general problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Soul - part 2

1. I experienced this twice now. Driving down an ally the vehicle turned off on me. The second time I was parked ran into my house came out and it was off. Luckily I wasn't on the highway at the time of this happening. Also in somehow lock my keys in the vehicle when I came out to grab something from the trunk . 2. You'd think a 2015 vehicle wouldn't let you do that especially with the keyless entry. 3. Also I'm noticing a vibration in the idle when sitting parked with the engine on. 4. While in cruise control I noticed that the car does not stay at a consistent speed especially going up and down hills. The vehicle loses speed within a 10 to 20 mile per hour range.

I brought my vehicle up to benson kia to get recalls repaired on my 2015 kia Soul. There were issues with the catalytic converter due to a recall and I was informed by the servicing station at benson kia that the issue was resolved. There is a rattling noise that is coming from the vehicle. Before I drove my vehicle off the lot the ratting noise was still present. I asked them to look at the vehicle before I drove off the lot. The mechanic brent looked at the vehicle and told me that it is the resonator making the noise and it is from a build up of gas fumes from the exhaust. I was then informed that the resistor falls out of warranty. Prior to getting the recalls repaired I never heard the noise. The dealership is not wanting to fix the issue that was caused by them changing the catalytic converter and told me that they no longer help me as their me chi sonics have done all that they could and they refused service on my vehicle. They then proceeded to inform me to go to a different kia dealership to have them look at the vehicle. The dealership is approximately 30 minutes away from me and I am unable to get the vehicle to the shop.

When turning on the ignition nothing happens. The dash lights go on but the car doesn't start. After a few tries it will start. Sometimes a short hesitation, other times it will take several tries. I have a new battery.

I was driving down chuckanut drive. Windy road, I came to a corner going 15 mph then it felt like the engine turned off. So I pullled over to see. When I stopped the engine was still on so I put it in park turned the car off and opened hood checked oil everything seemed fine start driving again I noticed it was very touchy on gas pedal you couldn't really accelerate. I get like 2 miles down the accelerator stopped then it just had the worst noise coming from engine and the dash light said oil was blinking ! I couldn't go any further! I sat there for a couple hours finally got a hold of cab company that brought me oil I put it in and still the worst sounding noise coming from engine. My friend came and got me and my car is still on chuckanut! as we speak I'm trying to figure out what to do next chuckanut is on highway 11 in wshington state the car was in motion and now is parked on pullout on chuckanut drive.

Ever since I replaced ed my battery 1/30/2020 I am having intermittent starting issues, I have taken the car to the dealer on several occasions and they are not able to find the issue. Online there are many forums with hundreds of people with the same issue. Kia does not acknowledge any recalls or issues but yet we are all dealing with cats that won't start.

My 2015 kia Soul base mt is having trouble starting the key won't turn over the ignition. Or the ignition will turn and get stuck to where you can just pull the key out.

While getting ready for a 160 miles trip, a friend of mine check the engine oil and for our surprise it was off stick. . No oil but the light on the dashboard never got on as a warning. I took it to walmart and yes, they made the oil change with the note on papers that it had little oil only. . . Why this happened on a kia Soul 2015 with almost 50,000 miles?. . I don't understand and what might happened if I were going into the 160 miles trip without oil?. . Very risky. . I think.

I took my 2015 kia Soul to miami lakes kia twice in December 2019, to check a clicking noise when turning both left and right, more consistently when turning right. I'm not sure but I have an inkling that this noise may be related to a problem with the steering column, cv joints or the axle. When I picked up my car the 1st time, as I made a right turn, I heard the same clicking noise. I called service and let them know that I still heard the noise. I returned my car a week later and took a test ride with two technicians, one technician informed me that the �the noise needed to be louder� for them to repair it. His claim seems unreasonable, especially since everyone who rides in my car hears the clicking noise, and there is obviously a mechanical issue with the car's steering or something related. I had my car checked at tires plus, the clicking noise was duplicated on the test drive and the mechanic informed me that this is a �recall� issue and to take my car to the dealer. Also, on February 21, 2020, the car battery that I purchased on July 31, 2018, died. This battery did not last 18 months (36 month warranty).

For over a year, I've had the engine light illuminate a dozen times and everytime I've had to visit my dealership to have the system scanned and always reports error code: p050a. I've been told by the shop that kia is aware of the issue and no fix is available at this time. Having to constantly go back to the dealership shop for an error on kias part is rediculous and has cost way too much of my time and added mileage. A year of the same story, "awaiting a fix" and no updates, timetable or sign that kia actually cares and is working on a resolution. Not sure what their engineers do all day but this is rediculous.

The car computer is not registering the correct gear the car is placed into, thus causing the car to bypass critical safety features. The car's power train, electric systems, and fuel systems fail intermittently as a result of failing neutral safety inhibitor. The car reads that the gear is in drive instead of park and will not turn over. Thousands of other kia customers are reporting the same issues since 2010 with no resolution. Dealership service centers have not been able to help the customers because the diagnostic tools do not pick up on this signal failure. The send car owners away saying the vehicle is in great condition only for the car to stall on the highway unexpectedly a few days later. This is dangerous and the customers have been given no option but to drive a vehicle with serious safety issues. Just check out the numerous youtube videos of customers all having the same issues across multiple kia models starting in 2010.

