Description of the problem | There are two (2) issues that are possibly connected. The first is excessive oil consumption. The kia dealership confirms that i am using approximately 1 quart per 250 miles, but they state that they cannot do anything for the issue. Additionally, the car has also become sluggish. Acceleration time has been greatly increased and car hesitates when the gas pedal is depressed. Both of these issues have me concerned for my safety in normal driving conditions and also when i need to accelerate quickly. |
