WHEN DRIVING WITH THE NEED OF HEADLIGHTS, THEY WILL FLASH/FLICKER OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN WHEN USING MY TURN SIGNAL PRIMARILY. I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE OFF WHEN IT HAPPENED ONCE, BUT IT HAS NOW HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND I HAVE FOUND OTHERS ONLINE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THANKFULLY IT HASN'T BEEN ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, BUT IT IS ON BACK ROADS THAT DON'T HAVE MUCH LIGHTING.

THREE OPEN RECALLS THAT PREVENT THE CAR FROM BEING SAFELY DRIVEN, BUT MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS THE SOONEST OPENING THEY HAVE IS IN 2.5 MONTHS TO PERFORM THE WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 KIA SOUL. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED.

KIA RECALLED MY ENGINE. THE ENGINE DIED YESTERDAY. KIA IS TELLING IT'S GOING TO BE MULTIPLE DAYS UNTIL THEY CAN EVEN SCAN THE CAR. THIS IS A SCAM. THEY NEED TO OFFER A LOANER OR A RENTAL IN THE MEANTIME, OTHERWISE, THEY'RE NOT FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE RECALL. MY HEALTH AND SAFETY ARE GREATLY AFFECTED WITHOUT MY CAR. THIS IS NOT A FREE AND SAFE REMEDY.

HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SAME PROBLEM SINCE 2020 TOOK IT IN ROUGHLY 5 TIMES FOR SAME THING SAID WAS CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEY PUT NEW ONE IN NOT FIXED WHEN I PUSH DOWN ON GAS PEDAL IT HESITATES FOR 3-4 SECONDS THEN KICKS IN DRIVES FOR A WHILE THEN IT SHUTS IT DOWN WHEN YOU PUSH ON GAS PEDAL WHEN AT A STOP SIGN IT HESITATES AGAIN HAPPENS A LOT MORE NOW IN TRAFFIC IT HESITATES THEN KICKS IN SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH CAR HAS 55329 MILES I NEED TO KNOW IF THIS UNDER WARRANTY IF ELECTRICAL OR TRANSMISSION WE ARE UNSAFE DRIVING YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HESITATE

MY ENGINE IS LEAKING OIL AND THERE IS SOMETHING BLINKING ON THE DASHBOARD.

I HAVE 2 2015 KIA SOULS AND OIL LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AT LOW RPMS WITHIN A 2 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. I REPLACED THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR ON MY DAUGHTERS SOUL TO FIX ISSUE. IT STARTED ON MY WIFE'S CAR THIS MORNING. I SEE RECALLS FOR OTHER KIA MODULES FOR THIS SENSOR AND LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS TO EXPAND TO THE SOUL. GETTING A FALSE WARNING CAN MAKE YOU GET OFF THE ROAD IN HAST STINKING THERE IS A MAJOR ISSUE.

MY 2015 KIA SOUL HAS 71,500 MILES ON IT AND HAS THE BASE 1.6L ENGINE. APPARENTLY THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUES AS THE OTHER RECALLED ENGINES REGARDING BURNING OIL. THIS CAR HAS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BETWEEN REGULAR 3K MILE OIL CHANGES. IT BURNS OVER A QUART OF OIL PER 1K MILES DRIVEN. WE HAVE A CPO WARRANTY AND EXTENDED DEALER WARRANTY AND WE STILL ARE UNABLE TO GET THIS FIXED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP IS CLAIMING WHAT THEY'VE DOCUMENTED IS NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION AND THEY REFUSE TO FILE A WARRANTY CLAIM. THE DEALER WILL NOT TAKE OUR WORD THAT WE'VE HAD TO PUT MORE OIL IN THE CAR BETWEEN OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND TOLD US WE'D HAVE TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM VERIFY THE OIL LEVEL WITHOUT US PUTTING MORE IN IT--THEREFORE DRIVE THE CAR WHILE IT HAS NO OIL AND THE DIPSTICK ISN'T REGISTERING IT, WHICH IS UNSAFE. WE KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND WHEN THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE OTHER 1.6L ENGINES. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED?

I WAS NOTIFIED OF ENGINE FIRE RECALL ON MY KIA SOUL. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN COMPLAINING OF BURNING SMELL, ENGINE LIGHT, TIRE LIGHTS COMING ON - EVERY TIME THEY REFUSE TO FIX ANYTHING. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP BY SERVICE STAFF THAT 'HE'S SURE MY CAR IF FINE AND IT WOULD PASS THIER' INSPECTION, SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. EVEN WITH THE RECALL LETTER. THE STAFF PERSON ALSO SAID THAT THE MEDIA (NEWS) IS 'MAKING IT ALL UP'. I AM DISABLED AND THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITH MY CAR AND THE ENGINE FIRE RECALL.

