Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Soul - part 1

Oil consumption. I expressed concern at 140,734 miles to dealership as oil light kept coming on every 1000 t0 1500 miles. Service rep said I needed a new engine, $9. 000. I have just recd notice of an engine class settlement. I am concerned if engine would stop working while driving on interstate, what happens.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v750000 (engine). The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to pride kia (793 lynnway, lynn, MA 01905) for the recall repair and the dealer inspected the engine compartment and found there was an oil leak in the oil pan. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle needed to be driven for 1,000 miles before the next oil change to do the oil consumption test. After the vehicle was driven for 900 miles, the failure occurred while the contact was driving 55 mph. The vehicle drove rough and while idling prior to stalling. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and an oil consumption test was performed. The contact was informed that the vehicle consumed 1 � quarts of oil. The dealer informed the contact that the oil change service history receipts were needed. The contact provided 2 years of oil change history receipts, which the dealer deemed was insufficient documentation. The dealer informed the contact that he needed to pay for the engine to be disassembled, and there was no guarantee that the recall would cover the cost of the repair. The dealer offered to cover half the cost of replacing the engine. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 117,000.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact stated that while driving at 35 mph, there was a burning oil smell, noises coming from the engine, and the vehicle would not accelerate as it stalled. No warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to fred anderson kia of raleigh (9209 glenwood Ave, raleigh, nc 27617) where the contact was informed that the vehicle could not be diagnosed as their computer systems were down. The contact also stated he received a recall notification with NHTSA campaign number 20v750000 (engine)�and the recall could not be serviced as the kia dealers computer systems were down. The vehicle was not repaired and was still at the dealer. The contact then contacted the kia manufacturer, whom confirmed that their computer systems were down and no further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 157,245. Tp.

Have burnt 5 quarts of oil in the last 30 days during normal use. Oil light has never come on to indicate low oil.

Since first oil change done with delray florida kia I complauof kicking sounds in engine loss of power oil burning smells occasionally. I was told each time they put on computer n nothing wrong. I bought new at 11/2014 now oil lights engine lights flashing on irrationally car consuming oil no leaks just eating iol now 2-3 qts in 2 months knocking getting louder but quiets some after oil change but loss of power and knocking persists. Oil is scary how much it's consumes I have been complains of this issue for first oil change. Was told by dealer no need to change oil more than 2x per year but I still do regularly 3-4,000 or 3 months. I feel damage has been done to car and I am seeking new engine replacement. Dealers never did identify issue said no codes going off. But I noticed it from beginning. Once this year oil was changed I took to get oil done and they said oil was almost empty. I never got oil light. Then nor engine light. The engine light when on the day I took in for oil change. They said the engine could have ceased. I strongly feel I have kept up w maintenance but I feel I got a bad car from the start only to be dismissed each time I complained to dealer. Also there seems to be an electrical issue blows light bulbs constantly and had motor in window replace w stater under warranty most driving is local but many hwy.

I have had to replace my catalytic converter twice within the last year due to engine failure which is causing the catalytic converter to become clogged. The second time this happened, I was driving on the freeway and my vehicle began to lose power on an uphill portion of a bridge. The vehicle then stalled, forcing me to pull over on a narrow shoulder. After being towed to safety by the chp, I had the vehicle towed to my mechanic who informed me that the engine is burning huge amounts of oil which in turn is causing the catalytic converter to become clogged. My mechanic informed me that I would need to replace the engine to solve the underlying problem, as there is clearly engine damage causing the exhaust to contain large amounts of soot and unburned oil. I have maintained this vehicle fastidiously, and the vehicle has just under 150,000 miles on the odometer.

