Description of the problem | I have had a 2015 kia forte with the gdi engine in it. I have been paying on it for over 2 years now. I went to the store last night and when i started the car after i got out of the store i heard a loud clanking noise. Come to find out there was no oil even though i have it serviced regularly. Was running fine, no indicator lights. Went up the road yesturday it was making loud clacking noise. I immediately pulled over. Called my daughter and she came to the location and said i had no oil! Even though i just had it changed. We put 4 qts in and had it towed home. Plz help!!! We have taken good care of this vehicle and it is still under financing!! I'm a disabled widow with no vehicle now! |
