NHTSA Complaint #10924510 — 2012 KIA OPTIMA

I BOUGHT MY 2012 KIA OPTIMA USED WITH 68K MILES ON IT IN MARCH 2016. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT 8 MONTHS AND IT NOW HAS 80K MILES. THE CAR CONSUMES A LOT OF OIL. I HAVE GIVEN THE CAR 4 OIL CHANGES SINCE PURCGASE AND HAVE NOT SEEN WHERE IT MAY BE LEAKING OIL UNDERNEATH THE CAR. WHEN ACCELERATING, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THEY CAR WILL STALL FROM A LACK OF POWER AND I WILL HEAR A TICKING SOUND WHEN IT STALLS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND WHERE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT WITH THIS, AND OTHER KIA MODELS', MOTOR. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM WORK. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR 8 MONTHS AND HAD TO FINANCE THE ENTIRE COST. IF MY CAR'S SYMPTOMS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, I SUSPECT MY MOTOR WILL BE DONE WITH IN THE NEAR FUTURE AND I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A NEW MOTOR!