In may 2019 I had a repair done due to a recall on the catalytic converter in October 2020 barely 1 1/2 years later the catalytic converter went out again. As it was out of warranty 1yr it wasn't covered. I had it replaced at my cost a part that should have lasted 10plus years only to have my car stall as I was driving to work not even a month later. I had it towed directly to kia dealership where it is still currently. They said the engine is bad and needs to be replaced. Kia states that good will doesn't extend the engine replacement due to the fact that the catalytic converter was out of warranty. This vehicle stopped in the middle of the highway with lights flashing and a rumbling of the car; thankfully I was able to restart it and move over so that we weren't hit as my daughter was in the vehicle with me. I have had to change coils, spark plugs have multiple cans of oil available as it burned through oil in between oil changes as though there was a leak. No light ever indicated that it was low we just had to continuously check it for oil and it would usually be more than 1 quart low. These problems all stared after the supposed fix in may 2019. This vehicle is a safety hazard and should be recalled completely.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v750000 (engine) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle loss motive power and hesitated to accelerator above 50 mph. The vehicle was taken to kia country of charleston (2361 savannah hwy, charleston, SC 29414 (843) 573-2300) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle had oil consumption failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact managed to drive the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed a second time and determined that the catalytic converter failed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 175,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact stated the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The contact inspected the vehicle and found that the engine was consuming oil prematurely. The contact also found that the catalytic converter was overheating due to the premature oil consumption. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic retrieved failure code: p0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold. The manufacture was contacted and informed of the failure. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 19v120000 (engine, engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 106,000.

The engine in my 2014 kia Soul + began knocking while I was driving on a highway. Within seconds of hearing the knocking, I was unable to drive the car and the car dangerously slowed doown on a highway with fast moving vehicles. I pulled over to the shoulder to find my oil had burned and my engine would no longer start. My oil was changed exactly 7 days before the oil was complelty burned out of the oil tank. There was no indication that there was a problem until my cars engine was no longer able to turn over due to lack of oil. Aaa came to pick me up on the side of the road and drove my car 60 miles to my mechanic before a kia dealership could take it. My car is now at kia, and they are refusing to replace my engine. There has been many complaints about this engine in this specific type of car. I am hoping that kia will admit to the engine and oil tank being faulty and replace mine free of charge. There should be a recall on these engines and the manufacturer should pay for the damages.

My daughter was driving her 2014 kia Soul 2. 0 gdi home from work this afternoon when she said without warning the engine hesitated then started knocking, she made it home but at great risk to her safety. I checked the oil and it did not show on the stick. I had to add 3. 5 qts. Engine continues to knock very loudly and has no power. Oil was changed only two months ago. There are no visible leaks and there is every indication that the engine has burned the oil. After doing some research I see that there has been numerous recalls for kia engines because of engine failure and oil buring. I don't understand why this particular engine has not been recalled? how many complaints does it take? now she has a undrivable car that is also not paid for. Warranty has also expired.

My car burns oil bad. I have to put oil in it every 1500. Miles. It has cut off on many occasions, very dangerous. The check engine light comes on often when it gets low on oil, never the oil light. The car has 124,000. Miles on it, it scares me every day. I travel alot about 225. Miles a week. Is there any help ?? thanks kathy thomas 178 wells street apt. 1 greenfield MA. )1301.

Whenever I start up my car, the engine seems to knock. I took it to the kia dealership 3 times and they insisted I just needed an oil change. I finally took it to a mechanic in my neighborhood who finally told me that I have an oil consumption issue. When I went back to the dealership, they refuse to fix it because their is not a recall on these vehicles. I have children and it is very dangerous for them to be in a defective vehicle and not know when it's finally gonna give out. Please recall these vehicles immediately!!.

