Since I have all these other issues with the car I kind of pushed this one to the side. I noticed while I was at a stoplight in the mornings smoke was coming out of the exhaust. This would be something you would see in the winter when it's cold outside. However it was in June. After reading about all the engine problems this car has I can only assume this was attributed to the engine recall. (engine has metal shards in it) Now I thought to myself that surely the oil light would come on but after reading all these complaints it is apparent the Kia (at least 2013) does not and I repeat does not have an oil gauge. Good Grief! My first car was a 1963 Chevy and it had an oil gauge!
