The oil pan plug fell off of the oil pan and I was not aware of it until I had driven the vehicle at least 20 miles. I had to pay for a tow to the Kia dealer, eventhough, I was told that the vehicle was still under warranty.(5 yrs or 50,000 miles) I took it back to the dealer to complain about it still leaking oil and was told that I would need to take it to the service department. I did buy the vehicle used three weeks ago and have had nothing but problems.
