Consumer Description

I own a 2014 Kia soul with 78000 miles. Engine light came on just changed my oil it was almost dry. I’m going through 2 quarts every two weeks due to KIAS power train warranty of 100000 miles I was sold on as a second owner. The dealer will not cover to replace the engine since the second owner warranty is inky warranted at 60k. Millions of people owning Kia’s are now trashing their cars because of this horrible situation! It’s in the courts I’m sure you know. This is criminal my safety and those behind me are at dramatic risk if my car fails on the highway which they are! I want this investigated for my safety. Several calls to Kia corporate no answer!
