Engine failure. I\u2019ve been reporting engine stalling since around 34,000 miles or so I purchased the car and immediately had battery issues before 25,000 miles as well. While I was driving  on the road the engine stalled about 34,000 miles with me and my pregnant daughter in the car. The seatbelts jerked. The car stuutered and shut off and every light on the dashboard went insane.    I purchased the car with 34 miles on it.   Now\u2026fast forward I\u2019ve been having the car engine check, consumption oil tests performed and more since 60xxx miles or so. I\u2019ve done everything that I\u2019m supposed to do with returning the car for testing and every time I\u2019m told I just need to wait until the engine fails. They clean the engine up make it look pretty after the second test and run some cleaner through then I\u2019m back in a couple of weeks to months for the same thing. The engine valve cover has been replaced many times, spark plugs keep going out, and a ton more engine work that was done under warranty. Brain the service man told both me and my husband it\u2019s what we have TJ deal with, at Suntrup, and doesn\u2019t matter if I\u2019m driving or not wait until the engine blows before Kia can replace the full engine. He said if you\u2019re outta warranty that\u2019ll be your issue.  Well when I  talked to  Kia they said I better not drive it that way, with no oil in the car regardless how it\u2019s brining and keep taking it in. But Bryan every time seems to not want to deal with it. Test after test and he said i just need TJ fault before we replace it.   The service department has deemed this a bad engine ever trip. But I\u2019m told it MUST PASS KIA TEST. However, I\u2019m 7,000 miles outta warranty now and I\u2019m praying they cover it because I did everything I\u2019m supposed to do.   I have every record however, Lou Fuze has failed to reproduce my records  and I\u2019ve requested them by text many times.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
