FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE HAD THE CAR ENGINE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY IN AUG 2018. ON MAY 27, 2019 AS WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR ON VACATION, WE SMELT SOME GASOLINE. LATER AFTER WE FILLED 5 GALLONS OF GAS AND DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MILES, SUDDENLY THE CAR STALLED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE FUEL INDICATOR SAID THERE WAS GAS LEFT BUT ACTUALLY IT WAS EMPTY. ADDING GAS FROM CAN STARTED THE CAR AND SOON WE NOTICED BIG GAS LEAK. OPENING THE ENGINE COVER SHOWED THE FUEL LINE WAS SPEWING GAS OVER THE HOT ENGINE. THIS IS A BIG FIRE RISK AND THANKFULLY, WE CAUGHT IT BEFORE THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. WE PUSHED THE FUEL LINE BACK INTO THE FUEL PUMP BUT THE END CONNECTOR IS BROKEN. NO IDEA WHY IT BROKE ON ITS OWN SO SOON AFTER ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURE SHOWING THE BROKEN END. WE DID NOT TAKE PICTURE AS IT WAS SPEWING GASOLINE WHEN WE OPENED THE COVER AS WE WERE TOO SCARED ABOUT THE ENGINE CATCHING FIRE AND QUICKLY TRIED TO FIX THE FUEL PIPE BACK AND WIPED THE SPILT GASOLINE AND LET EVERYTHING DRY.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2014 KIA SOUL (86,000 MILES) IS CONSUMING OIL EXTREMELY FAST. I HAD MY OIL CHANGED 5/2/19 AND AS OF YESTERDAY 5/26/2019 MY LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE.THERE IS ALMOST NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 6+ MONTHS. IT IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE. NO OIL SPOTS HAVE BEEN DETECTED UNDER THE CAR. I PARK IN THE SAME PLACE EVERY DAY. NO SMOKE IS DETECTED. THE FILTER INSTALLED IS A KIA BRANDED FILTER FROM THE SERVICE DEPT OF THE KIA DEALERSHIP.

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2015 KIA SOUL 2.0L ENGINE. I GET ALL SCHEDULE MAINTENANCE DONE, INCLUDING REGULAR OIL CHANGES. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OIL BURNS EXTREMELY QUICKLY OUT OF THE CAR AS IF IT DISAPPEARS. I HAD THE CONVERSATION WITH A MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT THAT I DRIVE MY CAR AND THAT THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY PROBLEMS. I FOUND MYSELF PUTTING OIL IN MY CAR EVERY 2 WEEKS OR SO BECAUSE THE OIL WOULD BE LOW. I WAS GETTING MY OIL CHANGED AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT MY OIL WAS BURNING HOT AND SUGGESTED I GET MY CAR TO A FULL AUTO SHOP. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY NOTICED THE SAME THING BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. A WEEK OR SO LATER, I'M DRIVING ON A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 45 IN A 50. I PRESSED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE SO THAT I COULD CHANGE LANES AND MY CAR IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND DROPPED DOWN TO 20MPH. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY HAZARDS AND TRIED TO CHANGE LANES. MY ENGINE BEGAN TO JERK AND THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL SPEED. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD IT WAS INTERMITTENT MISFIRES IN CYL 2 AND 3. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED, 2 AND TWO COIL PACKS DONE, BUT WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. WAS ALSO TOLD THE OIL WAS LOW, THOUGH I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT THE UF SENSOR WAS OUT AND I HAD A DAMAGED CATALYIC CONVERTER AND 2 EXHAUST GASKETS. 2 WEEKS LATER I'M DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET GOING 25MPH AND I HEAR A LOUD SQUEAL FROM UNDER MY HOOD. MY OIL LIGHT FLASHES AND MY ENGINE STALLS. I HAD JUST PUT OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE HAD LOCKED BUT THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY.

