve train (top end) installed so in your case you have a new bottom end and ur old top end also anything that bolts too the front or the or the sides is also from ur old engine the only possible exception being the water pump

You will also need proof of any and all work/maintenance done - specifically oil changes. My 2013 was towed to one shop, who diagnosed the blown engine - I had no choice but to tell Kia it was the motor. From start to finish - almost 8 weeks to get my car back. Total cost to me $0.00. Now it just sucks that my odometer says 138k but it only has about 4k

Do you just have to say it’s a recall for the engine regardless if their online VIN checker says there’s recalls on it? I checked my 2017 sonata for recalls and nothing came up but it’s drinking that oil

I didnt keep receipts of oil changes and I DIY. I can prove I bought filters and some oil but not much oil. Will I have an issue?

2019 Soul turbo, the Son's Kia GA said tuff you reached 100k. Talked to Kia Rep, said not our problem.

I have a 2015 Sonata with about 180k, it burns about a quart a week (I drive a lot). My dealer wouldn't even do the 'consumption test' because I dont change the oil at the dealer and I didn't have some flash update in 2019. Is there still hope?

I have a 2016 1.6L Soul. I put in the VIN into any of the recall sites and it says no recalls. I guess the 1.6L is safe?

RECALLS ARE ONLY COVERING GDI engine, not the MPI engine, right now i am going through this situation, VIN number dealer says has no recalls. My car is in the dealer shop for further diagnosis, already 500$ in, no repair, very frustrating.

Thanks!

Hi! Unfortunately, I am experiencing the same problems you explained in your video. My 2015 Kia Optima 4CYL just seized the other day while driving. I was not due for oil change until another 3,000 miles or until the month of May... Obviously the Oil was burning wayyy too fast since I still had another 3 months or 3k miles to go before I was due for a change so finally the engine just blew.. I called my dealership today and they said that there were NO recalls for my vehicle but they will still gladly take a look at it.. What should I do/show the dealership before bringing my car in so they don’t take advantage of the situation? Also my check oil lights NEVER came on at ANY time leading up to the engine seizing..

Aug 13, 2023 - My Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.4L engine just seized also. No warnings, no check engine lights, no knocking, no indicators it would go out. Regular shop oil changes. Jan 27th, 2023 I had all the engine gaskets and seals replaced and maintenanced for a small oil leak by my non-hyundai certified shop, the engine stopped leaking oil, it had fresh oil in it, then all of a sudden the engine seized. The shop I towed it to said the engine seized, and that the engine oil was dry. I wasn't due for an oil changed for thousands of miles. Dealership said they would take a look at it. 132,000 miles. The extended warranty ran out, insurance won't touch it. Quotes for used engine replacement is $4000 for the engine alone. Replacing it upwards of $6k-$10k replacement total cost.

I wish i saw this sooner. I have a 17 sorento 2.4 that i bought 5 months ago. The engine just blew and i have no idea if they did the ksd. Im hoping the dealership i got it from did. I haven't had it long enough to recieve a notice, and nothing was said at the dealership. I stay on top of maintenance, so having a engine fail 7k miles after driving it off the lot is insane to me. I dont get how engine replacement is even up for debate. Engines dont fail at 70-80k. Mine was burning 1.5 quarts per 1000 miles since the day i bought it. (That doesn't happen overnight, so it has probably been burning it for way longer) They wouldn't do anything then, so i doubt they will now.

What is recall for the 2017 Soul + with the Nu 2.0 engine.

Just got off the phone with Kia. They said the new engine was covered. But I have to pay for the catalytic converter which is 1600. The website is telling me both the engine and the catalytic converter is covered with no cost to me. The dealership is saying otherwise. Should I lawyer up?

Never have had a problem with my 13 RIO. 142000 miles. I change the oil myself every 4,000 miles using Mobil One synthetic and Mobil One filter.

Hello I’m contacting you regarding my Kia forte I’ve had for almost 5 years. It only has 57,000 miles on it! I recently found out about the faulty engine last week when my engine blew. Im a second owner and never received anything about a recall for my vehicle. The dealer now says that they won’t fix it because I missed the recall. I’m still legally under the original warranty. I feel wronged. Please if you have any advice, reach out to me!

Really could use the help I have a 2015 kia sorento at 98,000 miles it was burning oil. They did a oil Consumption test and was burning 2 quarts a 1000 miles the said it was a valve seal and rebuilt the head. Then about 125,000 its burning oil again. Now they say it's a piston ring and it's pasted the 100,000 mile warranty and it's not covered and I would have to pay about 7,000$ to replace the engine. I found they have a class action law suit in 2021 saying it covers pistons and other small block parts like rod bearings and crank case but they told me it only applies for rod bearing and that's not the problem. So now I don't know what to do the vehicle is still at the dealership don't know what to do next I don't have that kind of money.

