Check Engine Light On problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Soul

Was driving the vehicle everything was normal all of a sudden the it began to smell like it was overheating. Then car started to lose power an stalled out. I pulled over let it set for a good 30 mins. I checked all the fluids everything was great. So I started the vehicle which was hesitant began driving did great for about 15 mins. And the same smell plus some other sounds crazy but egg smell occurred and I pulled over about 4 mins after I began to notice it was running strange. The check engine light came on an now this vehicle misses and does not run correctly. I check the fluids and tires every Monday and Thursday. I went to have the codes for the check engine light that came on after the incident happened. It gave me several issues that wasnt there at all before whatever happened happened.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate and stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was driven to classic kia (3875 eastex fwy, beaumont, TX 77706) however, the mechanic was unable to diagnose the vehicle due to an inoperable computer system. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that the computer system was down, but no further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was unknown.

When I hit about 65k on the vehicle the check engine light would come on. Each time this happens it's because there is no oil in the engine. I also notice the light comes on apprx. 1k before the car is scheduled for a oil change? there is no warning that I am low on oil until the engine light comes on. I'm afraid I'm headed for big trouble with this engine!.

When at complete stop idling is very rough and engine will cut off. When accelerating from a complete stop shifting is very delayed and hard, once gear shifts then it accelerates too fast at once. When makes a left turn from stop light check engine light came on and code was p0420 about catalytic converter.

Vehicle out of nowhere while driving on expressway started to decelerate I immediately pulled over safely and noticed the lights on my dashboard were illuminated check engine light and engine oil light. I took vehicle to havoline oil express and they checked my codes changed spark plugs and ignition coils but car still sputters and power is low lights are dim I have it now at a kia dealership because I believe it to be the engine or something in the powertrain. Nothing like this has ever happened to the vehicle since I've purchased it.

I got a recall notice letter from kia regarding my kia Soul. I took it in and they supposedly repaired the catalytic converter. Starting in August 2020, my check engine light came on. Brought it to the dealer who supposedly fixed it and they said it was indeed the catalytic converter. They put in a request to have it fixed only for corporate to decline saying it was no longer in warranty and has it escalated to the higher ups of corporate. I spoke to melissa on September 21, 2020 around 3:45-4:00 p. M. Eastern time for her to tell me they had already repaired once at good will at the dealer and a second time will be declined. However, I explained a catalytic converter should be good for up to 10 years and this particular vehicle had a recall that again failed. Upon reading about the recall, I know it can cause a fire if not repaired. I do not believe they fixed the recall/or that the recall part was a defective one. Please help me with getting kia to resolve this issue. The date below is an approximate date.

Check engine light came on this morning. Auto parts store ran the code, we were informed it was just the gas cap. Tightened the gas cap, and they reset the code. About 3 hours later the oil light started flashing, we promptly added more oil. Several hours later we were going to lunch and the engine is knocking very loudly. Vehicle is not running properly, and we were told it sounds like a rod or bearing.

Car make and model- kia Soul 1. 6 2015 on or around 07/05/2019, a check engine light came on the car dashboard, I called cherry hill kia in new jersey and was asked to bring the car in for an sc176 ecu upgrade. In less than a year after the upgrade the same check engine light came on again and cherry hill kia diagnosed p0420 code which is related to the same issue from last year's recall with NHTSA recall bulletin reference number-19v120000.

I was driving home on the highway at full speed (65 mph) when all of a sudden my 2015 kia Soul + stalled and the check engine light started to flash and then smoke started pouring out. . . . I lost all power but made it to the break down lane and turned the car off. The car started to fill up with smoke and I saw flames coming out from under the hood so I tried to get as much stuff out of my car as I could before the flames got too big and before I knew it the whole car was fully engulfed by fire.

There was a recall, took it to a local dealer in rocky mount nc. Was told it needed catalytic converter replaced. Kia had it fixed. About two months later check engine light began flashing and car would not accelerate pass 60. Again I took it to the dealership in rocky mount nc. Was told they didn't know what the codes were,and that they could reset the computer. After doing so I relocated to high point nc and upon arrival, it began to do the same. My car has now been at the dealership here in high point over a month. They just called stating my engine was blown. That it would cost 3633. 94 for an engine. Kia would pay half. Labor would be 2399 and that's all on me. I still owe 8 grand and dont have that kind of money. Thoughts?.

At the end of February 2020 my vehicle would not accelerate over 40 mph. The vehicle was taken to the local kia dealer for repairs. Reportedly the issue was related to the catalytic converter and value purge control, both where replaced. In June the vehicle was taken in for an oil change, but the technician recommended it be returned to the dealer due to metal shavings seen in the tank. Kia recently issued a warning about changing the oil as recommended. The vehicle has been properly maintained, yet the oil seems to evaporate after 1200 miles. This is problematic and hazardous because the check engine light has never illuminated with any of the noted issues.

