Description of the problem	January 10th, 2020 my 2014 kia soul + lost power in acceleration while the vehicle was in motion. The vehicles dash lights only had the check engine, battery and oil light on. The vehicles temperature guage stayed consistently in the middle position at 50%. I had the vehicle towed to my local mechanic. My mechanic explained that the engine had locked up. He also noted the engine had no oil and the oil pan was dry... This is impossible. I change my oil religiously every three thousand miles. How is there no oil in the vehicle when i change it regularly? The vehicle only has 117,171 miles. The vehicle was not leaking oil. My driveway, where the vehicle is parked, has no signs of oil leaking. The area where i had the vehicle come to a rolling stop after it broken down, had no signs of oil on the ground. I notice that there are similar complaints on this website that are identical to mine. Please investigate. Vehicles that are only 6 years old should not have their engines lock up.
