Description of the problem	My engine is burning a large amount of oil. I take it in to do regular changes. I have a 2013 kia sorento. It has 136000 miles just recently the oil light started coming on, checked the dip stick and it registers none. Its been taken for regular oil changes but burns up the oil before its time for a chsnge. I don't understand. Also ive seen numerous white sorentos on the road and most of them have the same paint problem on the roof right above windshield. Its peeling off and getting worse. Also cracking around kia symbol on rear hatch. It started with rust spots then, cracking then paint peeling. The engine problem seems to be a wide spread problems with kia owners and the paint obviously is a defect from the factory. Love my sorento but need these issues fixed.
