Consumer Description

I OWN A 2015 KIA SPORTAGE WITH 148,898 MILES ON IT. NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS, I KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE OF THE VEHICLE AND GET OIL CHANGES REGULARLY. THE LAST OIL CHANGE WAS AT 143,122 MILES. FOUR DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE OIL LIGHT WENT ON THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND I COULD HEAR A KNOCK IN THE ENGINE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND GOT A TOW TRUCK TO TOW ME TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC SAID THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR AT ALL AND IT WAS BONE DRY BUT NO SIGNS OF LEAKING. THE ENGINE IS NOW RUINED.
