Description of the problem	Engine is severely slugged and there was no warning ever. Found out after an oil changed at 67k at jiffy lube when i took it to the ourisman kia dealer in chantilly, va. There is no warning that any of this situation was starting to happen even after a previous oil change at kia dealer at 58k miles. The dealership denied my claim with the 100k mile warranty because i don't have proof that i did all 9 oil changes. They proceeded to tell me that i need a new engine but that they are on backorder nationwide and who knows what date tbd that will become available. The repair shop i took it to piedomont in haymarket, va says they think it is something like a year before it might be available. So in the mean time no loaner was ever offered to me and no i have a unusable vehicle that i have submitted a claim for with geico. I do not have funding for a new engine and the fact that the kia motor company has no engine to even supply to me is completely unacceptable practice for a business. Also 1 year ago my battery just died according to the kia dealer due to a parasitic drain. That seems suspicious to me since the vehicle was only a year old and had to be replaced with one i bought at walmart. Also, the fuse for the driver seat continuously blows.
