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.

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.

Starting the engine the idle speeds up fast, a few seconds later it slows to normal. When driving today, there was no acceleration when attempting to. Vehicle was difficult for fuel to allow acceleration. I used my car all day today. This evening the vehicle won't start with the steering warning light turning on. Almost like the battery was dead. The vehicle finally started with acceleration high, the the engine light turned on and stayed on. I decided not to use the vehicle and will contact the dealership. Purchased the vehicle from a dealership in November 2018. These problems are new and have never occurred before. These issues occurred while driving today for the acceleration problem and the remaining non-starting/lights while stationary in my parking lot this evening.

I call the dealer and made an appointment to have it fixed the dealer did change the oil pan gasket, then I drove it until the next oil change, same thing oil leak at front of the engine, so I called the dealer made an appointment, they changed the valve cover gasket. I have now 82500 miles on the car and just came from having car check at my local mechanic and still oil leak in front of the engine. Looks like the warranty will run out with on repair to my vehicle!!!

I get this rocking/jerking/ feeling in the entire car while holding the brake and slowly inching forward or backward, as in going really, really slow. The feeling is worse than other times randomly while driving. For a fact it is absolutely worse when the car has been sitting overnight at home or at work all day
