Vehicle is experiencing abnormal oil consumption. Low oil light briefly illuminated on vehicle 1,000 miles before oil change was even due. Looked and oil dip stick was dry / empty. Refilled with 5 quarts of oil and took to local dealership for diagnostic. Local dealership referred me to kia for an oil consumption test.
Major consumption/burning of oil between oil changes. Was a quart low when had oil changed the end of September. By the end of October all of oil had burned out and had to actually add oil, then take to auto shop to check for leaks. No leaks. They did another oil change and now I have to constantly keep eye on oil level -- had to add oil again.
My 2016 kia Sorento is having oil consumption issues. I know that you are well aware of this problem with many of the engines on several kia models. I have followed all of the instructions that kia had recommended to monitor oil levels and now kia is claiming they are no longer "honoring" that type of testing. My biggest issue is that you are aware of this horrible problem which could ultimately cause serious injury or worse yet death if one of these kias engines dies out on the highway without warning. It has not happened to me yet but I was just reading plenty of reviews about this happening. I fear for my life and pray whenever I go out and drive. Please take note once again of this critical issue surrounding these vehicles. I had a kia before this but never again when they are defaulting on their obligation to fix this huge problem. And shame on you for not backing consumers having these issues!!!! it is a disgrace that a foreign car company comes in and profits off of America and doesn't back it's own product. Corporate greed at its greatest. What are you going to do to keep us safe on the roads with these things happening on the roadway?????????????? thank you, barbara simone (518) 231-6184 please feel free to contact me. You need to do something about this!!!!!!!!!!!.
Car kicks when driving. Oil burns out after oil change. Every week or 2 I have to put oil in. Problem still continues after kicking problem was somewhat fixed. Car still kicks but not as hard today. Engine oil is still burning up quickly.

At 65,000 miles my 4 cyl. Sorento started losing oil. The light came on once when no oil on dipstick. Original owner. Contacted kia, said to do oil consumption check. Have done. Using 2 quarts every 1000 miles. They are dragging their feet, not responding to my emails requesting a solution. It's nothing I've done. What good is their 100k warranty when they won't fix the problem. Communication with kia customer assistance very slow and poor. This should be a recall or class action suit based on the number of complaints I see posted.
