Description of the problem	I received recall notice for the engine control unit that can cause catalytic converter to go bad and can cause oil leak. I took my car in cause the check engine light and my car failed emissions i told them it was catalytic converter and i had a major oil leak they fixed the ctalytic converter and told me that the oil leak is because my gasket is messed up and if i pay for an oil change they will fix it and i wont have any more oil leaks well its 2 weeks later and my oil light is coming back on they are crooked and i know they are going to give me a hard time about it since i already had my catalytic converter fixed... The oil started leaking at same time check engine light was coming on so i know that it has something to do with catalytic converter over heating and in recall and kia told them if engine needs replaced they need to do it. I have an appoinment at 7:30 on 6/12 with kia of coatseville i need to know what i need to do to get them to fix my vehicle its costing me money to take off work to get this done
