Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Optima

Vehicle is burning oil very fast and reving up uncontrollably. Was informed last summer of a recall on engine. Toon vehicle to kia and they confirmed the vehicle engine was burning oil way too fast. Vehicle was burning oil almost completely empty in only 1,000 miles. When I finally took the vehicle back to have kia uphold the recall I was told that they updated the recall 2 days before my appointment and they would no longer fix my engine despite discovering that there was an extreme oil consumption malfunction. Have talked to many people and was told by kia to contact the better business bureau if I was not happy with their decision. Have been in contact with multiple people since last summer and keep being told that they would get back to us soon. Received a call today saying that I could pay to get a new engine and then when they finally make the recall they would pay me back if they could prove that I needed a new engine because of kia.

Burns oil and engine revs.

Three times- today 10/18/2020 my car is not leaking oil but burning oil. Dangerously low I have to keep checking. No oil on the ground. I smell or a light to service oil comes on. First time 6/10/2020 - 2nd time 10/1/2020 today 10/18/2020 there is still oil but very low, 2qts were put in on 10/1/2020 . The engine is burning oil. I have new spark plugs maybe less than a year.

Even though kia suggests oil change intervals of 7500 I've been getting mine changed every 3000 miles. I still had 100 miles to go and I noticed my car was running a little rough and their was a change in its performance. I checked my engine oil as a precaution and the dip stick barely showed any oil on the tip. This problem started after I took my kia in for a recall, they updated some sort of software and a some hose that was recalled for deterioration. There are no leaks, never had any and now my car is burning 4 quarts of oil between oil change intervals of jus 3000. I've seen many complaints on forums by owners who are having the same issue. .

Heard about recall on news for 2013 kia Optima on Saturday, 2. 29. 2020. For engine fires. Dealerships were already closed. Called rick case kia first thing this morning, 3. 1. 2020. Larry in the service department was very rude and said he wasn't sure what I was talking about, they do not know of any recalls. Very dismissive. I'm not quite sure how kia keeps getting away with these types of things. You want me to keep my family in a death trap? gtfoh. This is the 4th or 5th major recall on my car. One of the other major recalls was for metal shavings in the oil. After bulldog kia, they were great, replaced the entire engine, my car started eating oil like crazy. I switched to high mileage, full synthetic, 5w30 instead of 5w20, oil thinking it would help since it has so many miles on it. It didn't. You're supposed to get 5k miles with full synthetic before another oil change, my car is completely out of oil within 2k miles. So I'm adding oil myself between oil changes. When contacting rick case kia, I was told "just let it blow up because we do not cover oil consumption". To me, this is absolutely absurd. I've spent money on this car. This is my family's car, this is how I get to and from work to be able to pay for this damn car. . . . And I get told to let it blow up.

Oil consumption issues: I got an oil change on 11/27/19 I explained that I had to put oil in it several times in between oil changes. The person at kia told me to come back in 1000 for them to check it (not to add oil) I checked it the morning 12/8/19 at 900 miles - it was under the low mark and I was 2 hour away from home. I took it back to kia on Monday evening 12/9/19 almost 1200 miles from the last oil change. ). Person at kia staid I was down 2 liters (very little oil on the end of the dip stick . The oil light did not come on, but it did flicker a few light on my 2 hour drive home ) � kia advised I'm over my 100,000 miles and that's not part of the engine recall. I went home, checked the internet and there tens of thousands of blog about oil consumption. 1 day ago there was a new story, where kia denied a person claim after the engine seized. An inspection found a hole in the engine block. The mechanic wrote in a report that it was most likely caused by a lack of lubrication; therefore kia did not pay. Kia is aware of the oil consumption issues. My local dealership received hundred's of complaints but I was told there is no recall for that issue. If you get it checked it'll read for a different issue other that the current engine recall; it will miss up your chances of getting a new engine when it seizes up. ) I don't feel like I'm safe in this vehicle and kia's still playing russian roulette with our lives.

Engine burning oil. Knocking when accelerating.

Takata recall engine oil is burning away and the replacement of oil is becoming more frequent. Used two quarts in last 7 days.

My 2013 kia Optima sx burns excessive oil and produces excessive exhaust smoke. The dealership originally told me I had a faulty exhaust control valve. After I replaced that valve, however, the problem(s) persisted. At my last service visit, the dealership simply topped-off the oil to get the engine malfunction and check oil warning lights to go off. Upon leaving the dealership, I soon discovered that the excessive exhaust smoke remained. The only time the excessive exhaust smoke dissipates is when most or all of the oil has burned off. (the service advisor at a second dealership simply told me they couldn't diagnose or fix the problem. ).

I own a 2013 kia Optima. The first time I noticed the issue, I was driving on the interstate miles from home on a family trip. I noticed the oil light flickering when I depressed the accelerator, and also smelled something burning from engine compartment. I pulled off at the nearest service station and checked the oil and found no oil on the dipstick other than some burnt oil residue. The strong burning smell and smoke was coming from the opening. I immediately added oil and have been keeping a close eye on it ever since. I contacted the dealer and have learned of the many problems that kia owners are having with these particular engines. The dealership conducted a oil consumption test and determined the car is losing a little over a quart of oil every 1000 miles or so, but isn't leaking anywhere. I have read many of the stories of engine failures and fires caused by this and I do not want to experience this while on the road with my family. This car only had about 107,000 miles on it when I first noticed this oil consumption problem. This vehicle has been well maintained and should not be going through oil like this with so little miles on it. The dealership is telling me that there is no warranty that covers this and no recalls have been issued despite all of the trouble kia owners are having. I don't trust the car on the road with my family and I don't know where else to turn. Please help with this. Thank you!.

Car burning through oil every 20 days to the point the oil is completely empty. Started a oil consumption test on October 1, 2018. Oil light came on by October 20, wpq8. I contacted dealership about oil light however they stated I must wait 30 days and do not top off car with oil. I decreased driving the next 10 days to prevent damage. I went back after over 1,000 miles and 30 days on October 30, 2018 to kia dealership in chamblee, GA. Was only given a oil change and additive. Car dealerships stated that this is how my car is and I will need to frequently do oil changes.