I first started noticing that my vehicle was burning oil faster than normal in Aug. 2018. I took it to midas to get my oil change and explained to them that my car was burning or leaking oil because I had to put more oil in my car. However there is no leaking no where. Midas told me to come in sooner for my oil change and that's what I did. Then in late part of 2019 and earlier 2020 I will be driving and my car would stall and act like it is going to shut off. In June 2020 I was driving on the highway and the car started slowing down and losing power. I pulled over and waited a little bit. I thank god I wasn't in an accident. My engine then started knocking once I got home and check engine light came on. The code was my O2 sensor. I got that replaced but my engine kept knocking. So I took it to fort wayne kia be a two repair shops stated that it something wrong with the engine, and kia dealership said it wasn't my engine knocking it was the catalytic converter that is bad and causing the knocking/noise. But that's part of my exhaust system and have nothing to do with the noise coming from my engine, and burning oil. Of course that piece supposedly isn't covered under my warranty. Kia said it was going to cost over $2000 to replace the part but never explained why my car is burning oil so quickly. I have purchased this vehicle brand new thinking I wouldn't have the same issues that come with buying a used car but nope. I need my vehicle to get around and work. Why isn't kia understanding that in the 2014 kia Soul + 2. 0 liter there is a major malfunction that needs to be fixed.

Car wasn't getting power to go up hills or accelerate on highway, and burning thourgh oil. Took it to kia dealer ship and was told catalyst converter needs to be replaced. There seems to be a lot of the same model cars having the same exact problems as me.

My kia Soul 2014 since March has been consuming enormous amount of oil had it checked no leaks. I had the oil changed on Feb 28th 2020 and then by the end of March nothing on the dip stick had to put 3 more courts in, not even 4000 miles. Took it in to change the oil two days later, the next day April 1st went to maryland checked oil when we came back, down just a little. Checked again two weeks later down half and put oil in. On may 2nd checked the oil before my husband went to asheville for work and no oil on the dip stick added oil and took to kia on the 4th. Started a oil consumption test on may 4th by may 11th was half way in between low and full so I went to kia and they topped it off. They also said it is a know issue but no recall and they have three vehicles in the shop right now waiting for new engines. They could quote me on an engine or I would just have to keep adding oil. It is shameful that they now about this issue but will not correct it.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact stated that his engine consumed excessive amounts of oil without warning, while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that he would add at least 16 oz of oil into the engine every 500 miles. The contact had taken the vehicle to kia of old saybrook (275 middlesex Ave, old saybrook, CT 06475) where he initially believed that the oil failure was due to NHTSA campaign number: 20v750000 (engine) however, the dealer informed him that the excessive oil consumption was not related to the recall. The dealer also informed him that they would perform an oil consumption test which confirmed that the engine was consuming excessive amounts of oil however, since the vehicle was not under recall, the dealer offered no further assistance. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and informed him that the VIN was not subjected to a recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

After multiple attempts at the shop, the kia has been burning oil. There is no smoke or leaks. A compression test was not done at the original inspection of the car, and there is no oil in the car after about 500 miles. This engine has been burning oil since 85000 miles and there is "nothing" that kia can do for our issue. Thus, in line with other complaints about this issue there should be something done for the engine replacement. This is a known issue for the other engines, but the 2. 0l engine is not under recall. . . . Yet. This is a very serious issue and a general consumer should not have to monitor oil consumption of an engine at 60-80k miles. There is something wrong with the engines and it could be a real concern for safety.

Engine burning oil. No signs of leakage or "blue smoke". Usually have to put in between 3 and 5 quarts of oil between oil changes. Kia won't fix the problem, even though there have been many other complaints about this issue. I bought the car used, didn't know it had an issue. Oil got dangerously low within 30 days of owning the car. That's when I found out it was burning oil. It has 11,0000 miles on it as of this compliant. Issues started for me at around 100,000 miles. When I took the car into the kia dealer, they said that the previous owner had brought it in to have an oil consumption test done. Kia dealer said engine needs to be replaced.

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?.

Noticed after getting an oil change not even a month later the car was low on oil. Complained to kia dealership that they didn't fill my oil up when I got an oil change. Brought it back in for a top off and it did the same thing again. Monitored the oil consumption for 2-3 months coming to the conclusion that it was burning 2quarts every 2 weeks. I have documentation where I have gotten the oil topped off every other week.

