Description of the problem | Car has only 34k miles. Had it for two months now. Hasn't had it's first oil change. However, the oil light comes on and blinks then shuts off, does this every time i drive or in idle. I put 4 qts of oil in the car a week ago. There is no reason the oil needs to be filled again. I'm going to have to put additional 4 quarts of oil again. There is no leaks, no burning or anything else. I'm worried about the engine blowing up or catching on fire. There was a recent recall on this car but i have no idea why i am not being told, or informed. The engine is usually quiet, but when the oil light blinks, it's also accompanied by a knocking sound. Kia is aware of this issue and we're sued by customers for the same issue. This is a big problem that kia has not attempted to redress. This issue happens while driving up to and over 40mph, while at a stop, and while driving under 10mph |
