Engine codes 1326 and P0304 were frequent.  Despite numerous services, including sensor replacements, spark plugs and oil top-offs, the problem worsened.  At 97,769 miles, the dealer said a full engine replacement is needed along with other pertinent repairs related to the engine are needed.  The situation was life-threatening each time as they occurred while driving and I now no working vehicle after my husband's recent death.  Kia dealerships acknowledged the defect but refused to replace the engine and advised that Kia Corporate was refusing, although no claim information was ever provided that they indeed contacted the corporate office.  I am seeking NHTSA support in holding Kia accountable.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
