NHTSA Complaint #11320711 — 2014 KIA SOUL

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, "55 MPH" SPEED LIMIT WAS 60 MPH MY ACCELERATION WENT OUT ON MY CAR AND I COULDN'T GO ANY FASTER THEN 20/25MPH. MY CAR STARTED TO SOUND LIKE A WEED EATER AND I NEVER GOT A SINGLE LIGHT FOR SOMETHING BEING WRONG. AS I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD MY CARS ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND. I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP CLOSE TO WERE I LIVE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE HAD PIECES OF METAL FLAKES IN IT AND THAT IT WAS LOCKED. THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS 3.5 QUARTS LOW OF OIL BUT I JUST HAD THE OIL CHANGE AND HAD ABOUT 3,500 MILES LEFT BEFORE I NEEDED MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. I'M WRITING ON HERE BECAUSE I CALLED KIA AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MY 2.0 ENGINE DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL ON IT, BUT AS I RESEARCH I CONTINUE TO FIND MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE A 2.0 ENGINE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE OF THE RECALL ON THE 1.6 ENGINES.
