It would go for several trips with everything fine and then it would be a quart low.  I continued to drive it and check the oil before every trip.  At approximately 106,000 miles, I suddenly lost engine power, a small puff of black smoke from the exhaust, and the check engine light came on.  I crippled it home after checking all fluids - they were fine.  I trailered the car to my mechanic and after diagnosing it, he stated the #1 cylinder had no compression.  I brought it home and checked online to find out that this seemed to be a common occurrence with the Sportage.  To double check, I took the car to a second mechanic to get the same results except he provided more detail.  Compression on #1 Cylinder 0, #2 was 140, #3 145, #4 140.  He stated the compression should be above 175.  My safety issue was I could have been stranded on I49 and if this had happened at night, I may not have been able to get it home.  I took the vehicle to Crain Kia, Fayetteville, AR. when the first Check Engine Light came on and they stated it was shown as low engine oil even though it had oil in the engine and that it showed low compression on Cylinder 4.  I now have a vehicle with 106,048 miles that without major engine repairs is worthless to me.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SPORTAGE","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
