Some owners of Hyundai/Kia products are up in arms about oil - and not the price of it on the world’s markets. A cadre of eight people in America, ranging in location from California to Texas to Massachusetts, have brought forth a class-action lawsuit earlier this year alleging the engines in certain Hyundai and Kia vehicles consume inordinate amounts of oil. At issue is the apparent need to add engine oil more frequently than the owner’s manual suggests, plus the allegation that some of the wayward oil finds its way into other parts of the vehicle’s gubbins to cause extra damage.
As per the suit, filed by Nye Stirling Hale And Miller; Sauder Schelkopf LLC and Walsh PLLC, plaintiffs contend the defendants “concealed and failed to address” a known manufacturing defect that results in excessive engine oil consumption and can lead to engine stalling and failure. Plaintiffs say that overfilling the engine with oil isn’t a good solution since the chance exists of submerging the crankshaft, a situation which could foam the oil and reduce lubrication. There’s also the issue of extra oil potentially putting undue strain on gaskets and the like.
Elsewhere in this neck of the woods, Hyundai recently expanded an existing recall by over 150,000 vehicles in Canada due to potential problems which could pose a fire risk or lead to the engine suddenly losing power. That defect could be linked to worn connecting rod bearings.
If you’re seeking for a text of the new class-action suit in its entirety, it can be found by searching Cho et al v. Hyundai Motor Company, Ltd. et al. or the clinically impersonal file name of 8:22-cv-00448.
There are a wide variety of Hyundai and Kia models named in the suit, some going back so far as 2009. According to the suit, cars with the allegedly faulty engines include:
2012-2020 Hyundai Elantra
2009-2018 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
2019-2021 Hyundai Kona
2020-2021 Hyundai Palisade
2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe
2015-2021 Hyundai Santa Fe

kia oil consumption lawsuit 2022 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Im in Tomball, Texas. I have a 2015 Kia. Beck and Masten replaced my first engine. The second engine is now knocking two years later. Idk what to do.
You have a lifetime warranty. They will replace it again. Those engines will forever continue to go out. Get the engine replaced and trade it in
@@StraightOuttaContent I will call again. I’m also purchasing your book. Thank you!
@@realtorandrea4804 To be honest, you really don’t need my book at this point. Beck and masten was able to take care of you the first time, I don’t see how they wouldn’t again knowing those engines will keep going out. lol but if you want to buy it just to support that’s cool too 😂
Mine just happened a week ago same year an model wow
@@robertlopez3249 might wanna get my book then
My engine was replaced at 86,000. I called kia Corp. They took 3 days to replace the engine. Warranty was until 120,000 miles. After the knock sensor update. Now have a lifetime warranty on the engine
Did they make you do an oil consumption test first ?
What is corp number
After my kia optima car engine seized at 257000 miles . I towed it to the dealer 3 days later they got the approval from Kia Motors a NEW ENGINE was ordered and installed within a couple days ! got the car back !!!!
ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY!!!!
Thank you for the info you provide and helps everybody who doesn't realize they don't have to pay for it when it's kia is responsibility . again keep up the good work yourself !!!!👍
Is the engine brand new
@@brittanyholden7607 , Yes brand new create freighted from Kia
Did you have the sensor update before the sensor?
What a wonderful, concise explanation. Intelligent and very courteous. I know some KIA owners and will help them with this, Carl. God Bless you.
Super true I got mine replaced for the knock engine censor I didn’t buy it from Kia I got mine at a local lot so please get your car fixed 😊
I'm glad I found this video, I've got to call Hyundai when they open in a few minutes and I definitely don't want to get screwed
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 😢 . But coming across this video is really helpful . I wasnt told anything about any recalls especially being at hyundai dealership just a couple of days ago. I had problems from 12,000 miles to 60,000. Thanks for the video man much appreciated 💯
No problem, just did a live on my other channel @carlsgarage should check that channel out for more information.
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.
Just got my engine replaced. Love your videos
Just had my engine replaced on my 2014 Kia Optima. It took four days. Great job no charge.
ANOTHER SUCCESS!!! thanks for sharing! please share my videos, Im trying to reach as many people as I can.
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.
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.
You would have to let me know what kinda of kia you have. They all burn oil.