MY MOTOR HAS 103,000 MILES ON IT. IT STARTED MAKING A SLIGHT TICKING SOUND. THE OIL IS CHANGED REGULARLY AND IT WAS NEARLY TIME TO HAVE IT CHANGED. I TOOK MY LITTLE BOY TO SCHOOL AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE NOISE GOT A LOT WORSE. I WENT AHEAD AND TOOK IT TO CASTROL TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE OIL. THE OIL WAS FINE BUT WE WENT AHEAD AND CHANGED IT. I ENDED UP HAVING TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED HOME. A MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THAT I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 KIA SOUL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HANSON SUBARU KIA (2300 CARRIAGE LOOP SW, OLYMPIA, WA 98502, 1-877-224-14270) TO BE REPAIRED PER A MANUFACTURER RECALL CAMPAIGN REGARDING THE ENGINE. THE DEALER FOUND TWO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES, BUT THEY FAILED TO REPLACE THE MOTOR OR CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ONLY PROVIDED AN UPGRADE TO THE COMPUTER. THE DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE THE REMEDY AND CLEARED THE FAILURE CODES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR AND WAS CONSUMING MOTOR OIL AT A HIGH RATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FULLY REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I GOT A RECALL NOTICE (NHTSA RECALL#19V120). BEFORE I COULD GET IT LOOKED AT AND CORRECTED, I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. I WAS ON AN INTERCHANGE BETWEEN HIGHWAYS AND THE CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE KIA DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS TOTALLY PLUGGED UP. IT SAYS IN MY RECALL NOTICE THAT A MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP "MAY: ILLUMINATE. MY MIL DID NOT ILLUMINATE. AND BECAUSE OF THIS AND THE "COMPUTER " SHOWED NO CODE THAT THEY WOULDN'T COVER IT UNDER THE RECALL. NOW I AM VERY IRRITATED. I DON'T CARE THAT MY MIL LAMP WASN'T ILLUMINATED, I DON'T CARE THAT IT DIDN'T SHOW A CODE, IT SAYS RIGHT ON MY RECALL NOTICE THAT THEY WILL UPGRADE MY COP ECU LOGIC TO PREVENT OVERHEATING OF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. EVIDENTLY THE DAMAGE TO MY CONVERTER WAS DONE BEFORE I COULD HAVE THE UPGRADE DONE. NOW THE DEVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWED NO CODES, SO I'M CURIOUS HOW THEY NEW IT WAS THA CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I WOULD SAY THAT THERE IS EITHER A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM OR KIA IS RUNNING SOME KIND OF A SCAM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME IT WOULD COST ME OVER 1200 DOLLARS PLUS THE TOW BILL TO FIX THE CAR, TOTAL OF 1400 + DOLLARS. I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CONSUMER SAFETY RECALL. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY DOING 70 MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED MY WIFE AND I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN KILLED. I THANK GOD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN..I TALKED TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE COMPUTER SHOWED ABSOLUTELY NO CODES AT ALL. ACCORDING TO THAT MY CAR SHOULD BE RUNNING FINE, BUT IT IS NOT. SOMETHING IS WRONG IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM TO NOT SHOW ANYTHING AND MY CONVERTER IS PLUGGED. THIS JUST IS NOT RIGHT. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME ACTION ON THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A CASE NUMBER THROUGH KIA FOR THIS ISSUE. CASE NUMBER IS13177167. THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

I OWN A 2014 KIA SOUL PLUS WITH 104,000 MILES. THIS CAR HAS HAD DOCUMENTED SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGES ON A REGULAR BASIS. OUT OF NOWHERE THE ENGINE ROD HAS BLOWN. I HAVE CALLED FIVE DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND ALL STATE THE KIA IS KNOWN FOR BAD ENGINES. CALLED JASPER WHO IS WELL KNOWN FOR REBUILT ENGINES AND THEY WILL NOT TOUCH A KIA. I UNDERSTAND THE HYUNDAI HAS RECALLED NUMEROUS CARS FOR BAD ENGINES. KIA HAS RECALLED FROM 2012 TO 2016 THE KIA SOUL BASE FOR BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ON THE RECALL NOTICE IT SPECIFICALLY STATES THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAN DAMAGE THE ENGINE. I HAVE OWNED FOUR CARS WITH MILEAGE OVER 200,000 AND ONE CAR, A MAZDA 626, HAD OVER 325,000 MILES AND I NEVER HAD TO REPLACE AN ENGINE THERE HAS TO BE SOME FEDERAL PROTECTION FOR THE PUBLIC FROM MANUFACTURERS THAT SELL A POORLY MADE PRODUCT THAT MECHANICS FROM ALL OVER KNOW ARE PROBLEMATIC. I ONLY HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN 4 YEARS.

STEERING
AT AROUND 60,000 MILES, BEGAN TO NOTICE CLUNKING NOISE AND SLIGHT WOBBLE WITH STEERING COLUMN. AT FIRST IT WAS MINIMAL, BUT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND NOW HEAR NEW SQUEAKING/GRINDING NOISES WHEN TURNING AT LOWER SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED. RECENTLY RESEARCHED AND SAW THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL (THE 2010-2013 BUILDS), WITH A VIDEO REGARDING THIS ISSUE ON YOUTUBE HAVING MORE THAN 40,000 VIEWS AS OF WRITING THIS (HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/J3U0KHPLZ8C). THE SAME STEERING COUPLER PARTS THAT WERE DEEMED DEFECTIVE FOR OTHER RECALLED MODELS FROM KIA/HYUNDAI APPEAR TO BE THE SAME ONES USED IN THE 2013 KIA SOUL (AND OTHERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED).