My car has been burning oil in an abnormal rate. It begin at the beginning of 2020. I always took my car for recommend maintenance to the kia of carson in California. Now about every month I have to top off the oil. An estimate of less than 600 miles per month. Sometimes when I am at a light the car will shake a bit. Also if I use the ac the car will shake a bit as well it did not do that before. If am driving I don't feel that shakes. The first time that I noticed something was going on I was at stop light and my car shaked and felt like it was going to turn off. After that it shakes if am too long at a light but not too hard.

My car is losing oil somewhere. Checked no leaks. Oil changed regularly and on time. Oil dip stick shows one quart low refilled. Drove car approximately 6 miles and light started flashing quickly. Parked checked oil and is once again low. No burnt oil smell but it has to be going somewhere.

My kia Soul is burning oil every 1,000 excessively. Kia says it isn't burning that much. My dealer thinks it is. My car had the oil light come on in December. Received an oil change. February comes to start my consumption tests. My dipstick reads low level. I started 3 tests and they all 3 came up with different readings but burning oil at a rapid rate. I did testing each 1,000 miles. The 2nd test my car burnt a quart. I do think my car is burning at a rapid rate. It is a 2014 kia Soul with 94,000 miles. I bought brand new, only owner is me from my dealership.

Been getting regular oil changes on track. And on time. Last 2 oil changes I been noticing oil levels dropping low after 1000 to 1500 miles driven. No leaks no burning smell. Engine would be burning the oil. Twice kia never noticed anything wrong. Now driving down highway engine light came on. Heard klacking aound and slowed down. Car lost acceleration for 5 minutes. After pulling out the highway it started sputtering acting like it was going to stall out like it had low oil. Again it was low. Added oil. This was after 800 miles driving. Still no leaks. Towed it to kia garden grove California. They said I needed new engine. Oil filter had metal shavings said it Sould be already in engine. Quoted me 12k. Car is 2014 and has 115k miles. It's worth 6k. Looking at everyone's else CO plained you can clearly see an oil engine problem that might produce fires or engine breaking. Possible lubrication issue around 75k miles and on. There should be a recall on the engine.

On 05/07/2019, I took my car to joe myers kia for a repair in regards to safety recall sc176. My catalytic converter was replaced and my car was returned to me on 05/13/2019. According to safety recall sc176 bullet 4, this recall was to prevent excessive exhaust temperatures, which could cause damage to the piston connection rod. Damage to this rod could puncture the engine block, allowing oil to escape and potentially contact a hot exhaust surface. Weeks after my car was repairs I noticed that my car was now burning oil at an excessive rate, and I was now replacing oil every 1,000 to 1500 miles. This issue continued from June through October. I had the car examined for oil leaks, but none could be found. After my 10/06/2019 oil and general service, it was suggested that there's a chance that oil was getting into the engine block. On 12/05/2019, my engine began to misfire and knock loudly while traveling on the highway at 70 mph. After getting the car off of the highway and into a gas station I checked the dip stick. It indicated that the engine did not have any oil in it, but the oil light never came on. I also had an oil service in October and had not done much driving since then. On 12/07/19 I towed my car to my mechanic and after examination informed me that pistons 3 and 4 were misfiring and were damaged. I contacted joe myers kia, as they were the ones that recently repaired my car under recall sc176, and was instructed to bring the car to the nearest kia dealership for examination. On 12/10/19 I towed the car to fredy kia for an engine diagnosis and following day I received a call notifying me that my 1. 6l engine threw a piston rod and I would have to get the engine replaced. The Soul only has 109,775 miles on it, is serviced regularly, and barely averages over 12,000 miles annually.