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.
what’s the recall for the 2015 kia optima ? and how would you know about the engine issue? because my kia just started making a bad noise yesterday the engine shakes and it only goes 20/30 mph ..
My 2018 Kia optima sxl turbo engine is having the same issue but would also shut off after idling rough. Hopefully this will help thanks for info 🤞🏾
You have been a blessing to me and my family! My Kia Sorento engine went out shortly after buying it from a used local dealer. I didn’t know what to do I was lost and ran into your videos, I have to say thank you for informing and educating us Kia owners.
THANK YOU!!! 🙏🏿 so glad I could help.
Did Kia replace your engine for free even though you got it a a local used dealer I have a 2017 sorento with 90k miles and I want to get this recall fixed before it happens lol
???
I have to say that I built a good relationship with the service guy at the local Kia dealership and he advised that as long as you have records of the oil changes being performed regularly and the recall software has been updated you qualify for a new engine if it does go out.
@@forttexmetalsandroofing4563did you get yours replaced?
Thanks, man!
I just got my 2012 Sportage R T-GDI with a new complete 2023 Engine. It was good that all my software and ecu updates were all downloaded.
They put a G4KH T-GDI 274hp with a 5year warranty.
I hope it’s a good engine
Were you under 150000 miles? They told me no because I’m 23000 miles over that :/
THANKS FOR THE INPUT!!
I am having a motor replacement this Wednesday because it's going through a lot of oil . It's a 2017 kia rio.
Your a life saver. Had 1 engine replaced already due to this recall, thinking I might hafta possibly do it again 😳😳 1st time was a HUGE hassle until I say ur video
Yup! It’s crazy.
What steps did u take to have it replaced, mine just died last week and don't know what to do..
@@jrve9498 My car still works. The steps are Calling your local dealership and getting an appointment
@@jrve9498did you get your engine replaced? My Niro died they said there's a hole in the motor and it must have been driven without oil. Even though I had put oil in recently. My manufacturer warranty my extended warranty and my car insurance are all saying no coverage. 2020 Kia nitro w like 48000 miles. Fml
Hi mate, thanks for helping everyone just a quick one do you know if that applies only in the US? TNX
you are a lifesaver bro,thanks so much
No problem, glad that I could help
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.

I am with my 2016 Kia optima
Please help
My car won’t start and I wasn’t told about the update because it wasn’t around at the time
My car blew up on the freeway. The dealership finally finished it today after 3 months. My invoice is $6,330.15. I have to pay $3,000 cash today! The rest has to be on a card. Engine replacement. I’m so sick of this headache.
Why am I told I’m only
Covered for 120k or upto 10 years in service on engine short block warranty extension ?
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!!!
Yoooo! thats crazy! I got a guy in Frisco who keeps getting denied because he doesnt have the ksds and his engine blew. Do you think you can email me and we can talk more off line on how you got your engine replaced. straightoutofcontent@gmail.com
Oh nevermind, you're in CA. We have a city in Texas called "Irving" Very close but not the same.
@@StraightOuttaContent yeah Irvine, CA. Wish I could help. I think he can escalate through claims though. I have a corporate connect with Kia, I’ll see if she knows of a loophole as many people have had the replacement regardless of the KSDS sensor
@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
Having this issue now, I had to have a mechanic replace a part of the converter just to get me home from a vacation but ye I will make sure to say that I am bringing it in for a recall on the engine and not mention the converter, if they do try to bring that up I will just tell them that is not what I brought it in for and the recall caused me to have to replace it so if they wanna push it they can replace that for free of charge or refund me the $400 I used to fix that as well
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.
I just got a call today stating that Kia will replace my engine 🎉 thanks so much for this video because until I said something they didn’t even recommend. Tried charging for a diagnosis but ended up giving me a loaner car
Congrats can you give more info on what they asked you or what you told them. Thanks mine is currently in the shop. Getting the run around
I bought my Kia Sorento brand new in 2016. It has done 101,000 kilometres and it is less than 8 years.
Am I supposed to have the engine replaced by Kia or buy a new engine myself?
Hi! thank you for infos ! What about 1.5 L engine on the kia xceed 2024???? is good or has also problems? Cheers!
When they replace the engine, do they put new spark plugs etc as well ?
