Tl the contact owns a 2013 kia Soul. The contact took the vehicle to west palm beach kia (located at 735 s military trail, west palm beach, FL 33415, (561) 433-1511) to be repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 19v120000 (engine, engine and engine cooling). The contact stated that the manifold, catalytic converter, gaskets, and exhaust pipe were replaced. In addition, the oil needed to be changed every 200 miles. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 124,896.
My 2013 Soul plus gets exhaust into cabin especially when cold. The rear muffler or converter directs the exhaust straight down, no tail pipe. This seems to be a design flaw.
Engine looses oil out tail pipe. Doesn't leak a drop or smoke. Warm it up in garage and there is a spot of oil where exhaust exits. After fresh oil change, around 1000 miles after there is no oil on dip stick. Started happening around 80,000 miles. Told kia dealer and they said warrenty is voided since I change the oil myself and have no documents to prove. I change every 3000 miles .
