Description of the problem | After multiple attempts at the shop, the kia has been burning oil. There is no smoke or leaks. A compression test was not done at the original inspection of the car, and there is no oil in the car after about 500 miles. This engine has been burning oil since 85000 miles and there is "nothing" that kia can do for our issue. Thus, in line with other complaints about this issue there should be something done for the engine replacement. This is a known issue for the other engines, but the 2. 0l engine is not under recall.... Yet. This is a very serious issue and a general consumer should not have to monitor oil consumption of an engine at 60-80k miles. There is something wrong with the engines and it could be a real concern for safety. |
