Description of the problem	I have a 2015 kia optima purchased in october 2017 with 34k miles approx. I am constantly putting oil in my car and it seems to evaporate in 2-3 days. There is no leak and we have no idea why the car is consuming so much oil. Lately the car has been knocking and when accelerating to merge onto highway, the vehicle starts to sputter and begins to stall. I do not feel safe in this vehicle with my children and no longer use this vehicle on a daily basis. After doing some research, i find that this year vehicle has the most overall consumer complaints and there still has yet to be a recall on the engine? I do not understand why kia skipped this year?? Let alone blame consumers that it's their fault for not following the maintenance schedule, yet when told the schedule has been followed, will find some other lame excuse so the manufacturer is not at fault. What is it going to take to have this engine recalled? We as consumers, myself, a single hard working parent, do not have the means to buy another vehicle just because kia says it's not their fault. This problem started beginning of april 2019, my vehicle has 52k.
