| Description of the problem | Heading home on the highway and it shut down and i coasted it off the road. We discovered there was no oil in it but had no oil light warning or any other signs it was low on oil. The oil had been changed a few months before and was due to be changed in a couple of weeks. Now my kia needs an engine replacement that i can't afford and since i purchased it used it is no longer under the kia warranty. I'm making payments on a vehicle that i can't drive and i see no reason that the oil should have been empty especially with no warning light. |