I'm in the US. I'm the sole owner of a 2020 KIA Sportage. My daughter drove it to Columbus, Ohio from Chicago, Illinois and the engine died there. It was taken to Capital KIA in Columbus. It was discovered that a cap cracked off a spark plug, fell into the cylinder, ricocheted around creating a hole. It required a new engine. It was under warranty, only 33,000 miles on it. The dealership had it for 7 weeks and replaced the engine with a short block. I picked it up in Columbus and drove it back to Chicago without issues. Exactly one week later the engine has failed again. My nearest KIA dealership has it and stated it could be weeks before they lay hands on it to even diagnose the problem.

Wow 😢 so sorry to hear that!

Have a 2015 sonata with the 2.4l engine. I want to start by saying I will never own another Hyundai and here are many reasons why. At just 116k miles the engine randomly started misfiring and the check engine light came on while driving down the highway. After limping it home I got the car scanned and it showed a misfire in the 3rd cylinder. After attempting small fixes like spark plugs and plug wires I decided to take it to Long Hyundai, this was my second mistake aside from buying a junk Hyundai in the first place. I stopped taking our car there for oil changes initially because I found an oil filter I had changed the last time still on the car after I paid them for an oil and filter change. With the car at Long, Chris from service stated it had no compression in the 3rd cylinder and it needed head work ($5300), but was pushed to do an engine replacement which was quoted to me at $7-8k, that I would be responsible for. After trying and getting no real diagnosis on the actual problem and a very difficult time trying to communicate with the service department, I picked the car up and coughed up the $200 “diagnostic” fee for nothing. Once I picked up the car I finally got the service report and the diagnosis was “blown head gasket.” I did not have a single symptom of a blown head gasket- no coolant in the oil, no overheating, no smoke out of the exhaust, coolant was clean in the over flow tank with no bubbling. I immediately drove to S&S Auto for a second opinion and they quickly found metal material in my oil and no symptoms of a head gasket issue. Long either completely missed this or did not want to tell me. I personally saw the shavings in the oil when I picked it up from S&S. They advised me about the warranty campaign Hyundai has on the 2.4liter engines and they didn’t charge me anything for the diagnostics. After doing my own research I decided to take it back to a dealership to have them handle the situation. I called the service director-John- at Long Hyundai to explain the situation and told him I was taking the car to a different Hyundai service center to reassess. He did not care that I was taking it to another dealership after Long has misdiagnosed the issue. John just told me, “Well let me know what they find.” (Tried getting a hold of him multiple times since and have never gotten a call back) After moving the car to a third shop, this time Mnt View Hyundai, which is about an hour from my house, I talked to Brian about what was going on and he stated they have been cleaning up a lot of issues from Long. After he had the car for a couple of days he stated he had found the metal shavings in the oil and that the car was misfiring and it should be taken care of under Hyundai’s warranty campaign 953 for excessive bearing wear on the crank. He went back and forth with Hyundai Motors America and I had to give them all my receipts for the oil changes I had done and they stated that my issue was not covered under warranty since my engine wasn’t knocking or locked up yet (basically because it hadn’t left me stranded on the side of the road), but that they would cover 85% of the replaced engine. After fighting for another week and hours on the phone with Hyundai’s warranty departments and Hyundai customer care with no resolve, I had agreed to cover the 15% that Hyundai wouldn’t cover. I was still mad they wouldn’t cover 100% from their own warranty, but it was better knowing Long was going to charge me $7-8k. Brian helped me get a rental car covered from Hyundai since some of the items were on back order. I was very grateful for that since I hadn’t had the car for two weeks at this point. A couple weeks later Brian called me and stated the car should be ready in a day or two and suggested random replacements, like air filters and brakes (all I take care of myself and have receipts on the last time I changed them) I picked up the car and paid my 15% of the cost which ended up being $828. I told him I wanted a test drive, no offense to him or the dealership, but I can’t trust anyone. Upon entering the vehicle I noticed the abs light and traction light on and the blind spot detection wasn’t working. I took it for a drive and went back and talked to Brian about that, stating there was no issue with this when I brought it. He had a tech sheet stating they ran the code when they got the car and it was on. I asked why it was never brought up to me while the car was in his shop for almost 3 weeks. He stated the tech ran some tests and stated it was operating properly and didn’t want to sell me a part I didn’t need. I stated having the abs and traction light on could be dangerous and could malfunction and he stated “it won’t lock up” and “it’s fine”. However, he did offer to fix the issue for free labor and I pay for the part, which was $360. I told him I wasn’t giving Hyundai any more money and drove my car home with all three of those lights on my dash. I am glad the car has a new engine and Brian did help me out with a lot of things, but there are still issues that should have been taken care of that just weren’t. The last month with the car and dealing with all of Hyundai has been beyond frustrating and I now have a car I don’t trust or feel safe in. They have definitely lost me and my family as customers and I hope anyone reading this will think twice before buying anything made by Hyundai.

