Consumer Description

MY 2015 KIA SOUL IS NOW SITTING AT A SHOP, DUE TO THE FACT THAT WITHOUT ANY WARNING AS I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT DECIDED TO SLOW DOWN AND SHAKE THEN STALL MANAGED TO GET IT STARTED AND GET OFF THE HIGHWAY TO A STORE, CHECKED THE OIL THERE WASN'T ANY IN THE ENGINE EVEN THOUGH 2 DAYS BEFORE I HAD JUST HAD IT CHANGED. THAT WAS ON AUGUST 7 2019 AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT KIA HAS LET ALOT OF PEOPLE DOWN BY SELLING DEFECTIVE CARS AND FOR ME I AM STILL STUCK WITH PAYMENTS WITH NO WAY TO EVEN SAVE FOR A REPLACEMENT ENGINE AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT NEEDS. I HOPE THAT THEY COME TO THEIR SENSE AND DO THE RIGHT THING.
