Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Optima

Was exiting the freeway, came to a stoplight, and as continuing with driving the check engine light starts blinking and was not able to accelerate, as if it was slipping. Car would not go over around 30 mph until feeling the car not able to accelerate again. I used a code reader and got code p1326, which I had looked up and says it has something to do with a knock sensor detection system. Had bring my car in to get it checked out and was told my car had low oil, about 2 quartz. I do regular oil changes though and had done an oil change a few weeks prior. The shop I went to told me there may be a service campaign for the car. Was told specific years have had engine problems with oil, losing oil although no leaks or signs.

The contact owns a 2016 kia Optima. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking engine oil. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to ourisman chantilly kia (4105 auto park cir, chantilly, va 20151, (703) 263-2500) but was not diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and told the contact that she had to pay out of pocket for any repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Excessive oil usage. Using two quarts of oil in a week. No leaks at all, anywhere.

Car stalled for no reason while sitting idle at an intersection. It was towed to the kia dealership in san diego. The first day, the dealership claimed it found nothing wrong and there were no error codes. The next day, it claimed to find a hole in the oil pan. It refused to start the car again until we paid $500 to fix it. There was no oil in its parking space or the place where that it stalled. We took it to another mechanic who found the hole. He said there was more than sufficient oil to turn it over, and if the hole has been there long, all of the oil would have leaked out. We suspect the dealer did this intentionally to create an excuse to avoid paying for a new engine if it turned out to have metal shavings and catastrophic failure like so many other Optimas.

The contact owns a 2016 kia Optima. While driving various speeds, the vehicle accelerated independently and the engine rpms drastically increased to 6 or 7. The contact also stated that the check engine warning indicator illuminated and there was a burning odor coming from the engine. In addition, the vehicle was leaking oil. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the cvt valve needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the vehicle was number 75 on the waiting list for the repairs and provided a loaner vehicle. Two days later, the contact was informed by the dealer that they performed an interim repair and that the vehicle could be driven. The dealer ordered the part for a permanent repair. The contact felt unsafe driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000.
