The vehicle is exhibiting severe symptoms consistent with KSDS\u2011related engine failure, yet the required diagnostic protocol has not been completed by the servicing dealership.  The KSDS software update was performed in May 2022, and the vehicle currently has only 92,000 miles on the odometer, placing it well within the settlement\u2019s mileage parameters. Despite this, the dealership has failed to follow KSDS procedures and has not produced any written documentation of its findings.  All communication with the dealership has occurred exclusively by telephone. Despite repeated attempts to obtain information, I have not received a diagnostic sheet, video recording, code report, KSDS documentation, or any written summary of the vehicle\u2019s condition. All statements provided to me have been verbal and inconsistent.  My **primary symptoms** include: - Persistent and worsening **engine ticking** - **Burning excessive amounts of oil** - Activation of **limp mode** - A **flashing check engine light**  These symptoms align with known indicators of KSDS\u2011related engine failure and warrant immediate and proper diagnostic evaluation under the settlement terms.  The dealership has verbally stated that the issue may be related to **spark plugs and ignition coils**. However, plugs and coils are a **well\u2011documented secondary symptom** of rod bearing failure, caused by oil contamination and misfires resulting from internal engine damage. This further supports the likelihood of KSDS\u2011related engine failure.  Kia corporate has not referenced documentation of any kind. They have not requested it, indicated they are awaiting it, or provided guidance regarding its submission. Instead, corporate has repeatedly stated that they \u201cmust defer to the dealership,\u201d despite the dealership\u2019s failure to perform or submit the required KSDS diagnostic materials.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"FORTE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
