Are 2015 kia Soul had close to 100,000 miles on it and we started to have low loss of oil and a light clicking sound. We did not think very much of this. There was no oil leaking and so signs of oil burning through the exhaust. We continued to check oil and keep it full but it seemed to be running out faster then it should. One week after putting oil in it we were on the interstate and loss power and started hearing a loud knocking. The engine is dead and needs replaced. Our car is not under recall and we still have 10,000 dollars left to pay on the car. To replace the car with a new engine is around 5000 dollars. We have no clue what todo but after researching we learned that 2015 kia Soul 2. 0l motors are expensive and in high demand.

Owner of 2015 kia Soul+ with 87k miles. I bought this car used with a little over 24k on it. I commute 90 miles a day, highway and city driving. While driving home on 9/11/2020, loud tapping noises began from engine when I turned a corner. I pulled into a auto zone to check oil levels. Oil was not showing on dipstick and no low oil light came on in car. No leaks and no smoking. I purchased 2 quarts of oil and put them in. The next day I I was scheduled for routine oil change and tire rotation. I took it to my regular service provider; kia in lumberton, nc. I asked them numerous questions about where the oil could be going. They said it could be slipping past the seals. I have always gotten oil changes every 3-5k miles. They have started a 1k oil test. Every 1k for 5k, I have to take it back so that they can check the oil level. The service tech told me that I may be looking at engine replacement with some kind of kia forgiveness program, since I am not the original owner and I still owe on this vehicle. I should not be losing 2 quarts of oil from my car every 3-5k miles! my former vehicle had over 200k miles, and I never had to add oil. I have read that other 2015 kia owners have had this same issue. This is a definite problem and there needs to be some kind of recall.

Vehicle has 65,000 miles on it, has been service regularly according to manufacturer recommendations. Noticed ticking noise in engine just prior to most recent oil change. Repair facility noted there was less than 1 quart of oil in engine. No visible oil leaks. No oil temp light indicator. No engine hi temp indicated. Engine is burning approx . 75 quarts of oil per 1000 miles.

Car was at 73,000 miles and I had only had it for about a year and during this time I heard a ticking noise, rattling from the engine so I got a oil change. The noise continued and got louder. One day on the freeway the noise got extremely loud then I heard a loud pop and didn't know at the time but my car began smoking and someone thankfully flagged me down. I got out of the vehicle to see all the oil completely came out my car was complete empty of oil. My engine blew. I took my car to a dealership where they just sent a bill $5000+ and didn't check to see the reason on my engine blowing I believe it's part of the recall even though it's not specific for my VIN since I literally just got the vehicle it's only 5 years old the engine should not have blown up like that. I could have been seriously injured.

The car is not accelerating properly and not changing gears correctly and automatically. The check engine light is on and is running several codes. It may be the catalytic converters. I was driving on the highway and my car started putting and no accelerating past 60mph. It makes this loud clicking noise when I try and go faster and also it sounds really loud like a lawn mower.

While driving home and at a stop sign my car began to knock something fierce, being a few homes away pulling into driveway. I now hear louder knocking and a new clanking noise (metal in washer sound). Car was towed to mechanic I was told the rod was busted. Needs an engine overhaul. It has 78,000 miles on it and no longer runs. All maintenance was kept up on this car, this was not due to my neglect and the check engine light did not come on. A car I can't afford to fix and still pay for.

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.

On the 4th of July I was traveling on the highway and my car started to slow down a little bit didn't think anything of it pushed down on the gas to pick speed back up, got off of my exit, I came to a full stop went to go and my oil light was flashing the engine had a horrible ticking noise. I pulled into the parking lot checked my oil, I had none. I then got a ride to the store we filled the oil back up turned on the car and the engine noise was even louder I then quickly turned it off. I left the car in the parking lot over night got it towed to kia of dartmouth where they told me I had no damage or leaks but I needed a new engine $6,000 to re-place since I am second owner the warranty runs out at 60,000 miles and I am at 69,295 they won't pay for it. Tired to get me into a new car but they couldn't since I don't have 6,000 for a new engine and I owe $7,000 on the car. I had the car towed to a safe place where I now still have to pay the loan and insurance for it to sit. I have been in contact with kia consumer they told me they would give me an answer by Tuesday 7/16 no one called. I called today 7/17 the women I spoke with said she tried to find the rep I spoke with before but couldn't she would send him an email to call me which he did and all he said was the towing company wouldn't give him any information I told him I used at&t roadside if that helps he said yes hung up on me and hasn't called back. I have kept up with all my oil changes and routine maintenance at quirk kia in braintree, have all my receipts to prove it. I even had an oil change and sticker scheduled for 7/11.

I was leaving work and noticed a loud ticking sound and stopped accelerating . I pulled over about a block away from work into a parking lot and called for a ride. My car was out of warranty so I had it towed to a mechanic who told me the engine was blown. It was fine with no sound while driving to work 9 hours before. The engine was running super hot and I never got any indication of a problem other then that loud ticking when I pulled over. Of course kia won't do anything because my engine is a 2. 0 when only the 1. 6 was on the recall. But after my research I've seen many people with the same thing happening to them with the 2. 0 as well! now I have to take out a loan for 4000 dollars to have my engine replaced with a used one because I'm still paying on my car!.

Engine oil is disappearing. No leaks to be found. Exhaust clean, no oil burn smoke. While driving engine made tapping noise. Checked oil dipstick an found no oil showing. Added 2 qts. . . . I change oil every 5,ooo miles. I changed oil and filter and checked the oil after 2k miles and had to add another quart. Car has 119k miles now. I have worked on engines of all sorts for 50yrs, and this puzzles me. I see no evidence of why or how the oil is disappearing.

This incident occurred on Saturday, the 11th of August, 2018 at 12 noon. In motion on interstate i75 southbound. Medium traffic, dry and clear conditions. I heard what sounded like a rock or other road debris hitting the bottom of the car. About 15 seconds later I started hearing a sort of tapping noise from the engine compartment. All the gauges showed normal. I pulled over thinking I may have picked up something under my car. I pulled to the shoulder and examined under the car and saw nothing. I started driving again and changed my destination to the kia dealer where I purchased my car. I noticed the noise increasing and it seemed as if the engine lost lost compression. I then turned on my flashers to alert the drivers behind me. About this time the lcd screen turned white and had the message that the system may have received an error message from the engine and noted that I should get to a kia dealer ASAP. The screen then went blank. I drove for about another half a mile and the engine light illuminated and the engine died. I was able to get to the shoulder and I notice "steam" coming from under the hood. Upon opening the hood I saw the steam was smoke and flames were shooting from the top of the engine, from under the oil cap. I took a blanket from the back of my car to beat out the flames and it caught on fire. At that time I got away from the car and dialed 911. At that time a trucker had pulled over and came running back with a fire extinguisher and doused the flames. A fire truck arrived and wrote a report which I do not have. The car was towed to sons kia of mcdonough, GA.
