Regarding nhtsa campaign #19v120000, i reported to kia that my vehicle is excessively burning oil, they've advised me my vin doesn't apply to this particular recall. in between oil changes i'm adding 5qts of oil because the oil is just mia. there's no leakage and no smoke from the vehicle. although i'm losing oil there is no warning light to advise of any issue. i can generally detect i'm low on oil when vehicle is sluggish on an incline, upon checking the dip stick has no oil. as a precautionary measure i'm requesting that my vin number be added to the current recall. last oil change was 01/03/2020; i just purchased a 5 quart container 02/15/2020 and had to add 2 quarts. my daily driving consists of about 16 miles a day; drive my daughter to school and myself to work, local. too many complaints pertain to this very issue, how much longer please?
While driving on the interstate at highway speed. approx 70-75 mph. the engine made a rattling noise and suddenly lost power. was able to coast to side of interstate and get off the road. car was towed and checked by mechanic. complete engine failure and rod thrown through bottom of engine. car was well maintained with regular oil changes. no warning lights ever came on. car to this point was always very reliable and never had any issues.
Took my car in to have oil changed before it was even due and it didn't even register in the oil dipstick. they changed oil i checked it about 2 weeks later and it was half full, later the next day i checked it and said it was low. i have no oil leaks, so itnis brining oil for no reason. taking to mechanic this week
Recall campaign 19v120000 for overheating catalytic converters was performed by chantilly ourisman kia in march of 2019. i believe that the catalytic converter was not properly inspected and should have been replaced during recall repairs. my vehicle is now disabled with a bad catalytic converter as of january 23, 2020. how can i find out if the recall repair was properly done?
After receiving the recall notification, i took my 2014 kia soul into the kia dealership to have recall repairs completed on 07/29/2019. the catalytic overheating protection engine control unit logic was upgraded; however, the check engine light came on a few days later indicating a problem with the catalytic converter. local repair shop informed me that kia should have completely replaced the catalytic converter under the recall. i have been attempting to resolve the issue with the kia dealership and their corporate customer service department. but i've received nothing but the runaround (waiting on the dealership to respond to an email from corporate customer service department) for almost two months. meanwhile, the engine continues to misfire and the car experiences a severe loss of power whenever accelerating.
On january 20, 2020 i was driving at about 50 mph on el mirage rd when suddenly the car lost power. i noticed the speed drop and tried pressing the gas to gain power and speed again then i heard a loud pop. i looked in my rearview mirror and there were huge flames and oil splattered on the back window. i quickly got out of my car and the flames in the back were still there but dying down and there was something on fire under the car. i had to use a bottle of juice to put out the fire underneath the car. if i didn't have that juice i'm almost positive the whole car would have caught on fire. i started doing research and saw that kia soul 2014 had a recall because of the catalytic converter overheating causing the piston rods to break and puncture the engine block causing an oil leak onto the hot exhaust system which causes a fire. the recall number is sc155. this recall supersedes campaigns 14v-332 and 15v-736. i had taken my kia soul to get a new catalytic converter based off the first recall in november. they must have put ...
Car is losing oil. right at about the 3 month mark for it's next scheduled oil change, the check engine light will come on. this happened 3 months ago (october 2019) and i immediately changed oil. just happened again a couple days ago right before it should be changed again. when checking the dipstick, there is no oil on it at all. it has dropped below any measurable amount. the car is garage kept with zero signs on leaking oil. i have not noticed any burning smells or smoke issues. the check engine light came on while driving on a city street less than a mile from home.
Check engine light keeps coming on code is po50a cold start idle air control system performance this had been going on sense oct
Driving the vehicle on the highway at 65 mph, there was a loud bang in the engine compartment followed by a loss of power. as the vehicle slowed, the check engine light illuminated, followed by the oil light illuminating. brought the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder and smoke filled the vehicle. flames coming from the engine compartment were extinguished with a fire extinguisher. there was a trail of oil behind the car with some pooling underneath. the vehicle was towed to our local dealership for examination: "found broken rod punched hole in block causing oil leak. oil got on exhaust causing fire. need to replace lockblock and several other components that caught fire or damaged." repair estimate with used engine ~$8000. i declined repairs at this time based on research of this problem. this vehicle has the 2.0l engine and thus was not covered under recall #19v-120.
I heard a knocking noise in my engine (66k). i had just changed the oil 4 months ago and was due for an 'oil change 'so calmly i went to check my engine and i was met with an unwelcome surprise, my engine was abnormally low on oil. i never had any inclination oil was leaving as i had no trace of leaks and my oil light never came on initially i thought maybe i could just put some more oil and take it to get the oil changed and the issue would be over. i was told by firestone, i should take to the dealer to get checked since it might still be under warranty. i did drive the car home and then to the dealer because i now had fresh oil and should be able to have the issue remedied. it took the dealer over a week to hear back from the tech line, with me calling constantly to get an update. only to be told there is nothing covered because i have fresh oil in my engine. it would cost me $5,600 to replace the engine.i was left with no recourse, since i cannot trade, but ...

Loud clacking noise and lost of power ## vin passed ## kia soul 2014 ##
I purchased this car used in feb 2019. in nov/dec it began to lose power when driving and the engine light came on. i took it to several shops and it was finally diagnosed as a clogged catalytic converter. the engine is the 2.0 gdi. it seems that it's a common problem with these cars. i would like an investigation to add the 2.0 engines to the 1.6 engine recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 kia soul. while driving 50 mph on the freeway. the engine made a weird knocking noise and the vehicle slowed down. the contact smelled a burning odor, pulled off the highway, and had the vehicle towed to sunset kia (3401 auburn way n, auburn, wa 98002, (855) 474-9626). the vehicle was included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v120000 (engine and engine cooling). the dealer diagnosed the vehicle and stated that the cause was not directly related to the recall because their scanner was not reading the catalytic converter code being damaged. because of this, the dealer refused to repair the vehicle per the recall. the manufacturer provided a case number, but stated that the final decision would have to be made by the district parts manager. the failure mileage was 87,500.
