Engine Burning Oil problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Soul

The vehicle is burning through oil and now the garage I have taken the car to is saying it will need a new engine soon. Also I have never been notified of the recalls.

My 2015 kia Soul has 71,500 miles on it and has the base 1. 6l engine. Apparently this vehicle has not been recalled yet even though it has the same issues as the other recalled engines regarding burning oil. This car has an ongoing issue with excessive oil consumption between regular 3k mile oil changes. It burns over a quart of oil per 1k miles driven. We have a cpo warranty and extended dealer warranty and we still are unable to get this fixed under the warranty. The dealership is claiming what they've documented is normal oil consumption and they refuse to file a warranty claim. The dealer will not take our word that we've had to put more oil in the car between oil consumption tests and told us we'd have to drive it to the dealer to have them verify the oil level without us putting more in it--therefore drive the car while it has no oil and the dipstick isn't registering it, which is unsafe. We keep getting the run around when this is a known issue with the other 1. 6l engines. Why hasn't this been recalled?.

I've been having trouble with burning oil, significant oil lose in a short time, have already done the oil consumption test, I already had the ksds software update, the car started jerking around and slowed down, lost power, it was finally determined they would replace the engine, before the recall actually started. They put another band aide on the problem and instead of replacing the entire engine, they only replaced the block. I was on a trip and the new fix started to heat up, I could smell burning oil, I pulled over and checked the oil and it was 1 quart low in about 378 miles. I have noticed over the last 1 1/2 years that it gets extremely hot on road trips and looses oil fast. I put oil in because I was so far from home and did not want to be stuck in tennessee. I've been going through this crap for almost 2 years. Now they are saying I have to do the oil consumption test all over again, 4 times! I am worried, frightened and paranoid driving this car knowing it could catch on fire at any moment. I filed complaint back in sept. Or oct. And kia is still fighting on doing the right thing and putting my life in danger every day. It made no sense to me that they would only replace the block when they clearly state in the recall letter that they do not know what is causing the problem. They have not identified the defect but they decide to put my life in danger by just replacing the engine block. I am furious and now they won't fix it without 6 more months of me driving the car and being freaked out. My job is business to business sales so I am in my car all day. Please help me! this is terrifying for me. I am older and have bad knees and constantly worried about being caught in the car in a fire and burning to death! help me please! I'm about to have a nervous breakdown. My recall # is 20v750, my first complaint was 19v120. Please help!!.

It's been burning up oil way too fast. It started with a ticking coming from the motor. I added more oil. And the ticking got worse. Then while driving down the highway there was a loud pop. Something fell off from the bottom of the car. It started smoking then just died on me. Now I'm out a vehicle.

Lost of power . Moter shaking . When accelerating car loses power . Burning oil.

I have a 2015 kia Soul. 2 years ago my check engine light came on had it put on a machine it needed a new catalytic converter and an O2 sensor it was burning oil and smoking. I changed both. 8 months I called kia when there was a recall on the 1. 6 engine because my car was doing exactly what the recall was stating I was informed by kia it wasn't my motor. I was adding 2 quarts of oil a week I was driving down the road and all of a sudden it would not go over 20 mph and started knocking I was taking off from a stop when the engine started knocking. I checked the oil and it was dry and it had oil earlier that day. I received the recall had it towed to bob rohrman kia in lafayette in. The person who worked at the car dealership took it off the tow dolly stated it would not pass the engine test. 2 days later they said it passed the engine test but I need $4600 of work but the engine was ok even though it was burning oil and knocking. I called kia and they said the motor was to be changed no charge to me. Now they are saying it has too many miles and does not qualify for the recall. There was then 140000 on my kia when this all started.

Checked my oil and the dipstick was showing no oil at all, 2 quarts had been added 2 weeks prior. No sign of an oil leak anywhere. 2 days later I started the vehicle and it was idling very hard then died, I waited then started it back up. The engine light came on but it didnt die again. It has since continued to run very rough. This started at about 90,000, oil consumption is ridiculous. There is definitely a problem here, so many people are making complaints as well!!.

