Consumer Description
DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, MY 2016 KIA SORENTO HAD NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. I'VE USED SYNTHETIC OIL WITH EVERY CHANGE SINCE BUYING THE SORENTO NEW. WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT SHOWING UP, THE ERROR CODE SUGGESTS REPLACING THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. SYMPTOMS THAT BEGAN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING: REVVING OF RPMS IN PARK, SLOW ACCELERATION WHEN TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY (IT STALLS), AND CLIMBING INTO 6K RPMS WHEN GOING UP HIGHWAY INCLINES (HILLS) AT 55-60 MPH. AND THERE IS STILL THE QUESTION OF "WHERE DID THE OIL GO IN THE FIRST PLACE?" THERE IS NO EXTERNAL LEAK OF ENGINE OIL.
