The brakes are not braking the way they should make a grinding noise and then stalled to stop i was on i-285 going home to jasper ga also i've noticed that the gear shifter can go into another gear w out brake on
Car does not recognize it is in park, and cannot be started due to safety feature of not being able to start car in gear. temporary fix was discovered to be shift all the way to 2nd gear, then back to park. taking to kia dealer tomorrow to have 'switch' checked for possible short. car was driven and parked. problem occurred twice. once in carport the next morning (10/9). then in parking lot after returning from shopping in grocery store (10/12).
I was driving on the highway with no other vehicles around and my sunroof exploded!
My car is stalling while driving. it is really scary when it happens and i checked it twice through diagnostic tests with kia and they cannot identify the issue. i am really concerned about my safety as this stalling feels like a powerful stonewall impact. it happened 6 times in a 2 month span. my kids got scarred too when it happened while they were in the car with me. if the dealer cannot determine the cause, i am afraid to drive it. please help. thank you.
Audio & bluetooth system have failed. audio system previously failed in december 2011. audio system just blacked out . dealership replaced audio system at that time under warranty. at this time there is a loud scrambled sound when radio is turned on and bluetooth does not work either. googled audio problems regarding this model of auto was found on a you tube demo of exactly the same type of problem experienced by another person in july of this year. the problem turned out to be a failed external amplifier. in doing some further checking on the web found that another person also had their audio system fail at 39,000 miles in 2011. as amplifier was not covered after 36,000 miles he was quoted charges of $114.00 for a diagnostic eval, $640.00 labor for putting in a new amp and $825.00 for new amp itself. in the 2013 consumer reports buying guide the 2010 kia soul has a much worse than average rating for the audio system. maybe there should be some investigation done on this audio issue and possibly a recall issued. i could certainly live without a radio but have an issue using my phone without the bluetooth while driving. there seems to be quite a few complaints when looking on the web regarding audio problems on this year and model of vehicle. *tr
