Kia just replaced my engine in this same type of vehicle and they charged me absolutely nothing. Just make sure you keep all your oil change records. It runs fine now and it still has a lifetime warranty. Go Kia.
Just pulled and replaced the plugs in my 2.4 last week. It's a 2018 Sonata with 125K. Eats about a quart every 500 miles. Out of warranty so I'm just trying to keep it alive. Like you found, he misfire has disappeared.
Any update? Did the customer get a new engine? I read the TSB on oil consumption and its not clear cut .Kia can deny the claim if the customer doesn't provide oil change receipts that are "verifiable". But I guess a lot depends on the particular dealership.
This Vehicle Is Currently At The Dealer Awaiting A New Engine, Service Records Where Given No External Leaks Found During Inspection And They Are Covering Costs Parts And Labor The Customer Says.
@@SMAutoRepairLLC Thanks for the update. I'm dealing with a family member's 2015 Forte, 2.0 that started burning a lot of oil at 60,000 miles. I tried Liqui Moly engine flush and changed thew oil to 5W 30 high mileage synthetic with a can of Restore. This helped somewhat. Recently had a flashing CEL for a cylinder three misfire. I pulled the plug, and it was pretty clean. Replaced that plug and switched the coil from three to number one cylinder. So far, no more misfire. I would like to leave it with the dealership for a warranty claim, but the owner can't do without the car.

That’s unfortunate my friend, just another to add to the list.
