I was driving to work and my check engine light came on. I figured I would take it to my mechanic the next day since I did not see, hear, or smell anything at that time. Within 10 minutes, a knocking noise started under my hood. I immediately headed towards my mechanic's shop - I made it 8 miles, with the knocking becoming more frequent, until it stopped and my engine died. I was in the right lane of the highway at approximately 50 mph. I was able to coast from the closest exit ramp into a gas station parking lot. I had my vehicle towed the rest of the way to my mechanic, who diagnosed a spun or thrown rod bearing. He identified one hole in the bottom of the engine - the ejected part had pierced the engine block and my oil pan. I called kia consumer affairs, who advised this sounded like an issue I should take it to a dealership to have evaluated for replacement/repair by kia. As far as I know, there has been no recall, but kia seems to already be aware of this problem in Souls and has not issued a recall. The representative on the phone at kia consumer affairs said I "may not have even received the letter yet". My vehicle was not included in the previous recall but appears to have suffered the expected issue. The recall should be expanded. I took my vehicle to my local dealership, who coordinated with their district manager and kia has agreed to repair my engine. I am concerned that they will only repair the damage but not address the actual issue. The dealership also identified a second hole that had been made in my engine block by debris when my engine broke down.

I began hearing a loud knocking sound while I was driving. I stopped at a pep boys and the tech told me I should be fine to get home. After some time on the road my engine light began to flash and the oil light was on as well. I was able to get the car off the nearest exit and into a park and ride parking lot. The car at this point was smoking. I began to gather my things then I saw flames appear under the hood. That's when I exited the vehicle. The car was engulfed in flames within five minutes. I lost 2 ipads and my iphone. But we made it out safely! a good samaritan followed us off the highway. He has dash cam of my car that shows a spark go off underneath the car while we were still on the road.

The engine in my 2013 kia Soul blew at only 56000 miles. My wife was driving the car on the interstate when she heard a knocking noise and she pulled over. A man came up to her window and told her there was flames coming from the bottom of the car. It turns out that a rod went through the engine block and leaked all the oil out of the car. When I took the vehicle to kia, the service tech asked about the oil changes and had mentioned that the oem oil filter that kia puts has some type of pressure release and when you get the oil changed somewhere else they don't have that type of filter. I asked if it was required to have the oil changed at a kia dealer and he said no. We have had all the oil changes up to date on the vehicle. It is really hard to understand how an engine with 56k miles can stop.

For the last 3 yrs the last piston has been misfiring causing a knocking sound. Every where I take it, including 2 kia dealerships say it needs a new engine. I know other kia Soul owners with the same issue. This problem started in 2015. It's a known issue. Canada made kia replace engines with this issue. The car knocks whether stationary or driving.
