Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD A 2015 KIA FORTE WITH THE GDI ENGINE IN IT. I HAVE BEEN PAYING ON IT FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW. I WENT TO THE STORE LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE STORE I HEARD A LOUD CLANKING NOISE. COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS NO OIL EVEN THOUGH I HAVE IT SERVICED REGULARLY. WAS RUNNING FINE, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS. WENT UP THE ROAD YESTURDAY IT WAS MAKING LOUD CLACKING NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER. CALLED MY DAUGHTER AND SHE CAME TO THE LOCATION AND SAID I HAD NO OIL! EVEN THOUGH I JUST HAD IT CHANGED. WE PUT 4 QTS IN AND HAD IT TOWED HOME. PLZ HELP!!! WE HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND IT IS STILL UNDER FINANCING!! I'M A DISABLED WIDOW WITH NO VEHICLE NOW!
