Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Soul

So I was on my way home from running errands, current speed was 45 because of traffic signs and then had to yield because I needed to turn left, started going once I was able to so speed was about 0 this time, tried to turn and start to get car up to speed again when car decided to start stuttering and the car ended up not going past 20 mph. It went from 45 to 20 and refused to go higher, even went down to 10. Check engine light came and was forced to pull over. Car would drive after checking to make sure there were no leaks or anything else visible. Car would absolutely not go pad 25 in a 55. Was a very dangerous ride home because car had started rolling backwards out of nowhere. Car currently still jumps and has not been driven since 1st scare. The engine was replaced the first time this happened in 2019 by the dealership after only purchasing the car and having it for 2 months with an older engine, I have absolutely no idea why this has happened again. The car also recently was checked for recalls when oil change was due.

Received a recall notification dated January 25, 2021 referencing a potential of an engine fire. The notice indicated two mil lights, check engine and oil. The vehicle had been illuminating these lights for approximately 6 weeks. However, they would never stay illuminated; continued to turn on and off. Visited the local kia dealership, sussman kia of roslyn, PA. Informed that the problem was a leaky oil pan. Part was ordered. Scheduled an appointment for March 24. Informed prior to picking it up that the oil pressure switched had to be replaced. Kia was only covering the oil pan. I had to pay for the oil and the pressure switch. At no time, was I informed of any potential damage to the engine. However, on April 3, driving on a major highway, the vehicle stalled. I almost was rammed by a tractor trailer. The vehicle had to be towed to a repair shop. On April 6, I was informed that the cam and engine timing were the issues. The engine has to be completely disassembled. Contacted sussman kia and was informed that they could only do what kia corporation instructed, there was no check engine light data in the computer, and that the engine probably became damaged by the lost of oil. Sussman kia relinquished my vehicle being aware that this could be a problem. Again, I was driving on the I-476 highway. I could have been killed. Kia is only concerned about the bottom line, not lives that could be impacted by their negligence. Kia manufactures vehicles that are clearly unsafe and then continues with poor maintenance even with their own recalls. They "ties" their own dealership hands in repairs; limiting what kia will pay for under warranty. I had to pay for an oil pressure switch that actually was faulty.

My engine is leaking oil and there is something blinking on the dashboard.

The contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. The contact stated while driving at 50 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that he started to smell smoke and noticed that the vehicle started to leak oil. The vehicle was unable to restart and had to be towed back to the contact's residence. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA campaign number: 20v750000 (engine). The contact stated the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was then towed to the local dealer van nuys kia (6115 van nuys blvd, van nuys, CA 91401) where it was diagnosed with the engine needing to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and informed the contact that they would call them back. The failure mileage was approximately 143,000.

There are no oil leaks but the oil kept measuring low. Now there is this metal on metal sound coming from the engine. The vehicle was in motion at the time the metal sound was noticed.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19v120000 (engine, engine and engine cooling). The contact stated while driving 35 mph, the engine experienced a misfire and the vehicle loss motive power. The check engine warning light was flashing. The vehicle was taken to bruce walters Ford Lincoln kia (302 s mayo trail, pikeville, ky 41501, (606) 444-2200 to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that there was an oil leak on the oil pan cover. The contact stated that the catalytic converter was previously repaired by an independent mechanic. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the spark plugs and ignition coils needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 98,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to his residence. The contact inspected the engine and found metal shavings inside the engine compartment due to a broken connecting rod. Oil had also leaked all over the engine. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 19v120000 (engine, engine and engine cooling). The contact then towed the vehicle to dutch miller kia of barboursville (6400 us-60, barboursville, wv 25504) where he was informed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and the contact was provided the same information. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

While driving 70mph on a highway, my kia Soul spontaneously burst into flames underneath a stranger stopped with a fire extinguisher luckily. Fire dept says had we not used the extinguisher, my car quite likely would have exploded. Prior to incident, I had no warning lights on, no oil leak, oil needed changing soon but wasn't too low. There was no collision.

