NHTSA Complaint #11194819 — 2012 KIA OPTIMA

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE BELTWAY 495 IN MARYLAND AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING ON THE DASH. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULDN'T START. I CHECK THE MOTOR, CHECKING THE OIL STICK SHOWING THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO OIL IN IT. I NEVER RECEIVED A WARNING LIGHT ABOUT LOW OIL OR ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I HAD MY COUSIN BRING ME SOME OIL. I PUT FOUR CANS OF OIL IN THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TAKEN OFF THE HIGHWAY TO MY COUSINS HOUSE NEAR BY. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY THINKING THAT WAS NOW THE PROBLEM. THE STARTED TO TURN OVER BUT WOULDN'T START. THE NEXT DAY I CONNECTED A CHECK ENGINE MACHINE TO THE CAR, A ACTRON AUTO SCANNER #CP 9575BUT NO CODES APPEARED. A FRIEND WHO IN THE PAST RACED CARS CHECK THE MOTOR FROM THE ATTEMPTING TO START AND STATED IT WAS THE BEARING IN THE ENGINE. IT WOULD START AND AGAIN I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS ABOUT THE OIL OR ENGINE BEFORE THE PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE. I CHECKED THE COMPUTER AN FOUNDED OUT THAT OTHER KIA'S HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS NOT COMING ON TO LET YOU KNOW ABOUT THE OIL WAS LOW. KIA HAD A PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES 2012-2017 NOT SHOWING A WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH.