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.
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’ve got a 2023 Sorento SX Prestige with the 2.5 turbo I’m hoping I won’t have issues it’s been fine so far had it 11 months
Hi, I’m in NJ and my 2013 Sonata just stawed on the Highway. Just over 75K. I’m waiting to go to the dealership tomorrow morning. Praying to God they do what’s right.
Im prying you have that ksds! let us know what happens
What happened with your car? did they replace the engine?
Did the dealer replace engine ?
Don’t wait for the 7500 mi service I started changing at 5K cause it started consuming about 1 quart … haven’t noticed anything else so far I have all the recall updates… I have a 2019 Kia optima 2.4L btw
I have the same car, does it fall under the same warranty? It just started burning oil and it doesn’t last no more than 1k miles after oils change.
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.
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?
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 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?
Yeah I discovered that! Seeing this after the fact. It was a recall on my engine that they dont tell you about. Long story short I got approved for a new engine for free & they also paid for the diagnostic test as well. Do your research that's what I did! Thank God for ordering my steps because I would've never knew!
How were you able to get the engine for free?
I went to the Hyundai website put my Vin number in saw that my vehicle was affected. After that you call the Hyundai dealership & the process begins. I had to get a history of all of my oil changes to show them that I got them regularly. I'm glad that I did because they would not have approved it even though it's their fault.
Off subject but I'm a worship singer/choir director too! I love Jesus it was nobody but him that lead me to get a free engine!!!! He know I didn't have the money! All things work together for the the good!! Romans 8:28 I pray it happens for you too!!
@@315prettytlgMam I bought a 2018 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L Sport for 12,000 dollars
It’s just been 3 weeks since I bought it and I got check engine light flashing on dashboard then immediately I took it to auto zone to see what’s going on, then they said it has a code P1326 which is because of an engine recall , I called the dealership and I have scheduled an appointment for today , i have no idea what they gonna say but they told me to get the diagnostics first
Could you please give me some suggestions on it , I pray god gonna save me from this
Getting a car for 12,000 dollars and looking at it like this is the worst thing that happened in my whole life
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.
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
I got rid of the sorento in 2019 because of the engine problems. Can I get a settlement for a 2005 kia sorento purchased 02/07/2006?
Had a Optima I sold it, I couldn’t deal with not knowing when my engine would fail (considering I drive long distance back and forth to college) dad wanted me out of that car ASAP. Aunt still has a 2015 Optima (but like you doesn’t drive it much anymore) that got the ECU update done at 158k miles, the engine has always sounded wonky. It’s not a matter of IF it’s a matter of WHEN it’s gonna fail. Lol, the cars are nice but the mechanics of these 2011-2020 Optima’s are awful.
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?
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?
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?
Thank you
I have a 2013 Kia Soul. It started burning 1.5 quarts at 75,000 miles. I brought to dealer, they verified, Kia replaced engine, gave me a loaner car until done. This was in 2021. I had no problems at all. I didn't know about the engine issues when this happened.
Was your car still under warranty? I’m having the same issue at 73k miles. I’m the second owner so I’m not under the warranty but I do have the KSDS update
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
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
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..
Thank you so much for your video and taking the time to read my concerns!
What's the mileage on the car again?
What happened with your situation? The exact thing happened to me with my 2018 Santa Fe Sport with only 70k miles.
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 knew about this page before I traded in my Kia for a Toyota Camry. I got tired of KIA BS with the rub around. Engine didn’t blow yet but it was consuming oil
My 2011 Sonata died this past Friday. Have an appt on the 29th. Praying Hyundai covers it.
I have a customer with a 2013 sorento that has main bearing failure and I called 2 Kia dealers, both service staff told me there is no such SC147 recall for engine failures.. I am in Canada 🇨🇦
Im not sure. Canada has its own legal laws pertaining to these issues.
They said that to me as well.
Does the recall work for rebuilt cars as well? I recently purchased a kia 2018 optima from facebook marketplace. So far, there has been no issue at all. Will the dealer agree for a recall if it's rebuilt title? Incase they do, should I wait until there is a problem with my engine and then get it replaced, or can I get it replaced now itself?
Recalls can be but warranties are typically void on salvage titled vehicles
Thanks!
