Description of the problem	I have a 2015 kia soul 2. 0l engine. I get all schedule maintenance done, including regular oil changes. I have noticed that oil burns extremely quickly out of the car as if it disappears. I had the conversation with a mechanic at the dealership and they told me it was because of the amount that i drive my car and that they didn't see any problems. I found myself putting oil in my car every 2 weeks or so because the oil would be low. I was getting my oil changed and the mechanic stated that my oil was burning hot and suggested i get my car to a full auto shop. I took the car to my local mechanic and they noticed the same thing but couldn't find anything wrong. A week or so later, i'm driving on a city street going about 45 in a 50. I pressed the gas to accelerate so that i could change lanes and my car immediately lost power and dropped down to 20mph. I immediately turned on my hazards and tried to change lanes. My engine began to jerk and then went back to normal speed. I took it back to the shop and was told it was intermittent misfires in cyl 2 and 3. I had the spark plugs changed, 2 and two coil packs done, but was still having the same issues. Was also told the oil was low, though i had just had an oil change. I was then told that the uf sensor was out and i had a damaged catalyic converter and 2 exhaust gaskets. 2 weeks later i'm driving on a residential street going 25mph and i hear a loud squeal from under my hood. My oil light flashes and my engine stalls. I had just put oil in my car. I was told that my engine had locked but they could not figure out why.

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.

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