WE PURCHASED A CAR FROM A SMALL LOT SELLING USED CARS IN TEMPE, ARIZONA. AT 20 DAYS AND ABOUT 800 MILES THE CAR BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AS MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR INTO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD GOING ABOUT 5-10 MILES PER HOUR. HE SHUT OFF THE CAR. I CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK AND THERE WAS ZERO OIL IN THE CAR. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SALESPERSON ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HE SAID WE COULD TOW IT TO HIM TO LOOK AT IT AND HE INSISTED THAT HE CHANGED THE OIL IN THE CAR BEFORE WE EVER DROVE IT. DUE TO MY CONCERN THAT THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR, I ADDED 2.5 QUARTS. THERE HAVE BEEN NO OIL LEAKS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, NOR WERE THERE ANY AFTER I ADDED THE 2.5 QUARTS. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER ON A FRIDAY MORNING AND NO REAL WORK WAS COMPLETED. I CALLED KIA CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WHERE THE OIL WOULD JUST EVAPORATE AND THAT IT WAS COVERED UNDER SC147. KIA CORPORATE HAD ME CALL A LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP AND THAT'S WHEN THE SERVICE DEPT SAID KIA CORPORATE WAS WRONG. I MADE A RETURN CALL TO KIA CORPORATE WHO CORRECTED THE FIRST AGENT AND TOLD ME THEY WERE WRONG AND THAT I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS ISSUE. THE ENGINE ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT - THIS IS THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS OTHER CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS AT THIS TIME FOR OTHER KIA VEHICLES.

I HAD MY OIL CHANGED LAST MONTH AND NOTICED AN ODD SMELL AROUND THAT TIME I DIDNT THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME BECAUSE THERE WAS NO NOISE OR OBVIOUS LEAKS TO WEEKS LATER MY OIL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING SOMETIMES AND I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL... IT WAS A QUART LOW SO I TOPPED IT OFF AND WENT BACK TO NORMAL FASTFOWARD TO THIS MONTH ITS EMPTIED OUT TWICE I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY FOUND THE CAT HAD OVERHEATED AND CAUSED AN OIL LEAK AND THERE IS NOW AN AWFUL TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON THE MODEL WITH THE 1.6 LITER ENGINE AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED BUT THIS RECALL DOESNT COVER THE 2.0 LITER EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE ON THEIR 2.0 LITER MODELS AND HAD TO BUY NEW ENGINES THIS IS HORRIBLE AND I AS A CONSUMER FEEL A FULL ENGINE FAILURE ON A WELL MAINTAINED CAR THAT ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE SAME RECALL. KIA NEEDS TO EXPAND THIS RECALL

SO THE SAME THING THAT THE OTHER KIA ENGINE RECALL IS FOR HAPPENED TO MY KIA WITH A 2.0 L ENGINE I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS SAYING THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THEIR 2 LITER ENGINE AS WELL BUT THE RECALL DOESNT COVER US SO WE ARE HERE WITH BLOWN ENGINES AND NO REMEDY OTHER THAN TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET...

MY 2015 KIA SOUL IS MISFIRING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS FLASHING. I RECEIVED A RECALL AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO STEVE NAPLETON KIA OF ELGIN. THEY SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED AN ECU UPGRADE AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. MY CAR DIDN'T HARDLY MAKE IT OUT OF THE LOT BEFORE SHAKING LIKE CRAZY AND ULTIMATELY STALLING. I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING I MUST HAVE DONE TO IT BECAUSE IT WAS FINE WHEN I LEFT. THEY NOW REFUSE TO FIX IT UNLESS I PAY FOR IT. LITERALLY AT A LOSS FOR WORDS..

I WAS DRIVING MY KIA ON BACK ROAD ABOUT 40 TO 45 MPH AND NOTICED A TICKING SOUND. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK OIL, IT WAS LOW BUT STILL IN HASH MARKS. I ADD ABOUT A HALF QUART OF OIL. RESTARTED AND STILL TAPPING BUT NOT AS LOUD. I DROVE CAR MAYBE 2 MILES AND NOISED TURNED INTO A LOAD CLACKING NOISE. I WASN'T FAR FROM HOME AND WAS TRYING TO GET HOME. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FOR STOP SIGN AND CAR JUST CUT OFF. BRAKES BECAME HARD TO USE AND I COULD NOT STEER. HAD CAR TOWED TO HOUSE. I LET IT COOL DOWN AND THEN CHECKED ALL FLUIDS, RADIATOR AND ENGINE OIL WERE FINE. I WAS ABLE TO START CAR BUT IT WAS STILL CLACKING. I HAD READ ON LINE IF YOU LET IN IDLE CLACKING MIGHT GO AWAY, I DID AND IT BECAME LESS CLACKING, I DROVE IT AROUND THE HOUSE , WE HAVE A DRIVEWAY THAT GOES AROUND HOUSE. 3/4 OF THE WAY AROUND IT STALLED AGAIN. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT. HAD TOWED TO SHOP THEY ARE SAYING NEEDS NEW MOTOR. THE ONLY CODE ON COMPUTER IS CAM POSITION. I HAVE NOTICE THAT KIA HAS HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH OTHER ENGINE OF SAME YEAR BUT NOT THE 2.0 WHICH IS THE SAME MOTOR WITH BIGGER PISTONS. I'M SCARED OF WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I WERE DOING 70 ON A HIGHWAY IF THIS HAD HAPPENED. HARD BRAKING AND STEERING.
