Soul

  • 91,521 miles
The contact owns a 2014 Kia Soul. The contact stated that while driving at 60 mph, white smoke began to emit from the rear end of the vehicle as the "pull over immediately' as well as the check engine warning lights illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact immediately pulled over and shut the vehicle off. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to hometown Kia (111 midtown ave, mt hope, wv 25880) where he was informed that the engine threw a rod and that the engine would have to be replaced. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and a case was filed. No further assistance was offered. Upon investigation, the contact linked his failure to NHTSA campaign number: 19V120000 (engine, engine and engine cooling); however, his vehicle was not included in the recall. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 91,521.
