| Description of the problem | Car is rapidly burning oil and not dripping on ground. Recent activity: oil dipstick showed no oil on 01/18/2021 and took 3 quarts. It read full! On 01/25/2021. Service station reported out of oil again! Oil light on dashboard did not light. Kia dealership advised an oil consumption test that will be reported to you. I think it is important for you note that this occurred 1000 miles into my regularly scheduled 3000 mile oil change. Our local service station indicated that this is a widespread problem for this car and litigation is being considered. |
