While driving on a side street the oil light started to flicker intermittently then remained blank not lighting up again. Very shortly thereafter, within a tenth of a mile, the engine sputtered, could here clicking from engine, vehicle then stalled. I drifted to the side of the road, opened the hood and checked the oil and noticed no oil registering on the dip stick. There was no visible oil showing on the outside of the engine or underneath the vehicle. The oil was changed at jiffy lube, store #2375, on emerson ave., indianapolis, in. Mileage at oil change was 100,973 performed on July 27, 2019 (see attached). Next oil change due at 105,973. Oil used was penzoil semi-synthetic 5W20. Mileage on vehicle at time of breakdown 105,490. Had vehicle towed to beck's auto service, indianapolis, in. Was told something broke loose in the engine and that engine had to be replaced. Vehicle is now sitting as I still owe $5,000 on it and do not have the $6,200 they told me it would cost for repairs.

The car computer is not registering the correct gear the car is placed into, thus causing the car to bypass critical safety features. The car's power train, electric systems, and fuel systems fail intermittently as a result of failing neutral safety inhibitor. The car reads that the gear is in drive instead of park and will not turn over. Thousands of other Kia customers are reporting the same issues since 2010 with no resolution. Dealership service centers have not been able to help the customers because the diagnostic tools do not pick up on this signal failure. The send car owners away saying the vehicle is in great condition only for the car to stall on the highway unexpectedly a few days later. This is dangerous and the customers have been given no option but to drive a vehicle with serious safety issues. Just check out the numerous youtube videos of customers all having the same issues across multiple Kia models starting in 2010.

Had the transmission serviced after having vehicle in multiple times for the engine vibration on 8/18/2018. Car continued to vibrate. Took car to another dealership to have it looked at. The recommended fuel injection and oil change. I had this work performed in September 2018. Drove vehicle and my oil light came on. Pulled over and noticed car was extremely low on oil. Added oil and drove to find a parts store to have put on a machine and never made it. Car started hesitating and squealing and I pulled over and had it towed. Service mechanic said no way should it be that low on oil after just having serviced a month ago and that oil was very black even after he added some indicating work the last dealership said they did had not been performed. Now needs new motor and unsure where the oil that was in the vehicle went to. Left me on side of road with children and no help yet from Kia other than you need to figure out how to get it to a dealership per their Consumer Affairs person jacob! this was on highway 74 East right outside of sylva,
