Description of the problem	Takata recall, the indicator gauges/sensors on the instrument panel indicating low oil pressure, as well as others are currently not working and my engine is burning oil in excess of manufactures specifications. General knowledge is that this can cause my engine to seize or catch on fire which is an immense safety concern. Per the york pa kia dealer, the oil was empty the oil pressure indicator never illuminated. It wasn't until my car was deemed empty that the check engine light came on. Car was inspected by dealer and york kia (sept 18) claimed no permanent damage to my engine as a result. (vehicle passed emissions/safety two weeks later - monroe muffler & break, york pa) as my car didn't seem to be leaking oil, subsequent vigilance by me revealed that my car was burning oil. Two follow-up visits since september to remedy the problem with lancaster pa kia (last 11/27 - 11/28 (81,500 k on engine) and work with gwc (power train $2,100 warranty) an aftermarket warranty have been rejected despite evidence that my car is burning oil in excess of specs. As i am not the original owner, nor did i purchase this as a certified vehicle, as there is no active recall, kia will not remedy. Maintenance records support that this vehicle wasn't mechanically neglected and maintained by all previous owners. If you request notes from the dealers that i have been working with please call me at [xxx] and leave me a message so i know what the call is regarding. In addition my email is [xxx] thank you. Ps. As this is my only vehicle, and not really safe, information that would indicate that a recall for my make and model would be very helpful on how i handle the situation with my current vehicle. Lost around $500 needing rentals etc. Plus worthless warranty. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
