We're sorry to hear about the issue with your 2016 Kia Optima. First, try to determine the cause of the seizure. If due to lack of oil or an overheating problem, further damage may have occurred beyond the engine seizure. In most cases, you'll need an extensive engine repair or replacement, which should be conducted by a professional mechanic. If your car is still under Kia's 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, engine failure due to defects or workmanship issues could be covered. It's crucial that you reach out to a Kia service center to explain the issue and arrange an inspection. They will advise on the best course of action based on the specific circumstances of your vehicle's condition.
