Description of the problem	I bought this car at 62,000 miles and was told by the dealer i still had a powertrain warranty until 100,000 miles. I have had issues with oil disappearing from the start. I have to put in oil between changes and have been getting it changed every 3000 miles. It takes about 2 quarts in between changes. There are no signs of leaks, nothing in my driveway or anywhere i park. I did read that they recalled the 1. 6 ltr engine but have not recalled the 2. 0 ltr. I am having the same problems as the 1. 6. I see many people with the 2. 0 have reported the same problem. Please get involved as i see no recall on my car and it is not right that i should have to put in so much oil between changes. The oil light has never come on and the first time i noticed it, the oil was right at the low mark. The oil always looks fuzzy which in my 50 years of driving old cars and checking the oil constantly, i have never seen. This needs to be a recall asap. I am at 87,000 right now. Please help us make sure that kia does the right thing in this. I have read through this website and seen many other kia owner with the same problem.

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.
