[@SonneyJones]

I had a 2015 Optima. I put about 60k on it over 6 years without issue, and handed it off to my son for his first car. It was in excellent shape. He had to drive to school 3 days a week....about 150 miles round-trip and called one day saying the car was limited to 60 mph, but made it to school. I went over and took the car to Kia Dealership, where the mentioned it was probably the knock sensor.....and it was. The replaced the engine at 97500 miles at no charge. My son then totaled the car six months later. I now have a K5 GT line with 20k on it......1.6 liter turbo and have been super happy with the car. Bought my other son an Elantra with 2.0.....so far so good.....we'll see in time.

[@Elevatedessentialz]

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

[@FaithJoneschannel]

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

I had enough of the waiting, and the mechanic told me all it was to put a sticker on the windows. I was upset!!

You might need my book cause you definitely need the ksds

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?

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.

[@danmatejka7380]

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.

[@rellmonger7935]

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

[@danmatejka7380]

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!

[@danmatejka7380]

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

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.

​@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

[@alesiarobinson7572]

@@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

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..

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.

Just got my engine replaced. Love your videos

[@T3Garage]

Have a 2015 sonata with the 2.4l engine. I want to start by saying I will never own another Hyundai and here are many reasons why. At just 116k miles the engine randomly started misfiring and the check engine light came on while driving down the highway. After limping it home I got the car scanned and it showed a misfire in the 3rd cylinder. After attempting small fixes like spark plugs and plug wires I decided to take it to Long Hyundai, this was my second mistake aside from buying a junk Hyundai in the first place. I stopped taking our car there for oil changes initially because I found an oil filter I had changed the last time still on the car after I paid them for an oil and filter change. With the car at Long, Chris from service stated it had no compression in the 3rd cylinder and it needed head work ($5300), but was pushed to do an engine replacement which was quoted to me at $7-8k, that I would be responsible for. After trying and getting no real diagnosis on the actual problem and a very difficult time trying to communicate with the service department, I picked the car up and coughed up the $200 “diagnostic” fee for nothing. Once I picked up the car I finally got the service report and the diagnosis was “blown head gasket.” I did not have a single symptom of a blown head gasket- no coolant in the oil, no overheating, no smoke out of the exhaust, coolant was clean in the over flow tank with no bubbling. I immediately drove to S&S Auto for a second opinion and they quickly found metal material in my oil and no symptoms of a head gasket issue. Long either completely missed this or did not want to tell me. I personally saw the shavings in the oil when I picked it up from S&S. They advised me about the warranty campaign Hyundai has on the 2.4liter engines and they didn’t charge me anything for the diagnostics. After doing my own research I decided to take it back to a dealership to have them handle the situation. I called the service director-John- at Long Hyundai to explain the situation and told him I was taking the car to a different Hyundai service center to reassess. He did not care that I was taking it to another dealership after Long has misdiagnosed the issue. John just told me, “Well let me know what they find.” (Tried getting a hold of him multiple times since and have never gotten a call back) After moving the car to a third shop, this time Mnt View Hyundai, which is about an hour from my house, I talked to Brian about what was going on and he stated they have been cleaning up a lot of issues from Long. After he had the car for a couple of days he stated he had found the metal shavings in the oil and that the car was misfiring and it should be taken care of under Hyundai’s warranty campaign 953 for excessive bearing wear on the crank. He went back and forth with Hyundai Motors America and I had to give them all my receipts for the oil changes I had done and they stated that my issue was not covered under warranty since my engine wasn’t knocking or locked up yet (basically because it hadn’t left me stranded on the side of the road), but that they would cover 85% of the replaced engine. After fighting for another week and hours on the phone with Hyundai’s warranty departments and Hyundai customer care with no resolve, I had agreed to cover the 15% that Hyundai wouldn’t cover. I was still mad they wouldn’t cover 100% from their own warranty, but it was better knowing Long was going to charge me $7-8k. Brian helped me get a rental car covered from Hyundai since some of the items were on back order. I was very grateful for that since I hadn’t had the car for two weeks at this point. A couple weeks later Brian called me and stated the car should be ready in a day or two and suggested random replacements, like air filters and brakes (all I take care of myself and have receipts on the last time I changed them) I picked up the car and paid my 15% of the cost which ended up being $828. I told him I wanted a test drive, no offense to him or the dealership, but I can’t trust anyone. Upon entering the vehicle I noticed the abs light and traction light on and the blind spot detection wasn’t working. I took it for a drive and went back and talked to Brian about that, stating there was no issue with this when I brought it. He had a tech sheet stating they ran the code when they got the car and it was on. I asked why it was never brought up to me while the car was in his shop for almost 3 weeks. He stated the tech ran some tests and stated it was operating properly and didn’t want to sell me a part I didn’t need. I stated having the abs and traction light on could be dangerous and could malfunction and he stated “it won’t lock up” and “it’s fine”. However, he did offer to fix the issue for free labor and I pay for the part, which was $360. I told him I wasn’t giving Hyundai any more money and drove my car home with all three of those lights on my dash. I am glad the car has a new engine and Brian did help me out with a lot of things, but there are still issues that should have been taken care of that just weren’t. The last month with the car and dealing with all of Hyundai has been beyond frustrating and I now have a car I don’t trust or feel safe in. They have definitely lost me and my family as customers and I hope anyone reading this will think twice before buying anything made by Hyundai.