About three months ago my engine light came on and the code was for a catalytic converter. But the light went away after a couple days and I forgot about it. Last week my son borrowed the car to drive 200 miles because his grandfather was dying in dallas. He saw the engine light was on but thought he could make it there and back. But the car broke down after puffs of black smoke and decreased speed. Towed it to auto repair shop who said there was no oil in the car and the engine was locked up. I typed the VIN number into your database and discovered that the car was under recall for a defective part. Your recall code is 19v120. Manufacturer recall is sc176. Called kia manufacturing and they said get the car to a kia dealership and they'll run a diagnostic. If the trouble came from the defective part they'd replace the engine. Just heard back from university kia in waco and they said there were two leaks in the engine block and they didn't get a code for the catalytic converter so they weren't liable. But I got a code three months ago. And they couldn't tell me how the engine block leaks happened. Just that it wasn't their fault.

Problem with the engine light come on. They tell me nothing is wrong with the engine light. Also I have a problem with loosing oil I do not have an oil leak. No oil no where. Kia service been doing a oil test every 2000 miles they have to add oil every time. One day I was on the highway the oil light came on I stopped to check my oil level the engine was dry with no oil. I had 600 mile before a oil change.

Car while be delayed in shifting gears and then all the sudden accelerate too fast and jerks the car, oil keeps running really low after putting oil in but no visible leaks. Engine light continues to come on reading code is p0420 stating problems with catalytic converter. Recalls are in place for this year make and model for catalytic converter but my VIN number isn't showing up even though I'm having the exact problems as described in recall!!.

In October of 2019,I started having trouble with my 2015 kia Soul accelerating. It would bog down and I had trouble getting it to shift into overdrive. I took it into the kia dealership in idaho falls` and they said the catalytic converter was plugged, warped and very hot. They told me I had to replace the part but there were no catalytic converters to be found in the united states. Apparently, due to a recall everyone was having their cars fixed. The dealer found one in seattle that I had to pay to have shipped. The total repair, including shipping, was close to $2000. 00. The repair was performed in December 2019. Then in June 2020, on a trip to salt lake, my car started blogging down again. My check engine light came on. I had someone look at the code and they said the engine was �misfiring�. A short time later, my car bogged down on the way home and I could not go more than 40 mph on the freeway. I had to drive 35 miles with my hazards on. I took it to a local dealer and he diagnosed it as a bad catalytic converter. I decided to take it back to the dealership that replaced the catalytic converter just six months ago. Now they say my engine is damaged and I have to rebuild the engine or get a new car. It seems suspicious that I am experiencing the exact same issues covered by the recall on all 2015 kia Soul base models but my plus model is not covered. �NHTSA campaign 19v120000 report date: Feb 21, 2019 consequence: piston damage may result in an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash. A broken connecting rod may puncture the engine block allowing engine oil to escape. The leaking oil may contact the exhaust, increasing the risk of a fire. � I believe my car has the same catalytic overheating protection engine control unit logic is also faulty and needs to be included in the recall which includes getting a new engine.

Kia Soul+ 2015 - engine oil disappears after driving 1500 miles with no visible ground leaks or blue exhaust. 2nd time it happend the engine had to be replaced as the piston was destroyed due to no oil. Low oil light never came on and uvo self diagnostics never warned of a problem. Good thing it didn't happen at highway speeds.

I had an oil change done March 8,2020. May 9th,2020 I hear a ticking. I checked my oil,there was none. I have no oil leaks. , I added oil,drove about a mile,the ticking got louder and then my engine shut off. I had it towed home. I have no idea why theres no oil and no leaks. I was driving about 30 mph when it stalled. No smoke,nothing. My indicators for low oil or check engine never came on. They still arent on.

Vehicle just hit 80k. Low oil light came on @ 2500 miles. Checked and 2 qts disappeared. Filled back up with 2 qts and a month later, check oil light came back on and was again, 2 qts low. Filled back up and immediately the low oil light started flickering again. Replaced the oil pressure sensor and that fixed the flickering light but am still losing oil. No leaks or smoking. This is ridiculous.

Engine is using excessive amounts of oil and there are no apparent leaks. A seized engine on the interstate can lead to an accident. I see multiple reports of this problem with this engine and nothing is being done to correct this safety issue.