My Kia is getting an engine replacement!!!! Yay! My vin was applicable for the new theta ii class action. I was almost charged My engine blew on the highway and I told them about the recall.

We have a 2017 that burns oil like crazy! It’s now fowling out the spark plug for cyclinder 3 constantly! After like 100 miles, it fowls the new plug again! What should I do! It uses a quart of oil like every 300 miles!

They dont replace them with "new" engines. They just rebuild the ones from crashes and junk cars. They have the exact same issue. Trade that thing in ASAP! doing a video now on the car.

Beck & Masten Tomball lady told me twice that my vehicle has no recall by looking up the VIN#, but Kia directly confirmed I do and also Joe Myers Kia also confirmed. Idk what shady stuff the lady at Beck & Masten Tomball was trying to pull on me both times I called a few months back. She was definitely trying to get me to pay for a diagnostic, that's for sure. Mine started burning oil at around 60k miles and I'm at like 75k miles now.

my son's 2018 kia optima has 89k miles and is using a lot of oil. I called a dealership and they looked up the vin number and said it qualifies but it has to be knocking or check engine light on with the pcode or simply locked up. they said it was unlimited time and mileage on the recall and they have not had trouble with kia turning down replacements

I bought a toyota Camry that also started using oil..they delayed me until the warranty was out .now my daughter has a Optima doing the same thing..same delay tactics..so add Kia and Toyota to a growing list I'll never buy from again. but who do you buy from to get a dependable ride without spending 6 digits?

Spun a bearing on our 2015, towed it in Monday (its now Wednesday) the engine is already being replaced through the warranty.

You are a very lucky person!

We paid $120 for a diagnostic. They told us they didn’t have time to take the motor apart to see what’s wrong with it but they can replace the motor for $5000. We just replaced a tie rod on the driver side. They said the motor wasn’t knocking and that’s part of the recall. What do I need to do.

Hey man I have a 2015 kia forte, its burning oil. I literally have to put oil in it every two weeks. The letter i just received said I should call the 1-800 number. Do you think its best i call my local kia dealership instead?

The 2.0 Turbo engine in my 2015 Santa Fe with 57,000 miles failed in May 2023 and the dealership had the car for a total of 76 days straight until they replaced the engine. Then immediately after I got it back it had a massive oil leak which they charged me $850 to repair. It kept leaking after that and they didn’t charge me any more but had my car a total of 20 additional days over 4 separate occasions. Is there any way to get the $850 refunded to me? I told them the car had no oil leak before the engine failed but I really didn’t have a choice, it was pay that or the $295 diagnostic fee and then take it to another shop or fix it myself. I also didn’t get the one-time “inconvenience” payment due to me as mentioned in the settlement document because they had my car longer than 30 days. Any guidance on these 2 issues would be greatly appreciated. BTW, I bought the car new, never had an issue with it and love the car. I typically buy new cars every 3-5 years but kept this one because it meets all my needs. I took extremely good care of it and it looks better than many cars that are just a couple of years old. After the engine failure I was doing quite a bit of research on it and ran across other cars with recalls and major issues so it’s not like Hyundai is the only manufacturer with problem cars. Additionally my wife recently bought a new Mercedes and it has issues, minor issues but never the less we’re inconvenienced with them. Thanks for listening and any advice you may have.

Given all of these issues described, why buy a KIA/Hyundai these days? Better to get a Toyota or Honda or something with a good track record. Reliability is the #1 thing in my book. My dad for example has a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis with 250K miles on it. It is not the most flashy car, although it's comfortable and above all else very reliable. Other than occasionally changing the transmission fluid and staying on time with oil changes he's had to put zero work in the drivetrain. I'd check Consumer Reports to see reliability scores on any vehicle I was looking to get.

Just got my 2015 Sportage approved for an engine replacement!!!! 115k miles, didn’t ask for maintenance records or anything, although I was prepared! My car was at the dealership for less than 24 hours before I got the approval call. The sensor was installed by the dealership I purchased my car at back in ‘19. But I think I would’ve gotten approved even if it hadn’t. Kia of Irvine is incredible!!!