2015 kia Soul+ 2. 0 engine. Purchased in 2017 with 24k miles. Began having issues with vehicle at approximately 80k miles. Car began losing oil and I began having oil consumption test done at dealership. Car was losing 1 quart of oil per 1 k miles. Dealership informed me that although maintenance was done as required, they would not replace engine or help since extended warrenty was expired. Driving to work one morning, engine light came on. Vehicle towed 65 miles to dealership. Updated sensor code. Replaced pvc valve. Using 5-30 oil. Still losing oil. This morning, at approx. 92,300, engine light came on again as I was pulling out of my driveway. Very frustrated with costs related to towing. Very frustrated with kia and the dealership since from my research, this is a very real problem with the 2. 0 engines. Can't afford to trade in.

Had knock soft updated. Changed plugs at 82,000 miles. Plugs show oil being burned. Oil goes low. Now leak. Omg. Recall the 2. 0 engine. Have a 2015 and 2016. Both having same problems.

My vehicle has been having issues with the engine for months now. I have had to have parts replaced that clearly are related to the engine , can not drive it after having it towed to the kia dealership . They corrected two recalls , but did not check for problems with my engine. They did a dx test however did not drive it to clearly see it still has same issues as when I brought it in , but worse than before now. My vehicle is part of the campaign 20v750 with code sc200. My vehicle is also burning oil , two times I was told by a mechanic that they are sure it has to do with engine issues. I called them back and addressed my concerns after leaving with it the same problems as before and was treated as if I was making up the issues I am having with the vehicle . Due to I am the 2nd owner they did not want to use my warranty I have on the engine to repair or even check into the engine for problems . Now I am having to wait until the manager comes back to work in two days to get a resolution, I can not afford to keep paying for tow charges for the 2nd time.

Two weeks after receiving a letter from Kia Motors that the expectations of oil maintenance has changed from what it was when I originally purchased my vehicle. I notice that my car burned oil quickly and even accused the dealer of not putting enough oil in my vehicle at oil change intervals but I never seen oil leaks on my drive way. While driving, my vehicle suddenly would not accelerate in mid traffic. Took to the dealer and my catalytic converter needs to be replaced. Come to find out that the oil that I thought was buring was actually getting into my cat. Converter which caused the damage. My vehicle has less than 100k miles. Reported to the kia consumer assistance for recall and after 4 weeks of going back and forth with them on claim number 13810354, their response was that they could not reach me and denied my claim. I have actual dates and time that I have called and reached out to them to get a assistance. I was constantly told that they could not reach their dpsm and ecr to get approval. My case was closed. I find out that other owners are having a similar problem with their kia Souls. Please help. This appears to be a manufacture defect causing the oil to burn and destroying the catalytic converter in these vehicles. My vehicle has been at the bowie Kia Motors service station for 4 weeks while I was waiting on a response from kia consumer assistance. Called kia consumer assistance today and was told of the denial for repair assistance.

2015 kia Soul + has just been checked by our dealership service department for not accelerating and shifting properly. Dealer performed transmission service at 106,768 miles on June 30, 2020, and this did not clear the issues, 2nd service inspectrion on July 1, 2020 resulted in service department saying the issues are with a plugged catalytic converter, which has been a potential contributor to the ongoing NHTSA investigation of all kia Soul models with the 2. 0l nu engine. We also noted excessive oil consumption to the service department on multiple occasions, but they have declined starting an oil consumption test. Neither the dealer nor extended warranty company will cover repairs, and allowed us to leave the dealership with the vehicle in potentially unsafe condition, with no remedy other than us paying for parts and labor to replace the catalytic converter. I want to have my complaint added to the ongoing investigation, and can provide and encourage other kia Soul owners to also add their similar issues,m which are well documented on line in forums and social media.

I purchased my vehicle certified used from enterprise rent a car. A little over 30,000 miles I began having engine oil burn issues in which I was losing engine oil quickly and with no discernible leaks after bringing it to a mechanic. I have learned from researching other complaints online that this is a problem many with this model vehicle are experiencing and that dealerships are often telling consumers who voice their concern that they must not have handled maintenance correctly. I have since been keeping oil on hand to refill my oil somewhat regularly and checking the oil more frequently as this issue apparently may cause an engine to seize with little warning and no oil warning light, as mine does not go off when it otherwise should when I am ridiculously low. The rate of burn is inconsistent and I just had another surprise to that effect and I am worried that while I still owe money on the vehicle I may not be able to afford replacing the engine myself and am interested in why this hasn't resulted in a manufacturer recall?.

