Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Optima

Car check engine light turn on and started to shake really bad while driving like its going to turn off, and shakes even more when I make a stop and looses power to continue driving. Also it burns out oil really fast I have to keep putting oil almost every two weeks.

For the past 3 years, ive been having problems relating to my engine burning oil to fast, engine shaking and not accelerating like its sppose to. . . You have a recall on 2016 Optimas but only the hybrid (hev). Which we all know its not right. Why only do it for certain Optimas knowing we are all (all Optimas) are going through the same thing!! spent thousands of dollars, in and out of dealerships and auto shops and now im mentally drained , upset, confused and overall feel manipulated by kia. . . Nice cars but does not keep its value. . Can someone fix this problem.

My 2016 kia Optima is using a quart of oil every 1000 miles. The dealership service department did a oil consumption test and confirmed the car was using that much oil and it was normal oil use according to kia. I told them I didn't agree that it was normal and the service department man agreed it was a lot of oil to use but said he had to go by kia's guidelines and I could file a complaint on the kia website. I filed a complaint with kia and was contacted 3 weeks later and told the same thing that 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles was within kia specifications. The car is still under the 100,000 miles extension warranty and the dealership has done all oil changes.

Burning oil.

Vehicle started burning oil, completed oil consumption test. Dealership stated that I have to get a new engine due to combustion rings problem.

Burning oil and engine failure.

Mid September, 2020, I began to notice that my headlights would turn off as I was driving. They would cut off for no more than 15 seconds and turn back on. I didn't think anything of it, until I started having issues with other components of my 2016 kia Optima. On 11/30/2020 I was driving at 30mph through a residential area. As I was approaching a stop sign, my engine light came on. When I tried to accelerate, the car began to jump and hesitate. No matter how far down I pushed the gas, the care was jumping/shaking and wold not accelerate over 20mph. I pulled into an autozone where they ran a diagnostic test on the vehicle. Error code p1326 (knock sensor) came up. The next morning, I called coastal kia of wilmington in north carolina and explained to them what had happened. They sent an employee to pick up my vehicle (12/01/2020). They inspected my vehicle and informed me that the protocol was to perform a bearing clearance test and ecu upgrade. I picked up my car on 12/02/2020. A week later, I called the dealership again and informed them that although my engine light had not come back on, the acceleration issue was still occurring. I asked if they would look at the car again, to which they said no, that they cannot take a further look at it until the engine light came back on. On 12/20/2020 I was driving 40mph when my car began to stutter uncontrollably. The following morning I called kia again to inform them what had happened, and they agreed to take a look at it. On 12/22/2020 they called me and said that my car was burning oil and smoking excessively. They opened a tech case with kia and informed me that they could not do anything to the car until they heard back from them. On 12/23/2020 they called me again to tell me that the issue was not covered under a recall, and that my next step would be to replace my engine.

My oil pressure light continues to turn on and off even after replaced parts! burning at least 2 quarts of oil per week! brake lights stop working if headlights are on! had to start using super to eliminate a rattle while accelerating uphill! engine shakes!!.

Oil is burning too hot causing the oil to burn out faster than it should. Over time this issue will lead to engine failure.

On March 21, 2019, I brought my car in to the kia dealership because my own personal mechanic said that the engine was burning too much oil. Kia dealership did an oil test and said that they need to fix my engine due to a recall. It has been over 2 months and I still have not receive my car yet. Made multiple calls to the kia dealership and kia corporate and nothing was resolved.

My oil is burning faster that expected. I gotand oil change and a week later it was to the bottom.