We had a recall so we brought our kia Soul 2015 to be repaired. They had the car for a month . When we got the car back it wasn't the same ,the engine light came on. We called them again they said it was normal and our car was fine. We kept calling them the it wasn't. We were going to nh for a family reunion and bring his daughter back oo. They said that they needed to see the car onnly when the light was on, it always came on at odd times. But they assisted it was fine to go up north, well when we hit mass. The car blew it's engine. They ried to say we had no oil in in, my husband changed the oil before weleft and everything that the recall said would happen did happen. . The car was left in mass at tewksbury kia and kia would not fit the bill. So we have no car since we were in financial stress. I have no car they came and took from us. And I still have to pay even though I had the insurance were something happen it get paid off. So on a main highway our car died in the flow of traffic the scarcest thing in the world. Had to get a hotel, rental loss of work and had to depend on neighbors for a ride to work, I loved our car. Bryan kia in leesburg FL didn't do us right or kia we did our part they didn't , I have the repair bills at home, at work just found this site. Please help us.

Tl- the contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would randomly shut off. Moments later the vehicle could be restarted. Also, on several occasions after the vehicle had been parked the vehicle did not immediately start. In addition an electrical burning odor was present inside the cabin and a hum/clicking sound was audible coming from the dashboard. The battery was replaced but the failures continued to occur. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer sun trip kia(6263 south lumber blvd, st. Louis, mo. ) but the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 54,000. Jft.

Driver side headlight cuts out intermittently while in use. Upon inspection the connection to the bulb socket was found melted and black.

Kia Soul 2015 stalls at highway speeds, service center blames bad battery. Also car strands me by failing to start twenty minutes later it starts fine. I blame electrical system that may have taken out my battery. Bad battery or not, a car should not fail at highway speeds due to a bad or low battery. This is incredibly unsafe at any speed.

I bought this vehicle new (under 3k miles) from the dealer kiefer kia. The very next day I brought the car back as there were obvious problems with it immediately. The car would hesitate, almost as if it were about to die, while driving or even sitting at a light. When I took it in the repair person heard the problem but said "that's normal for a new car". I wanted to reopen the car but they said there were no returns. I came in 2 other times. On the 4th time they finally replaced the computer. It did nothing to fix the problem but from that time I had electrical problems. They denied the electrical problems. 2 more visits they replaced the computer again and some other recall. Both problems continued. I've had to replace the battery more than once a year. It still hesitates but covid happened and now I'm in a wheel chair and have problems getting around so brining it in is even more difficult. I don't trust any more repairs they're doing I just want my money back. I stopped driving it on the highway as I'm to afraid of the engine catching fire with how it eats oil. If I want to go out of town I have to rent a car!.

Car won't start when cold. It happened when it has been sitting for longer periods of time over 3 or 4 hours. Can be jumped to start ,and if I charge it over night it will start 2 or 3 times but will then not start. When trying to start it makes a series of clicks and the instrument cluster will flicker. It began the winter of 2018 and was fine all spring, summer and fall. Now that it's getting colder again it is back to not wanting to start.

The lights go out when I turn my turn single on or when I switch from low beams to high beams. It happens standing still or moving. It started awhile ago don't know the month it was sometime last year.

The contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. The contact stated that the driver's side head lamp assembly pigtail failed to function as the driver's side low beam lights were shorting and began to flicker. The contact had to maneuver the headlight switch to get the lights to remain illuminated; however, they continued to flicker and short without warning. The vehicle was taken to classic kia (902 walton dr, texarkana, TX 75503, (903) 793-4623) who replaced the bulb. Within a week, the driver's side light failed to illuminate again. Classic kia was contacted again and was unable to supply the part. The lights continued to flicker. The vehicle was then taken to crown kia (2001 w loop 281, longview, TX 75604, (903) 759-4667) who was able to supply the pigtail and light, which was replaced on the driver's side a second time.

The vehicle stibility control light comes on when it want , which is the part of the (abs). The vehicle has been several times to resolve the problem with no luck. The light will go off when you turn off the vehicle. I do also hear a clicking noise from th driver side rear brake for couple of feet but went away. No codes present at all a cording to the dealership when they checked. Doe to the photos which my wife and I have taken during the problem the dealership decided to check the auto. The wife and I have waited several hrs. At the dealership, but still no luck for the light or the clicking sound to come on. The wife and I are very unsatisfied with the results at this time. It seems like (replace the abs) control model should eliminate the problrm.

You crank the car the doors lock. You lose electric power you can't open the doors!! no way to get out of car!! was lucky one window was down!!all doors need to be able to open with out power< what if on fire or in water?? the car was setting in parking lot of walmart listing to radio and the bat ran down!!.

My kia Soul electronic door locks operate in a random and dangerous fashion. I unlocked the car and put my puppy in the vehicle and closed the door not knowing that my keys were still in the car; all the doors immediately locked and I had to break the window to save the dog. Other times one or two doors will lock. The delay in locking is random and unreliable. Car was in parking lot. This system should be disabled until kia reviews operation of the system. There should be a consistent time delay before doors lock. This is a safety issue.

Chronic dead car. Battery tests fine, no draws and was replaced to ensure failures were not the battery. 30 days out of service to date. Dealer/manufacturer cannot diagnose issue. There have been noises from fuse box under hood while car is dead. Clicking noises inside car, when car is dead.

The contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. When the accelerator pedal was depressed at approximately 30 mph, the vehicle lost power without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, but the failure was unable to be determined. The contact mentioned that the failure recurred several times. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,600.