Bro! Thank you! Truly appreciate it
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?
Love how all the marketing for these brands touts their quality and design. Looks and features mean little if the most important components fail!

I work for a fleet company out all the new vehicles kia/hyundai are far less problematic than a jeep or Ford. Kia 2.4 theta is the problem child. An elantra with its port injection engine makes it probably second in reliability to the camrys
Name a manufacturer that doesn't claim those things.
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?
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?
I have 2015 kia Sedona 89000 miles P0019 Timing correlation?
Dealer already changed me for diagnostic $216 and the problem is not fixed yet. Now asked for receipts for oil because I was charging oil myself.
My motor went out. I got a new one for free from recall to but it took like 4 months
So my car 2016 Hyundai Tucson just stopped in the middle of the street. I got it towed to my local dealer.....get a phone call the next day saying my engine blew. Without even asking about a recall the dealer told me that was the problem. Long story short i provided my maintenance history and just like that ....new engine!
I guess i got lucky in a way, had the knock sensor fixed under recall the. The engine blew and it was changed in 5 days. The knock sensor buys them time. I was shocked after reading people waited 2 months. In on a Thursday and home on the following weds.
Hello I’m contacting you regarding my Kia forte I’ve had for almost 5 years. It only has 57,000 miles on it! I recently found out about the faulty engine last week when my engine blew. Im a second owner and never received anything about a recall for my vehicle. The dealer now says that they won’t fix it because I missed the recall. I’m still legally under the original warranty. I feel wronged. Please if you have any advice, reach out to me!
RECALLS ARE ONLY COVERING GDI engine, not the MPI engine, right now i am going through this situation, VIN number dealer says has no recalls. My car is in the dealer shop for further diagnosis, already 500$ in, no repair, very frustrating.
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 ???
Gotta check out my new Handbook: www.flashcustomtransfers.com/product/kiahyundaienginehandbook/265
I need advice in los angeles..2016 Santa Fe Sport with 2.4L gdi, took a dump
Good video my man..I'm thinking of getting a new '22 or up Kia Carnival im wondering if the 6 cylinders are better than the 4 cylinder nightmares of the past😢..
None of their engines are good. The only difference is, if you get the v6 and it blows up. You can’t get a new one for free. I have a video on the carnival. Those 4cyl engine cars have a piston ring issue. I am working on my 2nd book which covers the new Kia/hyundai/ genesis cars
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.
My 2016 sorrento engine went out at 80,001 miles and because I followed all their steps with the knock sensor baloney they replaced it for free but I was wondering is it a new engine or a rebuilt one. I was told it is new and won't have the same problem again. I hope they are right because when it goes out your stuck and sometimes not in a good location.
Used, thats why they have a lifetime engine warranty because they will go out again and have to be replaced.
2019 Soul turbo, the Son's Kia GA said tuff you reached 100k. Talked to Kia Rep, said not our problem.
My daughter has a 2013 KIA Soul 1.6L and wondering about the recall settlement on it.
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.
Hey, I live between Cowboy Kia and Beck and Masten Kia!
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.
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
Your story sounds almost identical to mine. As I bought a 2017 kia optima certified pre owned one too. Had a new engine put in at around 40,000 miles. After it failed the second oil consumption test. As their protocol is so flawed. Cleaning the combustion chamber is just putting a bandaid on the situation. If an engine is burning oil. It could be from a valve leaking. So now fast forward to now. I started having issues with engine now at around 55,000 miles. After the same protocol. It passed as dealer claimed it only burned a half a quart of oil in 1000 miles. I think kia recommendation of 7500 miles between oil changes is way to high. My honest mechanic recommended to change oil at 5000 mile intervals. So after it passed the oil consumption test. Literally 2000 miles later and still have a little over 2000 miles left before an oil change is due. The oil light came on after I slammed on the brakes at a light and then light went out. So as I was able to get it to autozone to fill it up with oil. It had burned through 4 qts of oil. After calling the dealer twice to try to get ahold of the service advisor. Told them I took video of situation. That I want to bypass the oil consumption test as it pretty obvious there is an engine issue. I was informed the the service advisor would get back to me. So after two calls with the last month. Still no call back from the advisor yet. I also have an extended warranty on vehicle that the person purchased before I bought the car. Now I'm going to call kia corporate to see if I get somewhere. I also heard that the newer engines are replaced with new spark plugs. Where the first engine wasn't. So have to see how much truth is in that. I know the advisor told me that is what they do. I'm definitely never buying a kia again!
