Consumer Description

Engine is leaking oil. Recall reference number 20V75000 also listed as SC200 applies to my vehicle, but when I called about it, Kia states that it does not. I had a mechanic look at it, and all of the same issues are happening to my vehicle. The recall states that an engine compartment fire can occur while driving. My car has lost a quarter of the oil in a matter of three weeks. This is not normal. The mechanic noticed several oil leaks from the engine.