@ 105k here. Noticed oil disappearing in the 90k range. Eventually crossed over 100k warranty before I found out the KIA issues. I always DIY oil changes. Dont they have the right to deny if no oil change records. I have the KSDS and I spoke to one of their reps and they said its out of warranty but I have the lifetime time warranty for rod bearings. In the meanwhile the engine make a weired noise on startup and still burns oil. What would you recommend?

I have a 2011 Kia Sorento 2.4 l the rattling that you're hearing when you first start the vehicle up is your timing chain the timing chain tensioner works out.

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.

Is this a scam by the dealership? or is this the price you pay, could be worse, i could have to pay for an engine, I am not ungrateful, just that you would assume if the engine is replaced its all the parts that they need to connect it would be covered as well.

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

Okay, as a former parts manager at Kia and Hyundai, these engines had a recall and were warranty 100% within the warranty terms 10-year or 100,000 mi or 60k if used. The people complaining about issues at 100,000 after the warranty expired and then blaming Kia for it. It's not Kia's fault. Timing is everything on these cars. If timing isn't done on certain models at 60k, you're guaranteed to blow up the engine to simple as that. It's not Kia's fault. Kia owned up to it and started replacing a bunch of engines for free even with customers. I already had 100k. Kia knew they had a design flaw and was replacing the motors, particularly the 2.4s.

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.

[@StraitD2]

A followup on the car. Dealership called me and stated the engine was seized. They didn't mention no oil in the engine. I asked for the documentation of their diagnosis, and they stated on the documentation the engine oil level was normal, engine oil color was normal, there was no oil leak, no engine oil consumption. Two shops confirmed there was no oil in the engine before during or after the engine died on the road. I have video and photo evidence of this. So the dealership lied about the engine oil so it does not fall under excessive oil consumption. Saying they won't replace it under recall, even though I had the engine oil gaskets and seals replaced and new oil added on Jan 20th, 2023. From them until now, with no oil leaks and no engine oil consumption, lost 5 whole quarts of oil. I'm seeking legal advice now with all the evidence. Further updates coming...

😂my Kia has been in shop for 3 months! Engine blew! Supposed to be in Colorado working 5 weeks ago!

[@315prettytlg]

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!

[@theworshipsinger]

How were you able to get the engine for free?

[@315prettytlg]

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!!

[@llewellyn56]

Wow. 8 years now my car still going strong. I do check every time on recalls. Nothing. Do oil change every 3500 miles. Does not use oil. Korean made.

Hey I’m looking at a 2010 Accent I think it has 1.6 engine low mileage 53,000 One owner Should I be concerned ? Thank you Excellent tutorial

[@Iknowwhatiknow-r9e]

Don't do it..Hyundai has always had bad engines.

[@Yorkie285]

With the KSDS installed, I heard there is now a lifetime warranty on the Kia/Hyundai engines?

[@StraightOuttaContent]

Not "now" as in its new. Its always been that way.

[@CaptainNero]

So when the engine starts shaking, when you come to a stop at idle in gear, that's a sign that the engine is on its way out.? Have a 17 santa fe 126,000 miles. Original engine with all the software updates.

[@StraightOuttaContent]

@@CaptainNero No. the name Kia/Hyundai/Genesis is the sign the engine is going to go out 🤣😂😂 you definitely need to Consider grabbing my book www.flashcustomtransfers.com/product/kiahyundaienginehandbook/265 or just watch all my videos here and on @carlsgarage you’re kinda late to the party

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

[@jonallen1985]

My mom has a 2013 Kia Optima 2.0 turbo and her engine quit on her at 86000 miles while she was on the freeway, now with the new engine I told her if it has anymore issues trade it in for a Toyota Camry.

[@StraightOuttaContent]

They dont replace them with "new" engines. They just rebuild the ones from crashes and junk cars. They have the exact same issue. Trade that thing in ASAP! doing a video now on the car.

[@trevorschmidling573]

So if you got the update already you're good if the engine fails after that ?

[@StraightOuttaContent]

Yes

[@adictiveadictive]

​@@StraightOuttaContent Even without a code popping up or engine light?

[@B-KizzleMyNizzle]

how good is the new engine for an Optima?

[@StraightOuttaContent]

Those engines have a piston ring recall. Gotta check out my new Handbook: www.flashcustomtransfers.com/product/kiahyundaienginehandbook/265

[@xfuture3762]

I have a 2013 Kia Optima 2.0 turbo and it just died while driving today, it had a burning smell coming from the front of the engine and I hope my engine can get replaced

[@xfuture3762]

It ended up being the engine and they are replacing it😊
