Engine failure due to lack of oil pressure.
I had my oil change and two days later the oil light came on so i took it back to pit stop 500 and he's said it was low so he check the car said he didn't see any oil leaks if the oil light comes on again take it to kia. when i left there while i was driving i could see white smoke coming out my pipes. i took it to the kia dealership and they said the oil was low put oil in it again and said drive it 500 miles and if the oil light come on bring it back. while driving it home it stalled it wouldn't go over 30 miles and white smoke was coming out the pipes so i made a appointment and took it back now the dealership says it is sludge in the oil. i had did some research and discover ten kia with the same exact problem and six of them are kia optima
In june 2014my date below of crash on the day is approximately , i was driving my brand new 2013 kia optima, i was on my way to work and my engine stalled and lost complete power locking up every control in the car. it happened on a major highway in jacksonville, nc and left me stranded i was hit in my rear end by 2 cars causing a 3 car crash. at the time kia would take no responsibility. now in 2016 that there is a defect in the engine causing stalling and losing power of the engine and control of the car. in top of this recall i just found out they knowingly sold thiese cars while knowing it had this defect which could cause a crash or castrophic problems. which in my case it did cause a a 3 car crash.
Steering wheel does not seem to react well with turning of the vehicle. parking the vehicle is uneven and not aligned to the center of parking stalls. steering wheel is loose as if steering a boat on a waterway. *tr
First, the tires were worn/dry rot with only 3000 miles on the vehicle. second, vehicle stalls when there is any moisture on the roadway causing safety hazard because the car will not move. third, back up camera is not working. fourth, recall notice for underbody rust. fifth, recall notice for engine seizure while the car is driving at high speed
