Hi, I have a 2013 EX T-GDI and the engine blew at 126,000 km about a year and a half ago. It was replaced under the recall at the time by Kia free of cost of course. The manager was rude and mentioned that he would not replace it again if it blows.. I read online that after the the engine replacement recall, Optimas are covered for 10 years. I also have some modifications on my vehicle and do oil changes at home. The car of course is no longer covered under factory warranty and has no warranty coverage whatsoever. So my main question is are third gens reliable after the engine recall? Did anyone suffer any issues after their engine was replaced. I love my car and have some work put into it and want to keep it for a long time if it will stay reliable? Sorry for the long post, newbie here. Thanks!
TL;DR: are third gen Optimas reliable after the engine recall?
