Engine Noise problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Soul

One day it was fine, drove to louisville ky from lexington ky and noticed sporadic, weird shifting which seemed very off, shifting at the wrong time I had grown accustomed to for the previous 6 years on the way back home car would not go over 55-60 mph and to try and force it to downshift only made the engine rev extremely high and noisy with no forward motion, car acted as though it wanted to just quit altogether, and from that point on its been bogging down like a giant sat on the hood upon pushing the accelerator to get more speed, and upon backing off 9f the accelerator pedal the loud revving noise eased up and car seemed to recover somewhat until the next acceleration. . . The car has hesitated, engine idle is, for the most part, ok, but 55-60 is as fast as it will go unless going downhill, then I can 65 mph until the next time it needs to go up an incline then it shows to 40-45 with obvious stress trying to maintain a certain speed.

Car loses power while in the middle of driving. I have almost been in multiple accidents. Also the vehicle is burning oil and the engine makes noises. I have the 2. 0l engine and my vehicle is doing the exact same thing that the 1. 6l engine is doing and that is being recalled for these issues. This vehicle is not safe to drive and this is a problem with all 2014 kia Souls regardless of the 1. 6 or 2. 0 engine.

The engine is burning oil and the oil light will not come on. The car can have no oil and the light will not register it at all. Also the car has a problem accelerating. This is so dangerous. There are recalls on the exact thing on the other models of this car. The recalls should extend to all the 2014 kia Soul vehicles due to them all doing the same thing and being unsafe. Car also wants to stall on occasion. I was driving and this happened. Plus the engine makes noise when idle.

Driving the car at 50mph on a roawday on 5-25-2020 and the car made a horrible engine noise, slowed and would not start. It was towed to kia of streetsboro who found the engine failed at 95183 miles. We changed oil constantly at 3-4000 miles and are original owners. Never had a check engine light illuminate. Only issue ever was a warranty claim on a starter that failed. Kia found metal in the oil pan and verified our concerns, installing a remanufactured engine. Approximately 100 miles later, the car stalled at 35 mph and died, the check engine light flashed and we had it towed to waikem kia. They diagnosed a $1500. 00 catalytic converter failure indicating a high amount of carbon build up causing failure. Contacted kia who refuses to accept any cuplability for the cat failure. That's two times where a crash could have happened due to failure of the vehicle on the roadway.

My kia Soul is having identical issues to NHTSA campaign number 19v120000which led to recall sc176 by kia which only covered the 1. 6l models, not the 2. 0l which is the vehicle I drive. I experienced a loss of power and loud knocking type sound while driving. I was traveling approximately 30-35 m/h on a city street. I did not notice a check engine or oil light during this event. I checked my oil level and I had no oil showing on the dip stick. I filled the oil reservoir with the correct oil type and drove home less than a mile. The vehicle would not accelerate as normal. No smoke was noticed coming from the engine. I contacted kia customer service and was given a case number (13392784), and directed to bring the vehicle into the dealership for a diagnostics check. A similar incident occurred one other time where the engine again burned all of the oil, with no signs of a leak on with the engine of the ground where the car is parked. The oil has been monitored regularly since this first incident. The oil has been changed on several occasions and no oil leaks has been noticed. From my research into this issue these symptoms line up with what the affected vehicles experienced before they were recalled. The loss of power, engine noise and shifting difficulties first occurred on October 13, 2019. I asking this case be looked into and see if the scope of the recall did not cover all vehicles potentially at risk. The milage is approximately 74,000 miles.

I was driving, slowing down before a turn, when there was a screeching noise and then the engine shut off. The car has not cranked since. I have tried to jump start it but the battery is not the problem.

Engine started making noise then engine rod went through engine block while on highway traveling approx 60mph. Car stopped and coasted to side of the road while smoke poured from engine. Oil all over road and engine. Towed to dealership. Dealership says it's not related to recall #19v120. Contacted kia customer service. Case rep says it should be covered and they have to contact the district service rep in the area. Dealership refuses to help and keeps trying to sell new engine. District service rep won't give kia customer service any info. They've requested info twice with no response. I keep getting passed to voicemails with no return calls from kia customer service, I've tried email as well.
