Description of the problem	Wife was driving home from work, 45min drive. 10min left in the drive, she started hearing a noise from the engine and loss of power. Luckily she was able to coast the way home, but after 2 mechanic opinions, it is a dead engine due to the ticking/clanking noise from the engine. First mechanic said piston issue (without diagnostics), second said metal shavings and the engine basically killed itself. I made sure this car had on-time oil changes and at 116k miles was just about to do a full sparkplug/100k mileage tune-up. When will kia understand that 2011-2013 models are not the only models effected by these engine issues?! We now are down a car, still owe on it, (i believe) at no fault to our own. Kia did send out an ecu update (feb15/19) that (per a kia dealership employee) warranties the engine for the life of the engine, but what about people who have already been effected with these issues?!
