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.

Sudden loss of oil while in motion on a highway resulted in engine failure.

- Salisbury, MO, USA

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.

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..

One day I heard a rattling noise while driving. The next day, the noise turned into a very loud ticking/knocking sound. I keep my oil changed every 3000 miles so it could not be that there was not any oil in the vehicle. I had it towed to the dealership as I was afraid to drive it because I had heard that the cars were catching on fire. I inquired about this and was told there were not any open recalls on engine damage with Kia Souls and a diagnostic would be performed. A few days later I was informed that the engine was gone and advised $6800 to repair. The funny thing is I have been asked repeatedly, how would the engine go out in a 4 year old car? I was also advised that there was no warranty remaining on the car from the manufacturer as I was the second owner of the vehicle and the warranty ended at 60,000 miles. Ironically, my engine failed at 68,729. Now, I'm stuck with a car that doesn't run and owe almost $10000 on it. I am beyond heated with anger. I can't trade it due to the negative equity and it costs more to repair it than what the car is actually valued at.

My car is very sluggish when I press the gas pedal it feels like my engine does not want to go, and when I'm idling I feel as if my engine will stall unless I press the gas, I have contacted Kia regarding this problem and the associate I spoke with said that my vehicle has been recalled under the SC176 campaign ( this was in February 2019) it is now April 14th, and according to Kia my car is not officially recalled as of yet.. basically I feel I'm driving around in a ticking time bomb.. and according to the recall I am, the recall is due to a possible engine failure and fire.. my 2015 Kia Soul only has 22,500 miles on it... I feel Kia is ( no pun intended ) stalling regarding this highly dangerous safety recall.

- Bloomington, IN, USA

I had driven about 35 miles, stopped the vehicle for a few minutes, then re-started it. It immediatley began making a loud "clanking" noise from the engine. I had checked the oil the night before and added a quart. I immediately noticed a lack of power and the oil light came on briefly, and then flickered off. I made my way to the nearest gas station where I again checked the oil and found it to still be at the appropriate level. My route home required a 30 mile interstate drive that seemed would be impossible to make. I had it towed to a dealer and was informed it would require a new engine. The vehicle has only 69,000 miles and has regularly scheduled oil changes. When asked what could have caused the issue, the dealer service advisor stated that it is usually due to a lack of lubricant, but he didn't see any sign of that or sludge build up.
