There is a problem with the engine in my kia. I believe that this is a similar problem to other recalled kia vehicles from the same production year, 2016, that caused metal to be present in the engine. My local kia dealership informed me that i need a new engine due to this issue, after other issues had been ruled out as the cause of continued check engine light warnings were fixed.
