Consumer Description
I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES ON MY CAR. HAD ONE DONE 30 DAYS AGO. FOUND OUT THIS MORNING THE CAR WAS WITHOUT OIL BUT SHOWED NO SIGNS OF A LEAK, FUMES, BURNING OF OIL. NOTHING!!! WAS DOING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT SIMPLY DIED. THE GAS PEDDLE TIGHTENED UP AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS. UPON STARTING IT I NOTICED A BASEBALL CARD IN THE WHEEL OF A BIKE NOISE. I THOUGHT MY BELT WAS GOING BAD. NOT THE CASE. AFTER STALLING OUT ON THE HIGHWAY I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A SHOP. THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THERE IS A DESTROYED BEARING IN THE ENGINE DUE TO IT LOOSING ALL OF ITS OIL. THEY TOLD ME THAT A FIRE COULD HAVE HAPPENED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND THE CAR IS NOT DRIVE-ABLE. I JUST BOUGHT IT 7 MONTHS AGO. THE WARRANTY IS UP. AND I'M GOING TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. 2014 KIA SOUL WITH A 2.0 ENGINE.
