Description of the problem	Had oil changed on thursday. Went on trip on friday. On saturday, the vehicle started acting like it wasn't gearing up going up a hill. On sunday, it was losing power going up hills. Had to take foot off excelloator and pat it and then hold it down to get up to 70mph. Using a lot of gas from 25 miles per gallon to 14 mpg. Couldn't drive over 65 on the way home. Took it to dealer. He said oil was 2. 5 qrts low even though i just had it changed. They checked the recall and oil and gas filters but cannot find anything wrong with it. Now it will only go 40 mph. They are confused and calling kia master mechanic.

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.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
