Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2014 Kia Motor Soul

Been leaking oil and the engine shutting down and not starting after this. I get my oil chaged every 3,000 miles and I have to keep a check on the oil and add oil every couple weeks due to the oil leak. I noticed that others owners have had this problem with the same make and model of there kia Souls and had to have there engie replaced.

The contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact stated that the vehicle was at tom dolan's reno kia (9455 s virginia st, reno, nv 89511) to replace the catalytic converter and two recall repairs. The contact stated that when he was driving the vehicle home, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken back to the kia dealer where the failure was diagnosed as an oil leak. The contact stated that he received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 20v750000 (engine) however, the dealer informed him the failure was not related and that the repair was not covered under the recall. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The contact had not yet informed the manufacturer of the failure. The failure mileage was 136,972. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

On Tuesday, December 15, 2020, while driving on a highway, we experienced a sudden leakage of engine oil and significant smoking from the vehicle. Over 3 qts of oil had leaked for the engine into the pan underlying the engine for no apparent reason. Kia has just issued a recall on this vehicle presumably because of this well known engine fire issue and related class actions, however will not do anything to address the issue until thy send letters out in over 60 days.

Catalytic converters has gone bad over 350k kias have been recalled for the same reason. My group of engines is not included in the recall, thousands of people have the same problem. Why is NHTSA not doing anything? I have no oil leaks, constantly having to put oil into the vehicle. I lost power on a 75 mph freeway kia is being no help, a wider recall needs to be done on this vehicle this is a bigger problem for consumers than they are covering.

After owning and driving car for 2 years started losing power and developed a knock to motor. Always did routine oil change and maintenance at dealer with documents. Was told last oil change it was over qrt low on oil but no oil leak detected. Now knocking has gotten worse and only 60000 miles on it! need to expand the recall to include all affected engines! very bad design!.

Was driving the car at normal speeds with no prior issues, engine seized up. Required flooring to achieve 25 mph. Stalled repeatedly. Took to shop and engine destroyed, no oil found with no prior leaks and regular changes. No prior engine trouble/history. Car has 68,000 miles.

The oil from the engine has been disappearing ever since the car got over 100k miles. It is currently at 116k and has zero oil but there is no leak and it doesn't smell like it is burning. The dealership says it is not covered under the recall and it will cost thousands to repair. This is exactly what is described in the recall notification I got last year though but the dealership said my particular engine is not covered under this recall even though it's the 1. 6l specifically stated in the recall announcement.

Took my car in to have oil changed before it was even due and it didn't even register in the oil dipstick. They changed oil I checked it about 2 weeks later and it was half full, later the next day I checked it and said it was low. I have no oil leaks, so itnis brining oil for no reason. Taking to mechanic this week.

On January 20, 2020 I was driving at about 50 mph on el mirage rd when suddenly the car lost power. I noticed the speed drop and tried pressing the gas to gain power and speed again then I heard a loud pop. I looked in my rearview mirror and there were huge flames and oil splattered on the back window. I quickly got out of my car and the flames in the back were still there but dying down and there was something on fire under the car. I had to use a bottle of juice to put out the fire underneath the car. If I didn't have that juice I'm almost positive the whole car would have caught on fire. I started doing research and saw that kia Soul 2014 had a recall because of the catalytic converter overheating causing the piston rods to break and puncture the engine block causing an oil leak onto the hot exhaust system which causes a fire. The recall number is sc155. This recall supersedes campaigns 14v-332 and 15v-736. I had taken my kia Soul to get a new catalytic converter based off the first recall in November. They must have put another faulty catalytic converter in because this should not have happened. I got the car towed to the rally kia dealership in palmdale, California and it is currently still there. They took 2 days to give me a response on if the car would get fixed with the recall again. They said multiple mechanics had to check it out to see what happened. They said it happened because I didn't put oil in the car which cause a piston rod to break and puncture the engine block, causing an oil leak which cause the fire. They are trying to blame it on me and charge me $6,000 to fix the car. The car caught on fire. I had just put oil in it the night before hence the oil splatter on the back windshield. And the way they described the piston rod breaking and the oil leak is exactly how it is described in the recall. They should be fixing my car with the recall.

Car is losing oil. Right at about the 3 month mark for it's next scheduled oil change, the check engine light will come on. This happened 3 months ago (October 2019) and I immediately changed oil. Just happened again a couple days ago right before it should be changed again. When checking the dipstick, there is no oil on it at all. It has dropped below any measurable amount. The car is garage kept with zero signs on leaking oil. I have not noticed any burning smells or smoke issues. The check engine light came on while driving on a city street less than a mile from home.

January 10th, 2020 my 2014 kia Soul + lost power in acceleration while the vehicle was in motion. The vehicles dash lights only had the check engine, battery and oil light on. The vehicles temperature guage stayed consistently in the middle position at 50%. I had the vehicle towed to my local mechanic. My mechanic explained that the engine had locked up. He also noted the engine had no oil and the oil pan was dry. . . This is impossible. I change my oil religiously every three thousand miles. How is there no oil in the vehicle when I change it regularly? the vehicle only has 117,171 miles. The vehicle was not leaking oil. My driveway, where the vehicle is parked, has no signs of oil leaking. The area where I had the vehicle come to a rolling stop after it broken down, had no signs of oil on the ground. I notice that there are similar complaints on this website that are identical to mine. Please investigate. Vehicles that are only 6 years old should not have their engines lock up.

