Description of the problem	Had oil light go on when i would take off from a stop but would turn off when i stop. I called the dealer and took it in and was told that the oil filter was put in wrong. The dealer put a new one on and did all the test to make sure it was working proper. Nine day later i had a oil leak and called the same dealer and was told to come back in. The service manager then told me the because someone else had done other oil changes on the car i would have to pay for any repairs if the other place would not. When i asked about the part being under warranty the service manager told me that this part was not under warranty. The service also told me that even if the dealer did the oil change after the first one that kia would not warranty it. So now i will get a bill over 900 dollars and still not know if i have a engine that will work .
