general problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Sorento - part 2

We went to get oil changed and they said if they change oil the engine will exploed . They said our vehicle had recall on it.

I had oil changed at the mechanic shop. A week later I drove in the city, the oil light came on and off. Then the car just shut down. I had it restarted and went home. I checked the oil it was almost gone. Took it back to the shop. They checked everything again and couldn't find anything wrong with it. No leaks. They don't know what went wrong. I contacted the other mechanic. He immediately knew what was wrong with it. He had other customers with same problems. It is the powertrain. We have to add oil weekly to keep oil inside. . It keeps burning up.

While on the highway going speed limit of 75 the kia started to slow down on its own. It would not go past 40mph in a 75. Once's in town the car was ok because the speed limit was below 40.

I just recently made a post here yesterday . . . And after reading comments, I thought I'd add on. My comments have to do with a 2015 kia Sorento which needs a new motor because bolts that hold the head to the block are stripped (I smelled antifreeze). Obviously, not my fault. Mileage is 102,000. Kia doesn't want to help me fix this. Telling me I need a new motor at a cost of $7,000+. After reading the comments, I had to add on. Two weeks after we bought the car used, the fuel pump went. That cost was covered. A short time later, the back-up camera went. Kia wanted $1,000 to fix that; we had it fixed for $200 out of pocket. The alternator went on the car (I think we paid for that). My door handle also fell off, we had that fixed out of pocket. From everything I've read, kia doesn't care about the consumer or their safety. I bought a new kia in 2004, traded it in in 2007 for another new kia, which I still have. It has 278,000 miles on it! we bought the 2015 used and it's been one thing after another. Can't sell it as is, gotta fix it. I've been a loyal kia owner since 2004 . . . Won't be anymore. First opportunity to sell this car, it's gone. And there won't be another one in my driveway. Whoever heard that a 2015 car needs a new motor?!?! and their refusal to help us is unbelievable. I'm so angry.
