Hello . My wife bought a 2014 Kia Rondo (updated design) . It was a decent car car until about 80 to 90 thousand km. Then all of a sudden it started blowing through oil . We took it in to get an oil change and a week later I heard a tick coming from her engine . So I check it and it was 4 liters down. Wow I said the guys didn't top it up . So I went to the oil change place and proceeded to let them know in a Stern way . Well a week or so later I had to go back and apologize to them because it did it again.

With all said, I realized we have an engine problem. I went through the proper procedure in trying to diagnose what may be the problem didn't really want to jump to piston rings . The car only had 80.000 plus km on it so shouldn't be that . I changed the vent(pcv) valve on the engine 30 some bucks no biggie. Well that didn't do it . So here we are, we informed Kia of the problem and they wanted a 140 plus for a oil change and then they have to do an oil test and that costs more money . Then I said to them after your tests and you find out the motors faulty what are you guys going to do and the response is nothing. I said if this thing dies at an intersection or on the highway and gets in an accident and someone gets hurt or forbid dies . There was no response for that question.

Kia needs to step up and do the right thing like there doing in the states recall those faulty 2.0 engines . So with that said until there's more injuries or deaths things just don't happen. I think we have learned a lesson buying a brand new car from these guys. If you want repeat business make a decent and reliable car. My wife payed over 30.000 in 2014 and for that type of car was a lot of money then, never again !

Last year our mechanic noticed no oil in the car when he did an oil change. We had to start doing oil changes more frequently because of the oil consumption. In January 2023 after an oil change at the start of the month, we put a gallon of oil in the car over the next 30 days. Feb 1 2023 we took the car to the Kia dealership. They verified that we weren't burning oil and there were no leaks in the system. They did an oil change and said to come back in 1000 km to check consumption. At 1000 km, they verified that oil level was normal. They said to come back at 2000 km. Today we went back at 2000 km - there was no oil on the dipstick. Between 1000 and 2000 km, the car consumed over 3L of oil. They again verified there were no leaks. They said that the engine was just consuming the oil, and no recalls are available for our vehicle.

So we have two options to pick from now - just keep topping up our oil every week, or replace the engine. We have seen that there are class action suits in the states and in Canada. We don't know where to go from here. The vehicle was a dealer used vehicle before we purchased it so we were technically the first owners outside of the dealer. All warranties have now expired. And we still owe money on this car from the initial purchase!!!
