It is burning through 2 quarts of oil every 3000 miles and it is sitting at a Kia dealership whom doesn’t want to fix it. I have seen class action lawsuits in regards to this issue

Headlights switch set in Auto position. Headlights turned on spontaneously, two different times while auto was off and locked. This resulted in battery being drained and auto would not start. This has not happened since switch was set to Off position.
