Description of the problem | At about 30,000 miles the engine developed a knock that could be heard at low rpm while driving or standing still. I took it to the kia dealer and i'm waiting to hear back from them, they have had the car for two days and don't know how they are going to fix it. The service advisor did say it was covered by the recall, but i can't find anything about a recall for the optima 2. 4l gdi engine |
