Description of the problem	As i drove home i heard an unusual sound coming from my engine. The oil pressure light began to flicker on and off. Once home i checked my oil level and i had no oil showing on the dip stick. I filled the oil reservoir with the correct oil type but now the indicator light was solid and no longer flashing. Driving home a few miles after getting oil my vehicle would not accelerate and i almost lost control of steering twice. No smoke was coming from the engine but my vehicle is not safe to drive. I contacted kia customer service with concerns about the current recall on the kia soul but was told there is no recall on my particular model. Usually i am notified if my vehicle is affected by possible recalls and they are fixed right away. I was never notified about this recall and now my vehicle may have possible damage because of it. My concern is that i wasn't notified and repairs might not be covered by kia. I ran my vin number numerous times and nothing came up for a recall. I researched possible symptoms of what could cause what i experienced. I was surprised to learn that possible damage caused by the catalytic converter could be what happened to my vehicle. The following issues were loss of acceleration, loss of oil, loss of control in steering. Thankfully no engine fire though.
