NHTSA Complaint #11447233 — 2016 KIA SORENTO

This car is consuming oil at an alarming rate. There is not an oil leak on the ground or black smoke from the tailpipe. I have taken it into the shop and was informed that the oil consumption is in the acceptable range for Kia. I have to add over four quarts of oil every 3,000 miles between oil changes. With that much oil sitting in the engine burning off at some time or another is a fire risk. Also the warning light for a low oil does not come on. In my experience with this vehicle it has only flashed one time and when I checked the oil there was nothing on the dipstick. I have turned this information into Kia and my extended warranty company and neither one want to take responsibility and properly fix this motor with the known issues. Apparently my vehicle is not the only vehicle with the same motor by Kia who has had this issue. I would prefer to be proactive and have my motor replaced properly or fixed before my car catches on fire as this issue has resulted in many Kia vehicle fires. As grandmother of three under the age of 7 it would be very difficult for me to remove all three of my grandchildren from an emergency situation that could be preventable.
