2018 Kia Soul Engine Lost power coming off the highway. LUCKILY turned on a corner with a park and ride next to it safely without getting hit. Tried turning over the engine twice with no luck and the third time just to get myself home. Oil light, Battery light and engine light all on. JUST GOT AN oil change less than 2000 miles before this happened. Dipstick says NO OIL. Really?!!! $11,000 left on the car and there’s no recall?!!!! You must be joking! If this happens to you, I hope you give your local dealership hell as I am about to do. This is ridiculous. If I lost power on the highway I’d Be DEAD. Kia you need to fix this NOW. Contacted you and I got no call back or answer when called. Ridiculous.

I bought this car in November 2018. Eight months later the entire engine failed and the $7000 should be covered under Kia's extended warranty, but Kia isn't covering it. So I'm screwed.
Update from Jul 25, 2022: I meant I bought in November of 2021. I accidentally put 2018 because the car is a model 2018, but I did buy it used in 202.
