Consumer Description

CAR IS BURNING OIL AT AN UNUSAL RATE. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO KIA DEALER AND THEY KEEP DOING WHAT KIA TELLS THEM TO. EVERY TIME IS IS 1-2 AUARTS LOW JUST AFTER 1000K MILES. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 38K MILES ON IT AND HAD UNDER 36K WHEN STARTED TAKING IT TO THE KIA DEALER TO GET INVESTIGATED. THEY HAVE DONE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST; THEY HAVE DONE INTAKE CLEANER SERVICE AND IT IS STILL BURNING OIL. NOW, THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE CONTACTING KIA TO SEE WHAT IS NEXT STEP. THE CAR IS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD WITH 38K MILES.
