Description of the problem	Been getting regular oil changes on track. And on time. Last 2 oil changes i been noticing oil levels dropping low after 1000 to 1500 miles driven. No leaks no burning smell. Engine would be burning the oil. Twice kia never noticed anything wrong. Now driving down highway engine light came on. Heard klacking aound and slowed down. Car lost acceleration for 5 minutes. After pulling out the highway it started sputtering acting like it was going to stall out like it had low oil. Again it was low. Added oil. This was after 800 miles driving. Still no leaks. Towed it to kia garden grove california. They said i needed new engine. Oil filter had metal shavings said it sould be already in engine. Quoted me 12k. Car is 2014 and has 115k miles. It's worth 6k. Looking at everyone's else co plained you can clearly see an oil engine problem that might produce fires or engine breaking. Possible lubrication issue around 75k miles and on. There should be a recall on the engine
