Consumer Description

8/31/18 MY OIL LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING, ACCELERATION SLOWED DOWN, ALMOST CHUGGING ON INTERSTATE 65 NORTH. A 35 MINUTE DRIVE TOOK ME A HOUR AND A HALF BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO GET HOME BUT THE INTERSTATE. 9/1/18 I STARTED THE CAR, DROVE IT A COUPLE MILES, GOING TO THE DEALER, IT STARTED KNOCKING, ALMOST STALLING, OIL LIGHT FLICKERING AND THEN DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAD IT TOWED TO KIA OF RIVERGATE. 9/5/18 THEY ASK FOR ALL MY OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS, WHICH I DON'T HAVE BECAUSE I GET THEM WHERE EVER I HAVE A COUPON FOR.(I AM CURRENTLY TRYING TO BACK TRACK AND GET THE RECORDS) MAC, AT THE DEALERSHIP) TELLS ME THERE IS "SLUDGE" AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE MAINTENANCE WAS NOT DONE. THERE WAS NEVER ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR, WHEN OIL CHANGES WERE DONE EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT EVERY TIME, NO INDICATIONS ABOUT OIL, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOTHING AND THEN THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. HELP!!
