Loud Engine Noise problems of the 2015 Kia Motor Soul

The car broke down while driving on the highway. The car began making a loud noise and began shaking and then just shut down. The car was towed to a local kia dealership. Service representative determined that there were multiple holes in the engine block and damage to the cylinder head. Service department requested and received authorization for short block and cylinder head replacement. Kia Soul was just five years old, had fewer than 50,000 original miles on the odometer, and was maintained regularly.

I was driving on a one lane road inclining when loud noise started coming from the engine. When I found a safe place to pull over, as I pulled over, the engine malfunction light eliminated solid. I had the car towed to my mechanic who told me I needed a new engine. I then towed it to kia, and was told by kia that the engine threw a rod. Was told that there was so much metal shavings in the oil pan, the pan was replaced. There was no oil on the dipstick at breakdown. Kia told me it was because all the oil had burnt up. 30 days prior to breakdown I had a software update done to the eui, which update was to alert prior to rod end bearing failure. I provided all oil maintenance records to kia and they replaced my engine free of charge. It took 6 weeks to complete. .

I purchased this car in March not knowing it had an recall on it , my car has this loud noise coming from under the hood of the car , mechanic told me it was the engine and catalytic converter and it was smoking very bad this happen on the eway lucky I got it to the house.

I bought a kia Soul about 4 months ago from private dealer, I spent over 1200 dollars on fixing it so for. But I went in for a oil change and to see what this loud noise was and the mechanic stop with the oil change because he spotted metal in the oil and told me to take it to the kia dealer. As soon as I turn in the dealership the car stops. They tell me the motors gone and that they cant cover it. Even though 2015 1. 6l engine is doing the same thing.

As of last year, my car started eating up about 5qt of oil in a month. I took it in to several replicable service centers, and no one ever found the issues as to why my car was engulfing so much oil. Finally, the end of July 2020, my car started to not accelerate. I took it into a kia service center this time and they explained to me that my car catalytic converter was clogged, and I needed to replace it. At this time, is when I found out that my car was out of warranty. Now remember I'm thinking I have 100. 000-mile warranty and was only at 84,000-miles. This is when I first found out I was lied to. As I'm sure you know, I immediately called the car lot, there was nothing they could do. I then called kia, and they gave me a good will repair for the converter. I myself still had to come out another $700 dollars at the time. Now here is where it all gets complicated. Not even two weeks after I received my car back, the engine gets a hole in it. Yes, the engine goes out. Now here is where I'm trying to get assistance at. I do extensive research, (I will add links below) I first found the recall issues on my car. This why kia paid for the converter because I found it there was a recall on it. But the issues that caused the converter to go out in the first place was never, either 1. Detected or 2. Looked over, because not even two weeks later my car, as I'm driving starts making noises, smoked, blew out a very loud noise and stopped in the middle of the highway. This time the diagnosis was the crank shaft in the engine was dry, no oil which caused it to seize up then cause it to forcible move, which created the hole in the engine. Now going back to when I first started, I was putting 5 qtrs. Of oil a month. My car was never fixed or diagnosed correctly, I. E. Leaving to this current issue. Which is now over $6,000 more to fix.

Piston slapping. Engine is shutting off while driving and while on a hill it it worse. It chokes stops running and refuses to start. The oil is escaping out of the engine due to the high hard piston slapping which is making a god awful noise! the car is unsafe. It smells like fire. I see the recalls of the 1. 6 engine but this 2. 0 is doing the exact same thing.

Purchased used with approx 30k mi from kia dealer. Had oil changed approx every 4k mi. Had oil changed at 131,157 mi on 5/9/2019. On 6/28/2019, was driving on interstate and engine started making terrible noise with severe syncopated vibrations and saw some smoke/steam coming from right (passenger) side of hood/engine. Pulled over at immediately available off ramp. Mileage was 135,191. Mechanic said engine needed to be replaced and problem was likely caused by some aspect of the variable valve timing not actuating in order to properly tension the timing chain. Towed vehicle to kia dealership and they confirmed engine needed to be replaced. We drove the car regularly for 100,000 mi with no mechanical problems at all, maintained it faithfully, and it failed instantaneously. That indicates a design flaw. If I had been traveling in traffic, the sudden loss of power could have been injurious or fatal.
