 Description of the problemThe kia soul 1. 6 engine has been recalled due to oil consumption related to excessive catalytic converter heat. I submit to you that the investigation needs to be expanded to include the 2. 0 engine. I believe specifically related to the special edition cars that have the larger sized wheels standard wheel is 16" these come with 18" and i believe that these vehicles are subject to the same issue as the 1. 6 due to the engine working harder to provide power to run the 18" wheels. I have so far suffered extreme oil loss on 4 occasions. They have done oil consumption tests and required me to bring my vehicle in at my inconvenience a great number of times. With one time having th oil down by 1 quart. But outside of this i have had it go down on me outside of these tests on those 4 occasions so that the dip stick barely had oil on it and my engine was tapping. Only once did the check engine light come on and stay on and another time i happened to see it blink once. This extreme oil loss on these special edition 2. 0 vehicles will lead to the same issues as experienced on the 1. 6 engine. And so far as i am concerned i am now paying monthly payments on a vehicle that must have internal damage as a result of this manufacturing error. Please consider further review of these vehicles as they relate to the 2. 0 engine and special editions with larger wheels. If you would like i do have a video of the oil level on my dipstick from this past saturday that i can also send. Please believe me this is a recurring dangerous situation that is being overlooked> i have a 2010 kia soul which does nto have the new technology and ive had no issues with that car and it has about 150k miles. I also run a scion xb that i have maintained and it has over 220k miles. My cars are cared for and ive never seen anything like this before
