general problems of the 2013 Kia Motor Soul

The contact owns a 2013 kia Soul. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the low beam headlights started to flicker off and on. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 110,000.

The brake lights go out all the time. They work one day and then not the next. This is a known issue with kia vehicles. Apparently this is a wide spread issue that effects many kia brand cars not just the Soul model that I drive. I have people stop me saying they did not see my brake lights come on at all when I obviously had to. Why hasn't this been a recall? this is a problem that could end in fatalities.

I have been having major battery issues switching out my batteries and them going out fast. Also when I'm driving my car shakes when it goes above 60 miles per hour, also when I change gears I noticed I get a hard thump when I change my gears. The electrical in the car sometimes it goes off and on my radio has completely went out it comes on when it wants. Cruise control when I put it on sometimes just cuts off when I'm driving. Engine runs kind of rough when I first got my car everything was smooth but after 6 years I noticed everything started running the little rough.

Both low beams went out at same time. Hi beams are working. Fuses and bulbs are ok. Was parked in garage and when started car in evening noticed didn't have low beams.

Well the first item is the dealership told me there was a recall on the driver side panel door. The second problem right low beam light has been out now for almost two years I have been everywhere we had switched bulbs we have traced wires everything replace the relay still can I get that to work and sometimes he does lunds highway road you hit bumps all the lights come on in car it is some kind of electrical short in a car somewhere.

Cruise control has unintended acceleration. Also has random turn offs. Also the way it turns on in cannot slow down during turn on unless you press the slow (set - ) button a second time. Different than american. Dangerous. Sometimes cruise control engages with the resume button, sometimes not. Suspension: during a turn on highway at 45 mi hour car hops over when you hit even a small bump. Makes you feel like you will lose control of the car. Never had a car in 40 years that did this. Lighting: automatic lights turn off, and change position function due to poor design on tip of blinker stick. Results in lights not coming on at dusk when expected. Steering: does not hold a straight line on a windy day on flat highway roads. Same road 15 year old 100k mile car we traded in was fine no problem with that. Engine: shakes terrible at at idle whether in park, neutral, drive or with or without a/c on. No matter. Transmission: grinding noise turning left louder than right. Told dealr all these things, they denied it and wouldn't fix. Huge bang as car slows down when transmission downshifts. Lurches forward as you try to stop, making you pass your expected stop point. Gas mileage low: 26 or so, old car had 120 hp more and got 31mpg on highway and was 700 pounds heavier. Dealer had already removed sticker before we picked up car. Ongoing.
