It appears my daughter's 2012 Kia Optima 4 cylinder engine is fried at 83K miles. My grandson was driving it around town when everything shut down abruptly. It seems like an oil related engine seizure, but she's still waiting for final word from the Kia dealer in PA. Fortunately she is the original owner and all oil changes were done on schedule at the local Kia dealer, who told her she is the sixth customer this has happened to. She's fortunate to have the 100K mile powertrain warranty.
Hopefully Kia won't try to stick her with a remanufactured engine. Otherwise she may have to join the class action lawsuit.
