I just found out that Kia has a huge class action and extended warranty arrangement for select models. Because my 2016 is included in the affected group, it seems that Kia would reimburse for the new engine, but I’m being told my car isn’t on the list because I didn’t bring it in for a software update before it seized.
I’ve moved to different states in the past 4 years, and don’t know if any Kia notice ever got to me. Since I was unaware of the oil issue, the lawsuit, the recall workaround, and the update, I’m wondering if anyone knows what I could do to be reimbursed. Do I have any options?
A 2026 would still be under the 10yr/100k mile warranty.
Extended warranty was to 15 years/150k miles but only if you had the knock sensor installed within the timeframe from the settlement, and only if it failed in a specific way and triggered the sensor and code.
If you’re over 100k miles…you got your moneys worth I guess.
