Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS BEEN BURNING OIL IN AN ABNORMAL RATE. IT BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING OF 2020. I ALWAYS TOOK MY CAR FOR RECOMMEND MAINTENANCE TO THE KIA OF CARSON IN CALIFORNIA. NOW ABOUT EVERY MONTH I HAVE TO TOP OFF THE OIL. AN ESTIMATE OF LESS THAN 600 MILES PER MONTH. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM AT A LIGHT THE CAR WILL SHAKE A BIT. ALSO IF I USE THE AC THE CAR WILL SHAKE A BIT AS WELL IT DID NOT DO THAT BEFORE. IF AM DRIVING I DON'T FEEL THAT SHAKES. THE FIRST TIME THAT I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS GOING ON I WAS AT STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR SHAKED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO TURN OFF. AFTER THAT IT SHAKES IF AM TOO LONG AT A LIGHT BUT NOT TOO HARD.
