Description of the problem	2015 kia soul+ 2. 0 engine. Purchased in 2017 with 24k miles. Began having issues with vehicle at approximately 80k miles. Car began losing oil and i began having oil consumption test done at dealership. Car was losing 1 quart of oil per 1 k miles. Dealership informed me that although maintenance was done as required, they would not replace engine or help since extended warrenty was expired. Driving to work one morning, engine light came on. Vehicle towed 65 miles to dealership. Updated sensor code. Replaced pvc valve. Using 5-30 oil. Still losing oil. This morning, at approx. 92,300, engine light came on again as i was pulling out of my driveway. Very frustrated with costs related to towing. Very frustrated with kia and the dealership since from my research, this is a very real problem with the 2. 0 engines. Can't afford to trade in.
