Description of the problem	I have taken my 2013 kia sorento to my local dealership after the latest engine recall. They upgraded software but gave no further explanation. Everytime i get my oil change its almost empty. The past 2 oil changes there has been almost no oil. Yesterday, i was driving, on the highway and check engine, oil, battery, light came on flashing and the car stalled in the middle lane of the highway. I was able to pull over and call a tow truck. I turned the vehicle off and 15 min later while waiting for tow truck i tried to turn it on and it came one. I canceled the tow and i am at the dealership today . My car is not leaking oil anywhere and i know there has been a engine recall on my make, model and year. I am afraid of the cost of the repair and the safety of a vehicle that stops in the middle of the highway.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
