The vehicle began consuming oil rapidly without warning, despite regular maintenance. This issue did not appear until after 100,000 miles, which is common for this defect. The sudden loss of oil creates a serious safety hazard, including engine stalling or failure while driving.  Kia dealerships have acknowledged the symptoms but stated that because my vehicle is outside the warranty, I must pay for the oil consumption test and would be responsible for the full cost of an engine replacement. Kia has issued multiple Technical Service Bulletins related to excessive oil consumption in these engines, and many owners have experienced the same problem. This is a manufacturer\u2011related defect that develops over time and poses a safety risk to drivers and passengers.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SORENTO","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
