Description of the problem | In may of 2019, my car experienced engine knocking. We brought it in to get an oil change, the knocking stopped and one day a couple of weeks later while driving down the highway at 60 mph, the engine threw a rod. After having it towed back to our house, the tow guy told us the engine was completely out of oil. That would have been impossible seeing as we had just gotten an oil change. We were moving the following week and had the car towed to our new house an hour away where my kia soul has been sitting for the past 8 months. After doing some research and fighting with kia consumers, kia is refusing to replace my engine that they failed to include in the 2018-19 recall on engines that were failing due to this exact problem.