Also I live in illinois too! The lemon law doesn't pertain to used vehicles only new cars. From what I researched. If you find out differently let me know. Thanks
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 ?
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.
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 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!
I have a 2018 Kia Optima EX 2.4 having Check Engine light on shaking engine as I start the engine. Previously, I had engine burning oil to the point I can see low engine lubricant. I am ordering an ODB2 to confirm if it's code P1326. Should I call the dealer and what to tell them? TIA
Was this resolved? I'm literally having the same problem 😢
We have a 2016 Forte that the engine just blew in while my daughter was trying to get it to the dealership that we bought it at. Is this one under the recall? The service guy there said it wasn't one of the ones under the recall?
Call a different dealership
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.
I have a 2013 Hyundai genesis coup 2T Rspec, is my vehicle covered? It's a theta engine. It's known to have rod bearing issues due to the oil passage machine process. No problems yet but if i need to do a swap down the road it be nice to be set up to do it.
No
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 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.
Did he have the ksds?
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.
I called as you instructed. I have a 2017 Kia Sorento, burning through oil like crazy. They said there is no recall on my car for the engine. So what do I do now? -- I am also not aware whether or not I have the KSDS update.
Do you have a v6?
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.
My wife's Kia Sorento was just approved for a new engine. We are relieved, because we didn't want to just tow it to the junkyard. Still, that's the last Kia I will ever buy. Customer service at the dealership is complete dogshit as well. They've had the car for six weeks and we can't even get a person on the phone to give us an update.
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?
What is recall for the 2017 Soul + with the Nu 2.0 engine.
What specifically needs to occur with the vehicle to qualify? I have a '16 sonata with the 2.4l GDI theta engine under recall. Performed KSDS as required when that recall released. Vehicle has 126k on engine however it consumes oil at the rate of a quart every 500miles.. Do they consider this normal with the GDI motor Or do you need to wait until the knock sensor codes and take the vehicle in?
I sent an oil sample to blackstone labs (waiting results) to have a oil analysis performed. Looking to see if it has increased bearing wear material and fuel dilution etc
The recall is for the theta II engine. If you have one, then you qualify. You qualify not only because you have that engine but also cause you have the ksds. They don’t put that software on the car unless they’re preparing you for the recall.
I wrote a book which explains all of this. I recommend getting the book and watching all the videos.
I got a 2013 optima with 2 recalls(headliner plate and low pressure fuel tube) making a knocking sound in the engine i took it to my nearest Kia dealership and they said they “have to do a test which can only be done once and they would change the engine only if it stops working”
I don’t know what to do any suggestions?
That’s correct. If the engine doesn’t fail they can’t replace it. Any other issues that go wrong are up to the owner to fix
our 2012 Kia Optima 2.4 GDI, Doing 80 MPH on the freeway and all RPMS dropped to 0, car shut off while doing 80 MPH, The car struggled to start and was in limp mode, Got it home, We let it sit for awhile and it drives but not good at all, There is absolutely no lights on the dashboard at all, we took it to kia and we are hoping to get a new engine..
Thank you took my hyundai and they denied the motor gonna try this at a different hyundai
How about the Kia Optima 2015 2.4 manufactured in South Korea, is it good?
No
My 2018 hyundai died they sent me the papers. It was recalled the deadline was june 29 you must have proof of maintenence oil changes. If not your screwed they are going to give me the difference on the trade in trade it in
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.
Does the recall include the Kia Sorento?
I’ve had no idea this recalled was on my 2015 Kia. Years passed I bought a new used car , even with payments still on my 2015 Kia. The new used car I bought ended up stopping I just sold it finally after being car less hopefully trying to buy something else. My engine in my Kia has a recall am I able to get a new engine from the dealership due to the recall after it being a few years? It went out a month after the recall and I have video footage of the night it stopped working it just turned off mid drive to my exs. As the recall states it will do the the engines. Im just curious I need a car asap to get my job back I was laid off
