Description:
Kia issued a recall for defective piston oil rings. The recall was performed on my 2021 Kia Seltos and showed that I needed an engine replacement. The day that the dealership tested my car Kia suspended the recall stating the test was inaccurate. When the recall test was reissued my car passed and was denied for a new engine. An oil consumption test was performed on my car and the results were that my Seltos goes through 2 quarts of oil every 1,000 miles. Kia will not do anything because I do not have records of 1 oil change that was done at my home. The recall stated the car is at risk for a fire hazard because oil could be seeping places it is not supposed to be. The car will also shut off while being driven if the oil gets below 2 quarts low.
