This is dangerous to have in the road. Kia is aware of this. Why sale the vehicle knowing this and not disclosing this info to the consumer upon purchase. There is no truth in lending. It\u2019s plain sight robbery. What if I\u2019m far from home and stranded because vehicle set fire or broke down in hazardous condition weather. I constantly needing oil changes because of this engine. The dealership is aware. They tell me to trade it in or get rid of it because it\u2019s going to go for a fact. I\u2019ve never missed oil changes. I put oil every time the oil indicator light comes on. Now for the 3rd time the check engine light is on. 2 times for misfire code. The vehicle engine holds sludge no matter how much you get oil changes. The mechanic told me this year make and model is known for this very fact. I want my money back. Kelly blue book don\u2019t give enough. I was scammed into this car but I managed to pay it off. A car the sales person scammed me and wouldn\u2019t take the vehicle back. I complained to the general manager. They always act like he wasn\u2019t available. They kept claiming new ones started. After almost a year of those games I had to move and the case never got solved. But even when I complained their maintenance person stole my rims. They told me prove it. Just all bad experience. I just want my money. Even if they gave me another engine. It\u2019s still going to be the same problem. A bad engine. 2016 Kia optima\u2019s should not have been continuously sold with them knowing it has bad engines. Even the headlights don\u2019t work. Very dim. Car smells like burning fumes when driving. Please please help. This isn\u2019t fair lending practice. People trust them and they are dishonest sellers.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2016","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