Driving the vehicle on the highway at 65 mph, there was a loud bang in the engine compartment followed by a loss of power. As the vehicle slowed, the check engine light illuminated, followed by the oil light illuminating. Brought the vehicle to a stop on the shoulder and smoke filled the vehicle. Flames coming from the engine compartment were extinguished with a fire extinguisher. There was a trail of oil behind the car with some pooling underneath. The vehicle was towed to our local dealership for examination: "found broken rod punched hole in block causing oil leak. Oil got on exhaust causing fire. Need to replace lockblock and several other components that caught fire or damaged. " repair estimate with used engine ~$8000. I declined repairs at this time based on research of this problem. This vehicle has the 2. 0l engine and thus was not covered under recall #19v-120.

Losing oil . No signs of leaks or cracks. Routine oil changes are done on it since ive owned it. . . It has bucked a cpl times for me when coming up to a stop. Dealership tells me they cant do anything until I get a check engine light.

My 2014 kia Soul exclaim would not shift gears causing deceleration. I took my car to karp kia where I purchased it. It took karp kia 1 week to replace the catalytic converter. 3 weeks later I brought my car back to the dealer because oil was not staying in the car but leaking onto the engine. Karp kia will not honor my warranty nor my extended warranty because I can't get all of my maintenance records despite the engine recall. I bought the car in 2017 and the car has less than 60000 miles and needs a new engine. I am legally disabled and trying to find a way to make them honor the recall/warranty that they want me to pay for because I don't have all of my oil change receipts. Please help me.

We change our oil regularly with the same shop for years. We noticed the oil light started appearing faster than usual and well under the 3000 mile sticker. We had to change the oil 3 times in one month. The second time we asked them to check for leaks or filter. They said there was no leak and filter was clean. We took ut to an auto shop and was told it was the engine. Specifically the piston and he recommended a while new engine. Was completely shocked. We just had the car inspected last month with no problems. Please help if possible. We have an appointment with the dealership tomorrow and bought vehicle 3 and a half years ago. We are worried they won't fix it. It only has 92225 miles on it.

My vehicle is having identical issues to NHTSA campaign number: 19v120000 which led to recall sc176 by kia which only covers the 1. 6l models, not the 2. 0l which is the vehicle I drive. We are experiencing a loss of power while driving in all conditions (highway, city streets, etc. ) and gears not shifting at the right times (such as when traveling uphill at highway speeds it will downshift from 6th to 3rd leading to the rpm's spiking into the 5,000 range and the temperature gauge will begin to climb or when taking off from a start it will quickly move from 1st to 2nd to 3rd gear while the vehicle moves very slowly before providing the expected movement [this being with a light press of the pedal])) as well as a loss of oil that my mechanic has been unable to locate the source of. From my research into this issue these symptoms line up with what the affected vehicles experienced before they were recalled. The loss of power and shifting difficulties were first noticed on 9/1/19, while the drop in oil level was first found on 6/16/19 where it has been monitored closely since and a leak was looked for but not able to be found during two separate oil changes since then. I wanted to see if this case could be looked into again to see if the scope of the recall did not cover all vehicles potentially at risk.

My son was coming to a stop due to a car in front of him making a left turn and was at about 5 mph on a 2 lane highway when suddenly the dash lit up like a christmas tree and the car started clicking and knocking and shut off. The oil pressure warning light did not illuminate until every warning light on the dash lit up. Now the bearings are shot. The car has never leaked oil the engine compartment is as clean as it can be. I am glad it did not throw a rod through the block and start a fire.

While driving my vehicle, there was a knock sound under my hood. The vehicle started to slow down and started to smoke. I pulled the vehicle over and cut the engine. I then tried to restart the vehicle and it did not respond. I then had the vehicle towed to the nearest repair shop, where they told me that the rod had pierced through the engine block causing all of the oil to leak from the engine and breaking the starter.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 kia Soul. The contact stated that the engine failed. The contact stated that the engine was consuming oil prematurely which caused the engine to stall without warning. The vehicle was taken to crowley kia (223 broad street, bristol, CT 06010, (860) 589-4444) to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to locate the engine oil leak. The contact stated that the starter was replaced however, the repair did not fix the failure. The vehicle continued to consume oil prematurely and stall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

Vehicle engine shut off without any warning, could not get it to start. Had it towed to local firestone shop where they determined the engine had no oil and needs to be replaced. Its not fair as a vehicle owner that maintans their vehicle regularly to have something like this happen. I didn't get any kind of warning to indicate there was a problem. Vehicle just lost oil without any signs of leaks and no check engine light or oil light to give any kind of warning.

The vehicle hesitated, smoke entered the cabin, and then the engine blew while traveling at speed on a 4 lane highway. Once pulled over there was oil leaking out of the engine and running down the highway.
