Consumer Description
I BOUGHT THIS CAR AT 62,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER I STILL HAD A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY UNTIL 100,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH OIL DISAPPEARING FROM THE START. I HAVE TO PUT IN OIL BETWEEN CHANGES AND HAVE BEEN GETTING IT CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES. IT TAKES ABOUT 2 QUARTS IN BETWEEN CHANGES. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF LEAKS, NOTHING IN MY DRIVEWAY OR ANYWHERE I PARK. I DID READ THAT THEY RECALLED THE 1.6 LTR ENGINE BUT HAVE NOT RECALLED THE 2.0 LTR. I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE 1.6. I SEE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE 2.0 HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. PLEASE GET INVOLVED AS I SEE NO RECALL ON MY CAR AND IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PUT IN SO MUCH OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. THE OIL LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON AND THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT, THE OIL WAS RIGHT AT THE LOW MARK. THE OIL ALWAYS LOOKS FUZZY WHICH IN MY 50 YEARS OF DRIVING OLD CARS AND CHECKING THE OIL CONSTANTLY, I HAVE NEVER SEEN. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP. I AM AT 87,000 RIGHT NOW. PLEASE HELP US MAKE SURE THAT KIA DOES THE RIGHT THING IN THIS. I HAVE READ THROUGH THIS WEBSITE AND SEEN MANY OTHER KIA OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.