I was already planning on getting my oil changed on the first of February, even though I still had a few hundred miles left. But the day before, my oil light kept flashing on and off. Mostly when it was idling. I checked my oil levels mid day during lunch, and all seemed okay. Well I was driving 3 miles from my house to church Friday night, January 31, and as I was driving, just getting up to about 50-55 mph, I heard a loud bang and felt my car jolt. Made it safely to the side of the road and called a tow truck. After the jolt, my battery light came on. Never saw a check engine light. The tow truck driver was not able to start the car and told me that my oil was low. The following day when my dealership checked through everything, they told me that my engine had seized and I need to get a new engine. This seems to be a reoccurring problem with this car year and model. I have a little under 110,000 miles.

My check engine light came on and it was diagnosed to be an issue with the catalytic converter. There is a recall for my year and make of kia (reference number sc176) and I would like assistance to repair it.

Driving on the highway, the engine started ticking and within seconds without any warning lights on the dashboard, the car lost all its engine. Had to pull off the highway and be towed to local dealership. Upon arrival to the dealership, car was inspected by a technician who started my car in the parking lot, was surprised 1. It started 2. No check engine light and/or oil pressure light was on the dashboard display. Car has been well maintained with regular full synthetic oil changes - have proof of regular maintenance.

During the time of purchase, around November of 2018, for the vehicle at a kia dealership, I informed the seller to check for any recalls that will need to be addressed before purchase. However, the seller mentioned to be that recalls were checked, and I didn't bother to get a written statement from the seller because I guess I was too anxious to drive the car. I was informed via outside sources and google of a recall for this vehicle, relating to the catalyst system. Having no check engine light and in may of 2019, I decided to take my vehicle to the kia dealer to have the recall addressed (see invoice statement attached). The dealer completed the recall and returned my vehicle to me. I drove the vehicle for many miles as an uber driver partner, after the completed recall. In October of 2019, the vehicle's check engine light illuminated while driving. I immediately took it to an auto parts store to scan the code. The scan data displayed the code p0420, catalyst system operating below minimum threshold bank 1. The current milage is 93, 700, and is running fine. I am concerned about the code in proportion to the recall that is in bulletin. I don't want to take it to the dealer without first checking my options with the NHTSA. Please advise, I appreciate your business. Thank you.

No warning. No check engine light. Vehicle lost power. Dealer reported plugged exhaust. Occured while driving from home to get on highway. I am the original car owner. Unsupported in efforts to get warrantied. The 1. 6 vs 2. 0 liter was recalled. Clearly a issue. . . .

Takata recall: 2015 kia Soul 2. 0 engine seized, I was driving at freeway speeds on an inclined when vehicle dropped in speed from 60 mph to completely shut down while on a busy highway, (while on incline you could hear a loud clink clink clink coming from under hood of vehicle). Vehicle was partially blocking slow lane and emergency lanes. No check engine lights came on when vehicle shut down.

My car started making a �bubbling� noise from under the hood when I accelerated. I took it to the kia dealership they connected it to the computer no codes thrown. Told me nothings wrong. On Wednesday 11/7/18 the bubbling noise was vety loud, then a check engine light came on. Took it to kia dealership they didn't have time to look at it. Took it to autozone they connected it, it was throwing p0014. I told kia what code it was throwing they told me it was okay to keep driving it till Friday when they could look at it. Thursday 11/8/18 morning I drove 6. 2 miles before the check engine light shut off and the loud knocking in the engine started. Trailered Soul into dealership they told me it dropped a valve but the head was fine. They said it was throwing the p0014 code with no check engine light on, but the ocv was working per kia mechanic.

8/31/18 my oil light started flickering, acceleration slowed down, almost chugging on interstate 65 north. A 35 minute drive took me a hour and a half because there is no other way to get home but the interstate. 9/1/18 I started the car, drove it a couple miles, going to the dealer, it started knocking, almost stalling, oil light flickering and then died in the middle of the road. Had it towed to kia of rivergate. 9/5/18 they ask for all my oil change receipts, which I don't have because I get them where ever I have a coupon for. (I am currently trying to back track and get the records) mac, at the dealership) tells me there is "sludge" and this only happens when the maintenance was not done. There was never any problems with the car, when oil changes were done everything checked out every time, no indications about oil, no check engine light, nothing and then this happens without warning. Help!!.

2015 kia Soul sputtered when going from first gear, to second gear and then third. Cw also, the check engine light illuminated on the dashboard. A diagnostics revealed, the vehicle was not firing on all four cylinders and that was the reason the vehicle seemed sluggish. The engine cover was removed and it was discovered all the cylinders were not connected.
