I have a 100k mile powertrain warranty on my car. Currently at 91k miles.

Anything I should preemptively do before I get to 100k?

First thought is to go to a (not dealership) service center and get a third party opinion. I can’t tell anything wrong with the car, so that may just be time wasted. Just concerned I don’t catch a time bomb set to explode at 101k miles….

Go 100MPH into a brick wall and say that it should be covered under the warranty.

I don't know that there is much you can do if nothing is acting up at the moment.

I would check the oil regularly and if it is burning a lot then take it in for a visit to have that documented.

Hope you have better luck than some, Kia/Hyundai have not have good records with long term engine reliability as of late. But then again it seems like all manufacturers are having trouble there (even Toyota on some models).

KIA drivers that can’t even properly spell the name of the vehicle they’ve owned for years reinforce the stereotype.

Pretty pathetic for cars these days to have issues at 100k. This isn’t 1983.

If you plan on having the car for a while, you may want to consider buying an extended warranty. You can buy the warranty from basically any dealership or online just make sure you get one from a reputable company and buy the top tier (i.e. platinum as opposed to gold or silver or however they rank them). We had a mechanic friend recommend a few companies that he always gets approval from and went from there.

I know a lot of people will shite on the idea of an extended warranty but it paid for a bunch of crap on my wife’s SUV including the infotainment system touchscreen, the transmission, radiator, tire sensors, and a few other small things.

I bought one from La Dealers Association when I purchased my 2020 King Ranch.

The transmission started having the symptoms skipping gears and clunking. I took it to a Ford Dealer in Hendersonville NC and got the approval to replace the transmission at 65K miles. The warranty company sent an inspector out the next day and the dealer got the approval to replace the transmission in 15 minutes after the inspector left. The transmission was new and not a remanufactured one.

It also came with a 2K mile or 2 years warranty.

In b4 BabyTac comes along to tell you that if you can't do a full engine swap on it yourself, then you're a poor little bitch.

Every manufacturer is planning complete obsolescence within 10 years of purchase.

I’ve heard Kia has come a long way in recent years. But I’m not sure I’ve ever met an Optima that make it to 100k
