In February 2026, the dealer performed an engine/powertrain computer reprogramming. In August 2026, the engine failed and the vehicle was taken to an authorized Kia dealer, where the engine was replaced under the Theta II engine warranty. The vehicle was at the dealer from August 8 until the repair was completed on September 29, 2026.  When I picked up the vehicle on October 9, it felt shaky and vibrated on the drive home. On October 11, the vehicle began giving off a distinct, unfamiliar smell that is not like burning fuel or oil. On October 21, I found the vehicle leaking an opaque, milky tan fluid onto my garage floor. The type and source of the fluid are UNKNOWN. I have photos of the leak.  My family and I have stopped driving the vehicle because we believe it is unsafe. We were driving it with our children before these symptoms appeared. Given the history of Theta II engine failures, we are concerned about the risk of engine failure, stalling, or fire while driving.  The new symptoms have not yet been diagnosed or confirmed by a dealer. I am arranging for the vehicle to be towed to a Kia dealer for warranty diagnosis. The vehicle and leak are available for inspection. I have reported these issues to the manufacturer under an open customer case.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
