That’s really smart, I did the same thing, lol I’ve heard of quite a few cases where they declined it due to low oil.

They probably lied about the vehicle being low on oil. You said you never had any issues with low oil levels when you changed the oil, you did not notice any burning oil. Glad Kia went good for the repairs for you. Maybe a good time to sell it and buy a Toyota or Honda?

I'm experiencing this right now. And yes Fidelity is the warranty company I'm actually awaiting a decision on whether or not they're going to fix my car. Yes I too was burning oil and knew it and reported it to Kia on many occasions where they told me that it was normal for this model car that I have. I knew that was bullshit but I kept the service up on time and I also kept checking to make sure my oil levels were okay and when my car finally failed I took it in. Kia has had my car now for 2 weeks still awaiting a decision.

For all the naysayers my 2019 F150 with the 3.5L just blew and it is immaculately maintained. All kinds of newer vehicles can have issues.

And now I am waiting for an answer from the dealer. And my car is a Hyundai Veloster 2015 and only has 69,000 miles on it.

So I’ve been going back and forth with the warranty company for three months now and it’s just in review. I showed them oil changes and everything. I’ve had this car for less than two years and the warranty is about to run out. I feel like they just don’t wanna pay and know it’s not my fault. This is insane.

I've owned a 2011 Kia Sorento with a 2.4 4cyl since 2010 (before GDI) with the dealer's purchase incentive 'Tires-For-Life'. After 12 years and 100k miles, besides regular routine fuel and maintenance costs, I have come out of pocket for (less than $2,500) 3 car batteries, four sets of windshield wipers, and just recently CV boots and head gasket and serpentine belt. The old car has developed some squeaks and rattles, but it has been inexpensive and reliable and I'm glad I bought it. I also own a 2017 Kia Soul+ with no issues.

What the heck happened to Hyundai/Kia? My impression was that they were really making great strides with regards to quality and reliability. Back in 2010 (or thereabouts), I even remember talking with a tow truck driver, while he was towing my Oldsmobile, and he recommended, based on the the make of the cars he towed, that I buy a new Hyundai. And my co-worker at the time owned a Kia, and it was very reliable. I had to buy a new car last year and almost bought a Kia, because of the warranty. But after watching all the KZread videos about issues with Hyundai/Kia, I ultimately bought a Mazda 3.

They shouldn't cost as much as a newer model used Corvette and yet they do. It's very easy to see why people don't spring for Honda and Toyota given the price difference. An old used Rav4 with over 100K miles in the northeast states can still cost close to $25,000 grand. That's just ridiculous for a used car with that much mileage. And a brand new Rav4 is closer to $35 -$40K after dealer markup. Most people don't have that to throw away on a car.

There is a Really good Video as to why called ( Why KIA Engines Fail ) The Mechanic Breaks an Engine down and Explains it in Detail... There are 2 Things a Person should look into as the Cause... One is a $15 Dollar the PCV Valve Sticking Causing it to Burn Oil Very Quickly,,, and Beside the Oil Pump Being Inadequate,,,, the Other is the OIL Itself... These Cars Need Synthetic Oils,, and Not just any Oil,,, but more Specifically API/SP + GF-6A or B,, Depending on the Year...Plus You will need to find a way to keep Your Fuel system and Valves Clean...Just adding Fuel Cleaner to Your Gas is not going to do... You need something to go into the Air Intake or a Vacuum Line to get at the back of those Valves... In 2017 when I bought my Kia,,, They didnt really have the Right Oils for these Direct Injected engines in the First Place.. In My Opinion,,, KIA Scarified those Engines in Order to meet Emissions Standards... Tiny Oil Pump,,, The PCV Valve is Easy to Replace,,, and for $15 Dollars I would Replace it every 2 or 3 Years.. I would Spend the Extra Money On Proper Oil as it is Way Cheaper than Replacing the Engine,,, and because these Engines Carbon up..

There are Tiny oil drain back holes in the Pistons. Over time those holes can get plugged up with carbon.

@@sasmills do you also have a stinger? Because it is not the theta 2 engine It's a lambda engine So are they doing lifetime warranty on all of their engines? They should!

@@tonifonseca9178 If it is the GT then it has the lambda. The base kia stingers use a 2.0t Theta engine. If it is a lambda you should be fine. However If it is a concern to you then I recommend getting it checked out anyway.

Knocking=pinking is very dangereous for engine. The internal gap are too big. The quality of oil is the cause. The engine stress to the start engine. The engine must be warm a little bit. Do not force the engine more than 3000 rot/min.

KIA never gives the 100,000 to the second or other buyer. You should of said to them the engine has a problem under the recall. Fix it. The engine recall is for over a number of years going back to at least 2016 and I think it was even later.

this was a recall issue- kia is replacing their motors

Something's rotten in Denmark !

so they're sayin' if a car changes hands the warranty is void? 😂 i bought a 2yr old civic from a non honda dealer, it had an issue that honda fixed under the original warranty no questions asked.

Gotta love Kias and Hyundais--either they get stolen, catch fire or the engine blows up.

Kia and Hyundais are complete crap

We love our Kias. My mother had a 2015 Kia Sorento SXL with the V6. It only got sold because at 120k miles it needed a new motor because of a blown head gasket which was the fault of my mother for driving the vehicle with a coolant leak until it overheated. My friend had a 2011 Kia Sorento that was still in great condition when they sold it and it had 180k miles on it, all she wanted was a newer car. Our k5 has been doing just fine so far.

So he climbed a hill. Hard on the engine. Then it just died. Was the oil lite on when you were climbing the hill or were you off in lala land. You knew you were having a problem why didn't you pay attention to your car?

So it sounds like these have bad engines. But people are also unsure of how much oil is in their engines. Why would that be? Have they heard of a dipstick? Its a bit strange imo.

pretty sure its the gdi

2.4 theta engine common failure

No offence but your first mistake was buying a Kia in the first place... you got lucky, take this chance to get rid of it.

engines are on a recall

I know this is hindsight it's also intelligent site you should have bought a Honda or a Toyota

Older kias 2015 and lower had faulty engines and some new models, don't let that deter you from buying kia/Hyundai. Great affordable and good cars. Hondas and Toyotas are too overpriced now

Ha ha we are going through this same story right now with the Kia 60,000 mile or 6 minute warranty

Thousands of them have failed .burning oil

If you can find one of these used private party with a new engine, buy it, especially if the car has under 100,000 miles