2015 kia Soul burning oil, no oil light comes on, vehicle has shut engine off 2 different times while I was driving it. I took to dealership they said they were having trouble with the piston rings failing and oil burning. Did oil consumption test after driving for 900 miles the the dip stick did not register any oil on it. I bought this as a pre owned certified vehicle with about 600 miles on it when I purchased it . The warranty company that warrants kia pre owned vehicles is refusing to cover the the claim. The oil burning problem started around 56,000 miles. The car stopped running while I was driving on two different occasions.

My kia is burning oil and started this hesitation feeling !! my car smells burnt inside and out of the car.

My kia is burning alot of oil !! always smells like its burning even after oil changes and oil filters and my dip stick is burnt I have had to put oil in and no sooner its brown but not leaking on the ground but the exhaust pipe is coated.

After oil change my engine will burn all of its oil up within 2000 miles without any check engine light, warnings or leaks. This occurs when vehicle is in motion. This can result in engine lock up causing incident. I began noticing this issue in June of 2019 and was not sure if the oil filter had become loose or what? I did get under the vehicle and inspect for leaks to find none. Since several oil changes leading up to now the vehicle continues to burn all oil within 2000 miles before nxt oil change. I was also sure to check engine oil after each change to be sure engine oil was in fact full.

2015 kia Soul using about a quart of oil every 2000 miles. Scheduled an appointment with local dealership in hagerstown, MD. Person on the phone said they would perform an oil consumption test. Took it too the dealer and service advisor came out and showed me a sheet with $1300 worth of recommended service work. I asked if they changed the oil and he said they were waiting for kia to call them back. I also explained to the service rep that NHTSA had an open investigation on the 2. 0 liter motor and he acted like he knew nothing about it. I said I didn't want the vehicle to blow up and leave me stranded. The car has only 54000 miles on it. I hope NHTSA moves quickly on this investigation. I feel kia is dragging me and others along hoping they won't have to do a recall as they did with the 1. 6 and 2. 4 motors. There is no way the service advisor did not know about the ongoing issues with these motors. I find it hard to believe kia has not sent internal bulletins to dealerships regarding this issue.

I have a 2015 kia Soul 2. 0l engine. I get all schedule maintenance done, including regular oil changes. I have noticed that oil burns extremely quickly out of the car as if it disappears. I had the conversation with a mechanic at the dealership and they told me it was because of the amount that I drive my car and that they didn't see any problems. I found myself putting oil in my car every 2 weeks or so because the oil would be low. I was getting my oil changed and the mechanic stated that my oil was burning hot and suggested I get my car to a full auto shop. I took the car to my local mechanic and they noticed the same thing but couldn't find anything wrong. A week or so later, I'm driving on a city street going about 45 in a 50. I pressed the gas to accelerate so that I could change lanes and my car immediately lost power and dropped down to 20mph. I immediately turned on my hazards and tried to change lanes. My engine began to jerk and then went back to normal speed. I took it back to the shop and was told it was intermittent misfires in cyl 2 and 3. I had the spark plugs changed, 2 and two coil packs done, but was still having the same issues. Was also told the oil was low, though I had just had an oil change. I was then told that the uf sensor was out and I had a damaged catalyic converter and 2 exhaust gaskets. 2 weeks later I'm driving on a residential street going 25mph and I hear a loud squeal from under my hood. My oil light flashes and my engine stalls. I had just put oil in my car. I was told that my engine had locked but they could not figure out why.

2015 kia Soul base 1,6 gdi 6 speed manual I have 70,000 miles on the vehicle and have noticed it's been burning oil lately. I've been maintaining the vehicle regularly, and do a oil change every 4,000 - 5,000 miles at my kia dealership.

Had oil change October 2018. December 2018 car stalled took to dealer 2. 5 quarts of oil low without any visable leaks. The rod was thrown in vehicle. Mechanics theory was the engine burn up the oil and blew rod. The engine is a 2. 0 6 cyl engine. The same car with a 1. 7 engine was recalled for the above problem.

Need engine replaced. Using at least 1qt of oil or more every few hundred miles. Having to replace coil packs. Smell burning periodically . Have been told by lou SAAB kia that kia quit replacing engines a few months ago. That tells me they have a major problem with the engines. Know others who are having to replace coil packs & are burning oil also.
