Kia's knock sensor recall centers on the Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) software update for Theta II GDI engines. The update listens for rod bearing wear, triggers a check engine light and limp mode via Code P1326, and extends the engine warranty up to a lifetime or 15 years/150,000 miles.  My problem is that we had to car in on May of 2026 after in went into limp mode.  They updated the software.  The car again went into limp mode on 10/21/2026, they updated the software again.  My focus here is the fact that it is a known issue and they say it still does not meet the parameters for an engine replacement.  It is a severe issue that is dangerous and inconvenient to the driver.  You are afraid to take it on a trip or even take it on a highway.  My 20 year old daughter drives this to college.  Can you imagine a car going into limp mode on a majory US highway?  Limp mode essentially does not allow a vehicle to go above 2K RPM.  You cant go up a hill over 35 and on a highway, on a flat road you \"might\" be able to go 55 MPH. My daughter goes to college 4 hours away.  This creates a very unsafe, dangerous and inconvenient environment.  KIA is hoping that they can buy time until these vehicles fail for some other reason and they dont have to pay the cost for a new engine.... ALL at the consumers peril.  To put this in perspective, if you have a vehicle with a \"low tire pressure\" warning, does lowering the sensors parameters fix the problem.... No, it just turns off the warning and you are driving a car with low tire pressure.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2015","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"OPTIMA","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