The engine died with no warning on the highway. Had to be towed to mechanic, where they found there was no oil in the engine, but no oil leak. Must now replace entire engine or buy a new car. Car has had regular oil changes (died on a Thursday, next oil change had been scheduled for Saturday) and an extra quart of oil was added 2 weeks prior to engine failure due to low oil levels (we chalked this up to extra driving for vacation). Mechanic found no leak at previous oil changes. As stated by other owners with this problem, it seems like something in the engine is malfunctioning causing oil to burn off and the engine to overheat and die. The car was very hot/burn smelling when I got it off the road, to the point where I was afraid to sit in it for fear of explosion. My mechanic agrees this is a kia malfunction and has agreed to keep my engine in storage for further claim investigation. As kia has a history or catching fire, I believe this issue is worthy of an investigation and recall. Please help!.

The car first started having problems and September of 2019 was told it needed a catalyst converter. The converter was replaced in March of 2020 the car was driving fine now it's burning oil already at 2,000 miles it needs a oil change the engine lights on I'm going to take it to firestone to see why the engine lights on and see what their diagnosis is but I've been trying to get kia to replace my engine because I have payed for the extended warranty the last time I took it up there they told me that the engine didn't need to be replaced so I'll get back on here with an update once I get the next diagnosis for the vehicle.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 19v120000 (engine, engine and engine cooling); however, the failure continued after the recall was remedied. While driving various speeds, the oil and check engine indicators illuminated. The contact took the vehicle back to archer kia (11614 southwest fwy, houston, TX 77031, (888) 879-5194) and was informed that oil had been burning inside the engine. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 70,000.

The motor blew and oil light came on without any warning ! in motion on. Highway . The oil had just been changed less then a month prior to that . Diagnostics showed oil had been burnt up causing rod failure and motor !.

3/10/19 vehicle showed fluttering engine light while driving on residential street (35 mph). Checked, found was 3 qts low on oil at 1 week after oil change when vehicle has shown no noticeable oil consumption previously. Maintenance records show on schedule or better since purchase. Dealer states internal engine damage @84,526 miles - symptoms match recall 19v-120, including obdii code & catalytic conv, but is denied by manufacturer until the possibility of legal action & media coverage is brought up. Is now being 'reviewed' by manufacturer, while no usual dealer assistance - most especially 'loaner' vehicle - is provided. Important: as stated in the NHTSA safety report, kia does not produce vins sequentially, thus the usual manufacturer's VIN database method appears ineffective - a VIN search turns up no recall for this vehicle, including previous ones it has been serviced for, a result reported by other kia owners spoken to while waiting at the dealer's service center. This may be the reason for the widespread issues with recall denial.

My car started burning oil so fast I had to get a oil change in just 2 weeks after getting one. There was no oil leak, and the car did not overheat. There was no exhaust smoke. If there was it was barely noticeable. A mechanic determined one of the pistons was damaged and could lead to damage to my engine block. I called a kia dealership to see about recalls on my vehicle and they said all of mine were up to date I did more digging and found a recal (number (19v120000) and it matched perfectly with what my mechanic said was happening to my car. They went by my VIN number and said there were no recalls on my car. My car will not keep oil for very long. A regular 7,000 mile oil change only lasts 2 weeks. I use full synthetic high mileage penzoil.

No incident yet, but vehicle burns at least a quart of oil per week. The car has just over 80,000 miles.

Engine was burning in the inside had to return to jiffy lube every 3to4 days to cap off oil dip stick was burnt and engine cap had burned up. Kia of elmhurst sold me a car with bad rotary front and rear the brake pedal rubber fell off was driving almost had an accident foot slide off the brake look down and the rubber protector was off took it back to service and but it back on and a week later it fell off again.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact stated that while traveling at various speeds, his oil was burning excessively without warning. The contact took the vehicle to russ darrow kia of madison 6525 odana rd, madison, WI 53719 , where the vehicle was repaired under NHTSA campaign number: 19v120000(engine, engine and engine cooling) ; however,the failure persisted. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. Jo.
