Consumer Description

MY 2015 KIA SOUL HAS 71,500 MILES ON IT AND HAS THE BASE 1.6L ENGINE. APPARENTLY THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER RECALLED ENGINES REGARDING BURNING OIL. THIS CAR HAS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BETWEEN REGULAR 3K MILE OIL CHANGES. IT BURNS OVER A QUART OF OIL PER 1K MILES DRIVEN. WE HAVE A CPO WARRANTY AND EXTENDED DEALER WARRANTY AND WE STILL ARE UNABLE TO GET THIS FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING WHAT THEY'VE DOCUMENTED IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION AND THEY REFUSE TO FILE A WARRANTY CLAIM. THE DEALER WILL NOT TAKE OUR WORD THAT WE'VE HAD TO PUT MORE OIL IN THE CAR BETWEEN OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND TOLD US WE'D HAVE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM VERIFY THE OIL LEVEL WITHOUT US PUTTING MORE IN IT--THEREFORE DRIVE THE CAR WHILE IT HAS NO OIL AND THE DIPSTICK ISN'T REGISTERING IT, WHICH IS UNSAFE. WE KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE OTHER 1.6L ENGINES. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED?
