Consumer Description

IN OCTOBER 2019, MY CAR LOST POWER AND AFTER GETTING IT TO KARP KIA IM ROCKVILLE CENTRE NY AFTER MUCH HASSLE KARP KIA REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. TWO DAYS AFTER I PICKED UP MY CAR I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AT JIFFY LUBE. 3 DAYS AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THERE WAS NO OIL IN MY CAR AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. AFTER I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THAT THE PROBLEM WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE RECALL, THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE ENGINE IS NOT A 1.6 BUT A 2.0 IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAVE 59000 MILES ON THE CAR. I SAW WHERE 2.0 ENGINES ON OTHER KIA MODELS WERE ADDED TO THE RECALL BUT NOT THE SOUL. I ALSO SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS WEBSITE THAT ARE THE SAME AS MINE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND CONSIDER OUR COMPLAINTS BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. FYI, I STILL HAVE MORE THAN $10000 LEFT ON MY CAR NOTE.
