| Description of the problem | My 2015 kia soul is now sitting at a shop, due to the fact that without any warning as i was traveling down the highway it decided to slow down and shake then stall managed to get it started and get off the highway to a store, checked the oil there wasn't any in the engine even though 2 days before i had just had it changed. That was on august 7 2019 after doing some research it seems that kia has let alot of people down by selling defective cars and for me i am still stuck with payments with no way to even save for a replacement engine as i have been told it needs. I hope that they come to their sense and do the right thing. |
