Description of the problem	My car starting to begin to show lack of power at first, which i had mentioned in advance in service appointments. Two days before my one year of owning it, the car began to stall out when i stopped for traffic lights within the same day a oil light warning flashed, and the car started to have a knocking noise. I went and added two quarts of oil. Once the oil light disappeared but the knocking continued . I took the car to my regular kia service provider the same day and in the process of going there the engine light came on. I was told to bring it in the next day, the attendant told me that he could hear the knocking, which sounded concerning. I brought the car back the next day as instructed and was told that i should be able to pick it up at end of day. Time passed by and it was getting late towards closing, so i called the shop. I was told that the engines had seized and that the oil bay was dry. I have never seen something happen so fast. I had no warning of any kind of oil issues until the day before, and i had been taking the car in for it's regular services. The car was in the kia service shop, and moved by them. It was running when i brought it in but i am being told that the engine is shot.
