NHTSA Complaint #11324199 — 2014 KIA SOUL

MY KIA SOUL 2014 SINCE MARCH HAS BEEN CONSUMING ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF OIL HAD IT CHECKED NO LEAKS. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED ON FEB 28TH 2020 AND THEN BY THE END OF MARCH NOTHING ON THE DIP STICK HAD TO PUT 3 MORE COURTS IN, NOT EVEN 4000 MILES. TOOK IT IN TO CHANGE THE OIL TWO DAYS LATER, THE NEXT DAY APRIL 1ST WENT TO MARYLAND CHECKED OIL WHEN WE CAME BACK, DOWN JUST A LITTLE. CHECKED AGAIN TWO WEEKS LATER DOWN HALF AND PUT OIL IN. ON MAY 2ND CHECKED THE OIL BEFORE MY HUSBAND WENT TO ASHEVILLE FOR WORK AND NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK ADDED OIL AND TOOK TO KIA ON THE 4TH. STARTED A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ON MAY 4TH BY MAY 11TH WAS HALF WAY IN BETWEEN LOW AND FULL SO I WENT TO KIA AND THEY TOPPED IT OFF. THEY ALSO SAID IT IS A KNOW ISSUE BUT NO RECALL AND THEY HAVE THREE VEHICLES IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW WAITING FOR NEW ENGINES. THEY COULD QUOTE ME ON AN ENGINE OR I WOULD JUST HAVE TO KEEP ADDING OIL. IT IS SHAMEFUL THAT THEY NOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT WILL NOT CORRECT IT. *TR
