Consumer Description

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2013 KIA SORENTO TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AFTER THE LATEST ENGINE RECALL. THEY UPGRADED SOFTWARE BUT GAVE NO FURTHER EXPLANATION. EVERYTIME I GET MY OIL CHANGE ITS ALMOST EMPTY. THE PAST 2 OIL CHANGES THERE HAS BEEN ALMOST NO OIL. YESTERDAY, I WAS DRIVING, ON THE HIGHWAY AND CHECK ENGINE, OIL, BATTERY, LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING AND THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND CALL A TOW TRUCK. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND 15 MIN LATER WHILE WAITING FOR TOW TRUCK I TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND IT CAME ONE. I CANCELED THE TOW AND I AM AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY . MY CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL ANYWHERE AND I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A ENGINE RECALL ON MY MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR. I AM AFRAID OF THE COST OF THE REPAIR AND THE SAFETY OF A VEHICLE THAT STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY.
