Description of the problem	I purchased the car as used in 2019 and no active recalls were listed and still arent. A bout a month later i noticed my low oil pressure light was popping on and off at random intervals while driving on city and rural paved roadsi checked and engine was empty of oil. Oil was replaced and two week later the same thing. My 4th cylinder has now died . The spark plugs were replaced and it was fine for two weeks then stopped working again while i was on the highway. Replaced coil pack but this did not change anything. Upon investigation i found out the engine had been recalled but no evidence or recall was showing for this vehicle. Per website replaced engines have bright orange dip stick for the oil which this vehicle does, but all the problems associated with original recall information exists. I filed complaint with kia only to be directed to a dealership. The front left low beam has burnt out twice within 6 months as well.
