Consumer Description

MY 2016 KIA SORENTO IS HAVING OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH MANY OF THE ENGINES ON SEVERAL KIA MODELS. I HAVE FOLLOWED ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT KIA HAD RECOMMENDED TO MONITOR OIL LEVELS AND NOW KIA IS CLAIMING THEY ARE NO LONGER "HONORING" THAT TYPE OF TESTING. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF THIS HORRIBLE PROBLEM WHICH COULD ULTIMATELY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE YET DEATH IF ONE OF THESE KIAS ENGINES DIES OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT WARNING. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME YET BUT I WAS JUST READING PLENTY OF REVIEWS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE AND PRAY WHENEVER I GO OUT AND DRIVE. PLEASE TAKE NOTE ONCE AGAIN OF THIS CRITICAL ISSUE SURROUNDING THESE VEHICLES. I HAD A KIA BEFORE THIS BUT NEVER AGAIN WHEN THEY ARE DEFAULTING ON THEIR OBLIGATION TO FIX THIS HUGE PROBLEM. AND SHAME ON YOU FOR NOT BACKING CONSUMERS HAVING THESE ISSUES!!!! IT IS A DISGRACE THAT A FOREIGN CAR COMPANY COMES IN AND PROFITS OFF OF AMERICA AND DOESN'T BACK IT'S OWN PRODUCT. CORPORATE GREED AT ITS GREATEST. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO KEEP US SAFE ON THE ROADS WITH THESE THINGS HAPPENING ON THE ROADWAY?????????????? THANK YOU, [XXX] PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME. YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