Driving on a city street at about 35 mph, the engine began rapping with no oil light warning. Stopped the car, the oil light finally went on, no oil was leaking, but checking the oil level revealed there was no oil in the engine. The engine is a total loss.

Tl-the contact owns a 2015 kia Soul. The contact parked their vehicle at a friends house. They came out of their friends house after an hour. The contact' son saw a large oil leak under their vehicle. The vehicle was not functioning. The contact had the vehicle towed to the local mechanic. The contact had to wait for the mechanic waited for the availability of the mechanic over the weekend. The mechanic was just to busy so now the contact was going to have the vehicle towed to a kia dealer (unknown). The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,078. Jw.

Tl-the contact owns 2015 kia Soul. The contact stated that while at a stopped position the vehicle suddenly all of the lights on the dashboard flased and the vehicle cut off. The oil level was dry and the contact had just had an oil change three weeks prior to the issue happening. The independent mechanic who changed the oil was taken to court twice by the conbtact as a result of the incident. The judge ruled in favor of the independent mechanic because there was not enough evidence. The VIN tool showed no recalls and because of a lawsuit against the manufacturer already out the malfuncion was manufacturer's fault. The dealer lumberton kia 5035 dawn dr, lumberton, nc 28360 (910) 739-2405 found no leaks of oil anyware on the engine. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle had no recalls or warranty coverage and there was nothing they could do to help. The vehicle is still currently unrepaired needing a new engine since the incident occured on 7/3/19. The failure mileage was 115,000. Tf.

I bought this car at 62,000 miles and was told by the dealer I still had a powertrain warranty until 100,000 miles. I have had issues with oil disappearing from the start. I have to put in oil between changes and have been getting it changed every 3000 miles. It takes about 2 quarts in between changes. There are no signs of leaks, nothing in my driveway or anywhere I park. I did read that they recalled the 1. 6 ltr engine but have not recalled the 2. 0 ltr. I am having the same problems as the 1. 6. I see many people with the 2. 0 have reported the same problem. Please get involved as I see no recall on my car and it is not right that I should have to put in so much oil between changes. The oil light has never come on and the first time I noticed it, the oil was right at the low mark. The oil always looks fuzzy which in my 50 years of driving old cars and checking the oil constantly, I have never seen. This needs to be a recall ASAP. I am at 87,000 right now. Please help us make sure that kia does the right thing in this. I have read through this website and seen many other kia owner with the same problem.

I had my car into the dealer for unknown oil loss, the car was not burning it or leaking. I was informed by the dealer that it was an issue but there are no recalls on it. They took the engine apart and took pictures to submit to kia for advice. Kia refused to authorize them to fix the engine. On my way home on the highway with the car the engine started knocking when accelerating, the car lost power and the engine light came on. The car has about 111000 miles and it's been sitting for 2 years now because it needs the engine and catalytic converted replaced. I had to buy another car to drive. I have periodically called car to see if they were going to do a recall on the 2. 0 engine like they did for the 1. 6 because the 2. 0 was doing the exact same thing. It been 2 years and finally I got a recall letter that they now have the recall. I had my car towed to suntrup kia to get a new engine. I was told that the kia computers had been hacked and they could not get approval to fix the engine. They hoped it would be up next week. Next week came and they called and said they fixed the recalls. I asked if they replaced the engine and catalytic converter that quick. They said no my car did not fail some test they did. I called kia to get the issue resolved and they also told me they could not help me because there computer's were down and had no eta on when they would be back up. Now I have to pay to have my car towed home again. Suntrup kia recommend me not to drive it.

I have had the oil changed the first time at 3000 miles and they noticed the oil was leaking from the front of the engine. I call the dealer and made an appointment to have it fixed the dealer did change the oil pan gasket, then I drove it until the next oil change, same thing oil leak at front of the engine, so I called the dealer made an appointment, they changed the valve cover gasket. I have now 82500 miles on the car and just came from having car check at my local mechanic and still oil leak in front of the engine. Looks like the warranty will run out with on repair to my vehicle!!!.
