The check engine light was intermittingly blinking, and there was a strong burning smell.  The vehicle was taken to AutoZone and the code displayed P0304 indicating a cylinder 4 misfire.  The spark plugs were replaced.   However, the knocking sounds, blinking check engine light, and smell of burning happened again, and I took it PepBoys on December 26, 2025.  After testing, they indicated that the fuel injector was cracked and fuel was found in the engine oil.  I had AAA tow the vehicle to Cochran Kia  [XXX] ). The dealership indicated that they would not be able to look at the vehicle until December 29, 2025. The dealership verified that the check engine light was still on and the motor was misfiring badly. They then checked cylinder #4 with a borescope and found that the valve had a crack in it and that the engine would need to be replaced.  There was also damage/scoring to the piston and cylinder wall. The dealership corresponded with Kia (Case #25769914),  Kia however indicated that there was no powertrain warranty and that this would not be covered under PI1803 and indicated that only applies to bearing failure, and that dealership should provide me with cost estimate to replace the engine.   My vehicle has been properly maintained, and I provided the dealership with the additional requested maintenance records on February 14, 2026. I reached out to Kia Customer Care and they indicated to get the engine replaced under the warranty from the settlement, I had to work with the dealership.  I contacted the dealership again on 3/12/26 and they said they can't do a warranty replacement because the warranty only covered if it was the rod bearing.
