Description of the problem	We change our own oil, and, noticed at approx. 5,000 miles after oil change, oil was down approx. 2. 5-3 quarts. Changed oil again, 1,000 miles later, oil down 1. 5-2 quarts. Took to kia dealer, they changed oil again, started oil consumption test. After this, drove home, went to runsome errands, engine lights starts flashing, couldn? T get more than 45-50 mph out of it. Had it towed to kia dealer, they done reprogramming of ecm. Not even 100 miles later, was on highway, dropped to 45 mph again, with semi truck behind us. Was not far from dealer, so, drove it there. Has been there since 3/23/20. Kia allegedly can? T get tech there due to pandemic, but, isn? T there telecommunications tech work that could be done? As rentals have to be renewed every 30 days due to insurance regulations, dealer already paid approx. $1300 on first rental vehicle, now in second rental. Which is going to cost more, rental or repairs/replacement? Is kia corp. Trying to bankrupt their dealers by doing this practice? This vehicle is under a ? Certified pre-owned? Warranty, as well as, an extended warranty as well. Dealer also frustrated kia corp. Keeps putting them off as well, with 4 vehicles sitting on their lot, waiting. For tech as well. I just wonder nationwide, how many dealers are having same issues, and how many other owners/vehicles are affected?
