Description of the problem	Every 500 miles i am adding a quart of oil to my 2014 kia sorento. Plus the oil light is not turning on when the dipstick is showing below low on oil. There are several online forums that have noted as many other kia vehicles have had this issue: sited references: car gurus: https://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-t57466_ds944098? Sntemlid=5086909646#msg1125429 kia forum: https://www. Kia-forums. Com/threads/2-4-oil-consumption. 344078/ motor biscuit: https://www. Motorbiscuit. Com/a-2016-kia-sorento-owner-experienced-an-expensive-problem-at-the-worst-time/ i have taken it in to a mechanic and they are not sure how to address the issue. I also brought it to medved kia dealership in wheat ridge colorado for an oil consumption test, i brought it in every 500 miles to check the oil consumption. After 3000 miles the oil was down a total 2. 5 quarts. The dealership told us they contacted kia headquarters and said there is nothing they can do until there is a engine failure, but our concern is if someone is unaware of the oil consumption (or if we forget to put oil in our car at 500 miles) issue and their engine seize on the highway this could put them and other vehicles on the highway in a potential dangerous or life threatening situation. Additionally, the user manual states (page 7 \| 11) under normal conditions you should change your oil every 7500 miles, the vehicle take 5 quarts, so if we waited for the 7500 miles the engine would seize or explode. Kia has issued an extended warranty for engine defects and fires, but it does not detail the oil consumption issue, i think this should be looked into as many people are having the same issue.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