I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH BURNING OIL, SIGNIFICANT OIL LOSE IN A SHORT TIME, HAVE ALREADY DONE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, I ALREADY HAD THE KSDS SOFTWARE UPDATE, THE CAR STARTED JERKING AROUND AND SLOWED DOWN, LOST POWER, IT WAS FINALLY DETERMINED THEY WOULD REPLACE THE ENGINE, BEFORE THE RECALL ACTUALLY STARTED. THEY PUT ANOTHER BAND AIDE ON THE PROBLEM AND INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE ENTIRE ENGINE, THEY ONLY REPLACED THE BLOCK. I WAS ON A TRIP AND THE NEW FIX STARTED TO HEAT UP, I COULD SMELL BURNING OIL, I PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS 1 QUART LOW IN ABOUT 378 MILES. I HAVE NOTICED OVER THE LAST 1 1/2 YEARS THAT IT GETS EXTREMELY HOT ON ROAD TRIPS AND LOOSES OIL FAST. I PUT OIL IN BECAUSE I WAS SO FAR FROM HOME AND DID NOT WANT TO BE STUCK IN TENNESSEE. I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THIS CRAP FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. NOW THEY ARE SAYING I HAVE TO DO THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ALL OVER AGAIN, 4 TIMES! I AM WORRIED, FRIGHTENED AND PARANOID DRIVING THIS CAR KNOWING IT COULD CATCH ON FIRE AT ANY MOMENT. I FILED COMPLAINT BACK IN SEPT. OR OCT. AND KIA IS STILL FIGHTING ON DOING THE RIGHT THING AND PUTTING MY LIFE IN DANGER EVERY DAY. IT MADE NO SENSE TO ME THAT THEY WOULD ONLY REPLACE THE BLOCK WHEN THEY CLEARLY STATE IN THE RECALL LETTER THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED THE DEFECT BUT THEY DECIDE TO PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER BY JUST REPLACING THE ENGINE BLOCK. I AM FURIOUS AND NOW THEY WON'T FIX IT WITHOUT 6 MORE MONTHS OF ME DRIVING THE

I CALLED KIA TO GET THE ISSUE RESOLVED AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE THERE COMPUTER'S WERE DOWN AND HAD NO ETA ON WHEN THEY WOULD BE BACK UP.

LOST OF POWER . MOTER SHAKING . WHEN ACCELERATING CAR LOSES POWER . BURNING OIL

CHECKED MY OIL AND THE DIPSTICK WAS SHOWING NO OIL AT ALL, 2 QUARTS HAD BEEN ADDED 2 WEEKS PRIOR. NO SIGN OF AN OIL LEAK ANYWHERE. 2 DAYS LATER I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS IDLING VERY HARD THEN DIED, I WAITED THEN STARTED IT BACK UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT IT DIDNT DIE AGAIN. IT HAS SINCE CONTINUED TO RUN VERY ROUGH. THIS STARTED AT ABOUT 90,000, OIL CONSUMPTION IS RIDICULOUS. THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM HERE, SO MANY PEOPLE ARE MAKING COMPLAINTS AS WELL!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 KIA SOUL. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM ENGINE. THE CONTACT HAD TO FULLY DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE TO SIDE OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT BECAME AWARE OF FLUIDS LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A ROD GOING THRU THE ENGINE BLOCK. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V120000 (ENGINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) FOR WHICH THE VIN WAS INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SUGGESTED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

AT 88K MILES CAR BEGINS TO DRIVE SLUGGISH CAUSING A ACCELERATION ISSUE. YOU CAN ALSO HEAR A WHISTLING SOUND FROM THE ENGINE WITH A FAINT KNOCKING SOUND. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION AND IT WAS SAID TO BE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND OR TRANSMISSION. BOTH WERE CHANGED AND VEHICLE IS STILL DRIVING SLUGGISH.

WHEN I HIT ABOUT 65K ON THE VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON. EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS IT'S BECAUSE THERE IS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. I ALSO NOTICE THE LIGHT COMES ON APPRX. 1K BEFORE THE CAR IS SCHEDULED FOR A OIL CHANGE? THERE IS NO WARNING THAT I AM LOW ON OIL UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I'M AFRAID I'M HEADED FOR BIG TROUBLE WITH THIS ENGINE!

PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. ALSO I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH LOOSING OIL I DO NOT HAVE AN OIL LEAK. NO OIL NO WHERE. KIA SERVICE BEEN DOING A OIL TEST EVERY 2000 MILES THEY HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY TIME. ONE DAY I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON I STOPPED TO CHECK MY OIL LEVEL THE ENGINE WAS DRY WITH NO OIL. I HAD 600 MILE BEFORE A OIL CHANGE.

2015 KIA SOUL+ 2.0 ENGINE. PURCHASED IN 2017 WITH 24K MILES. BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 80K MILES. CAR BEGAN LOSING OIL AND I BEGAN HAVING OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE AT DEALERSHIP. CAR WAS LOSING 1 QUART OF OIL PER 1 K MILES. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT ALTHOUGH MAINTENANCE WAS DONE AS REQUIRED, THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE ENGINE OR HELP SINCE EXTENDED WARRENTY WAS EXPIRED. DRIVING TO WORK ONE MORNING, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE TOWED 65 MILES TO DEALERSHIP. UPDATED SENSOR CODE. REPLACED PVC VALVE. USING 5-30 OIL. STILL LOSING OIL.THIS MORNING, AT APPROX. 92,300, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH COSTS RELATED TO TOWING. VERY FRUSTRATED WITH KIA AND THE DEALERSHIP SINCE FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY REAL PROBLEM WITH THE 2.0 ENGINES. CAN'T AFFORD TO TRADE IN.