​@alesiarobinson7572 Did you happen to have that particular code that's under recall? I forget the code but I had it pop up over a year or so ago and they did the software pr computer update and I'vebeen good everysince. Does the code have to be active to get the engine replacement approved? Should have mention my engine died today while sitting parked and idling. Just changed the spark plugs not even a year ago after the engine started vibrating bad. That fixed it. Was gonna change the spark plugs again hoping that's what it is again this time but the vibration is heavier now every time I try to start it. Might finally be the end but hopefully I can get a free replacement. Last time I talked to kia about a manifold intake code issue they said I would have to pay the Diagnostics fee since the code wasn't the knock sensor code. Hope that's not the case since I don't have any codes at the time. No engine light came on at all Thanks for any help

@@adictiveadictive I’m going to be honest. I called a local Kia service center, told them I needed them to check out some issues related to some recalls and gave them my Vin number. They looked up my car and told me I had three recalls that needed attention (HECU, Anti-theft and a canister recall). The tech asked what was going on with my car and this is excatly what I said.. “I was on a road trip on a single lane road in the desert. I was passing a vehicle when suddenly my engine light started flashing and my car quickly decelerated. I drove my car to safety and the engine began knocking. A mobile mechanic was called and told me there was no oil in the car despite not having a leak and receiving an oil change 2,000 miles ago. I need this checked out because I believe this is related to recent engine recalls/campaigns”. The tech told me I need to get my car towed to their facility right away for inspection. Less than 24 hours later I get a call saying my engine is approved, I was issued a loaner car and my claim for reimbursement was approved! I only knew my KSDS update was installed because I called a different dealership to verify. I was never asked for maintenance records, I wasn’t told how I was approved or what codes popped up. It truly was one of the most seamless experiences which leads me to believe that your chances of getting an engine replacement matters less about codes and parts installed and more about the dealership you take it to. So please call around first. If the dealerships first response is to charge you for a diagnostic check, move on. They’re not interested in helping you. If they tell you to get your car in right away and sound genuinely concerned, that’s the dealership you want to go to. I’ll ask about the codes to get you a firm answer but my tech told me, everything checked out and I’m getting a new engine so it sounds like maybe I did have the P1360 (I think that’s the code) alert

Mine still burns oil. I have done some engine flushes with liqui moly and seafoam.some valve cleaner in gas tank. Mpg up and quieter. It is using oil maybe 50% less. About half a qt every 800 miles. It varies for all on this process.

So my 2015 Optima just Stopped working!! Thank god We Found your video!! So are we screwed since it’s not working or do I still call and tell them everything you just said ???

My sons 2017 Optima has the THETA 2 engine and the engine died. Had it towed to the local Kia dealership here in Lafayette, LA and they told him his vehicle is ineligible for Kia to replace his engine. For us to replace it, Kia wants $7,000. I’m kind of at a loss on this issue. He bought his vehicle in 2018 at this dealership.

As I stated in my original comment, engine only has a 10-year 100,000 mi warranty. However, if maintenance wasn't kept, they can deny your claim. It's as simple as that and that goes for any dealership, including Toyota Lexus BMW Mercedes. Everybody pretty much has a similar policy in place. If you do not follow the maintenance procedures, they can deny your claim even if you paid for an extended warranty in an extra warranty. The term warranty doesn't really cover much as I found out for myself.

My wife has a 2016 kia optima LX turbo. Her engine blew up a week ago with rob bearing failure and needs a new engine. According to any of the recall websites, her car is not part of any recall. How can I go to the dealership and get them to fix the issue that's obviously a failure due to manufacturer defects when there is no recall on that specific car.

Does anyone know how the new 2.5L Smart stream engines are doing? Has reliability improved with this new engine?

Does the recall include the Kia Sorento?

For my 2017 forte the dealer wants a non refundable $600 to tear the engine down to determine if it'll be warranted due to rod bearing failure. Is this a shakedown?

Thank you took my hyundai and they denied the motor gonna try this at a different hyundai

My 2018 kia stinger engine went out less than a year after I got it warranty said they won't cover it. Will this work for me ?

I called my local dealership, and I told them I was told by their service department that there is a recall on my engine, and it’s burning oil. They asked for my Vin number and they told me there is no current engine recalls for Kia , But if you want to bring it in and we can diagnose it. We can make that appointment for you I said how much will that cost me . He said, let me contact the service department then said he will have somebody call me and contact me on the price.
