It appears my car is burning oil, there is no leakage. I keep oil changes on a regular basis and now checking oil levels daily. It is using 1-1. 5 qts every 2 weeks. This problem was found with last oil change. My car now seems to seize when taking off inconsistently. I don't know if two problems are connected. There are no warning lights coming on. I contacted cartown kia about 3 times by phone, leaving messages, and online but no response.
Oil consumption test performed and vehicle is still consuming/burning oil at a rate of 1 to 2 quarts every few weeks / engine knocking continuous / kia of irvine continues to provide no answers and wasted my time on a recent scheduled visit and said there were no recalls and upon looking up the recall status it states there are 4 , answers are needed on the status of this vehicle , thank you.
Every 500 miles I am adding a quart of oil to my 2014 kia Sorento. Plus the oil light is not turning on when the dipstick is showing below low on oil. . Read more...
My 2014 kia Sorento recently had an engine failure. I was driving on the freeway at 65 mph and heard a loud knocking so I started to exit the freeway by the time I got to the middle lane I heard a loud pop coming from the front of the vehicle. I lost all acceleration and coasted to the side of the freeway. Before the engine quit working there were no warning lights on my dash and temperature of the engine was normal. As soon as the engine quit working the oil light and engine light came on. After getting it towed 17 miles and 150 dollars later I was told by the mechanic the engine was completely seized up. They checked the oil levels and said it was half of a quart low. This vehicle is only 6 years old and all of the miles put on it are freeway miles driving to and from work. This engine has been burning up oil like crazy everytime I took it in for routine maintenance or replaced the oil myself it has been low and very black. The maintenance has been kept up on per spec's of the manufacturer.
The engine has been burning oil very quickly. We had an oil change and around 5,000 miles later, there was zero oil left in the car - the oil light came on. Then it was fine until the next oil change. Then less than 3,000 miles later, the same thing happened. Added 4 quarts of oil to it and about a month later, it was low again and the oil was very dark.
Engine oil burnout - within 3 weeks of a fresh oil change the oil completely burned out of the crank case / 2 oil changes performed within 3 weeks , no oil leaks or smoke from exhaust , vehicle was in motion and immediately herd a knock and pulled over and shut vehicle off before any major damages could occur.
After getting an oil change in March my check engine light went on in early June. The dealership is stating that the engine will seize and there was no oil. My car did not burn or leak oil. The dealer is stating it's an open recall but kia is denying.
My Sorento feels like it's going to stall, especially when accelerating. It's also burning oil at an alarming rate. The oil lamp flickered once while driving on the highway. There is no obvious oil leak. I took it to the dealership and they said it needs a new engine it that it isn't covered under the 17v224 recall. I'm afraid that the engine is failing and that it is kia's responsibility, but they are ignoring the problem.
I have two major safety hazards going on with my vehicle that I fear for the safety of my 4 children and wife when we're driving on the highway, and other fast roads. The first issue is the electrical. It first started back around 40,000 miles when I took my kia to a kia dealership in naperville, IL and they told me both low beams were out, so they replace them. Ever since, I've been replacing these bulbs every 3-6 months because they keep blowing out while driving and it's against the law to use high beams, so I'm driving in pitch black. Now, just 3months ago, both of my brake lights go out, at the same time. Three years ago my back up camera stopped working, and hasn't worked since. At 57k miles my engine was recalled for engine failures, ad within the last 6 months I've experienced stalling, stuttering, knocking while driving on high ways, at red lights, in traffic. Furthermore, in September 27, 2019 my engine oil was completely undetectable on the dip stick when I took it in for a routine oil change at 99,664 miles. Also, back at 64,977 miles during routine service, it was low. With these concerns, I took my kia in today to the gerald kia north aurora, IL, they ran diagnostics and said everything was perfect. They said they cannot explain why my bulbs keep burning out. The tech manager also stated that the stalling and knocking in my engine is because my engine had no oil in it. He checked for leaks, and didn't find any leaks. My last oil change at a jiffy lube, they told me the same thing at 99,664 miles, it was almost dry. At todays service, mileage is 102,554. That means 5 quarts of oil burned up in 2,890 miles or most likely way sooner because after 1. 5 months of the oil change I started experienced stalling, knocking, stuttering in the engine, so that must have been at only 1000-1500 miles. I put in a claim with kia consumer affairs, but I'm not satisfied.
