Tl- the contact owns a 2014 kia Optima.

It was also stated that the vehicle was out warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was simply out of oil. The contact stated that there was no oil leak. The contact also stated that he received an unknown alert about engine failure in 2016. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 94,300. Fe.

My kia Optima killed while driving on the road causing me to scrape the side of my car and it started smoking finding leaking oil as well over a year ago and my car has been sitting at the kia dealership storage because they told me there wasn't a recall on my vehicle and that I would have to come out of pocket for an engine . I have come out of pocket for transportation for months and have had to pay a storage fee not knowing they were charging me until hearing from kia consumers . Now all of a sudden a recall is popping up when I look up my VIN and even my insurance company alerted me that there are in fact 3 recalls on my car. I am out of a job because of not having transportation after coming out of pocket over 3,000 for a rental I couldn't spend another dime of my savings for my family's holidays and emergency stash. I'm never looking forward to doing business with kia again. I've been so stressed mentally and physically and I'm still paying a car note for a car I can't drive.

While driving the kia on the highway after getting repaired for cracking the transmission due to running over a median the car engine seized while in full motion on the highway. Going 65mph engine stopped and car came to a stop after driving 5 miles from the shop. I called the roadside assistance to come tow the car. They took it to the nearest kia dealership which I had called and explained I was about to take the car into be checked out for the recall notice I had received. The shop had told me it could have been the timing chain but when I was on the phone with the man in the kia dealership he stated that a piece of came off in the oil pan and went into the engine. When I asked him if this had something to do with the recall he stated no. I don't know I think it had to have had something to do with the recall how else would there be anything in the oil pan or come loose in the engine like that. My car has been totaled out I no longer have a vehicle to drive. There's no way that running over a curb could make the engine completely seized up. Plus I had driven the car a week before, it had drove just fine, a little rough however was still leaking transmission fluid for the new transmission so I sent it back to the shop. Now the second time I get it from the shop that's when it breaks down on the side of the road do to a seizing engine. Sure makes me question it.
