The vehicle exhibits classic symptoms of the Gamma 1.6L GDI defect: excessive oil consumption (bone-dry after ~1,200 miles post-January 2026 shop oil change), flashing CEL, and loud rod knock after oil starvation.  Kia corporate denied all extended warranty/campaign relief on 03/18/2025, stating the powertrain warranty expired in 2019 and \"no campaigns\" apply. This is inconsistent and deceptive:  -U.S. Litigation: Early complaints and law-firm summaries in In re: Hyundai and Kia Engine Litigation II (C.D. Cal., 8:18-cv-02223) and related MDL explicitly referenced 2012\u20132019 Kia Rios with 1.6L Gamma GDI for the exact defect (oil burn \u2192 bearing failure \u2192 seizure/fire risk). However, Kia negotiated to exclude Rios from the final E2 Class Vehicles list (see kiaengineclasssettlement.com FAQ #6), limiting relief to Souls and select others despite the identical engine family.  -Canadian Precedent: The McKenzie Lake/Strosberg class action explicitly includes 2012\u20132017 Kia Rios with Gamma 1.6 GDI for the same issues, providing inspections/repairs\u2014proving the defect transcends model badging.  -Safety & Consumer Impact: This selective denial violates Magnuson-Moss (unreasonable warranty conditions) and constitutes deceptive trade practices, as Kia advertised these engines as reliable while knowing the failure mode.  I request: immediate investigation, compelled goodwill repair (or full engine replacement), and documentation of how Kia limited Rio coverage in settlement negotiations. Attached are all supporting records.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"RIO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
