Soul 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 64,000 miles

Engine burning oil.

At 75000m, took it in after a 3000mile last oil change and no oil on dipstick. This is the second time it has been burning oil...backfired a few times a month ago, took it in, no codes, tech found nothing wrong.

No low oil light lit.

Soul

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles

It's burning oil at 57725 miles 1.5 quarts per 1000 miles

Kia consumer affairs needs more tools to help the consumer. A loaner car would be the best option yet they have so many vehicles with this problem the best I get is a rental reimbursement of $39.50 a day. Well in Boise you can't rent a car for less the $45 a day so why am I being charged for their faulty equipment. I have contacted attorney to further pursue this injustice being committed against consumers. I'm the original owner this shouldn't take months and I'm just now finding out that this is a really big issue happening all over with these Kia vehicles.

Soul EX 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 106,000 miles

high oil consumption. 15 l of oil in less than 6000km

I have been complaining since I bought the car @ at 36k, At 60k I was burning 2L every 5000K Now at 100k I did the major maintenance package $1000.00 later I burnt all the oil the dealership put in at the time of my oil change Plus I put in 5 L, took it back to dealership they topped up my oil. With 3 L. Then I have put in another 2L again Now that’s for just for 6k worth of driving. And no one wants to do anything about it. Not right. My making model is on the class action lawsuit for the oil consumption but they’re saying my my Vin number is not listed. So now what do I do with a lemon?
