| Description of the problem | My vehicle keeps having issues with oil. I get regular oil changes an i have to put oil in it either every 2weeks even after an oil change. I have had an oil compsumption test an have been told that there is nothing wrong with my car. There are no oil leaks at all. I was on the highway in cruise control when it all of sudden came out of cruise control then i noticed my rpm gauge wasn't working also. I then came to a light an when i started to go i noticed my car being sluggish to reach 60mph. I at one time had my pedal to the floor. It also acted like it wanted to stall on me. I made it home an into my driveway where i turned it off an back on which at that point my rmp gauge started working an the car acted normal. I have asked kia about this problem numerous of times an i get no where. They say well we see that the consumption test came back in the standard range. I have no leaks an i have to put oil in my car on a regular bases. I can be only 4,000 after an oil change an feel it actiing up an then i ck my oil an my dip stick is clean no oil so then i have to add more oil. I am concerned that i will be on the highway an my car will just shut down. My car is always moving when i have these problems. I keep getting the run around about this issue. |
