Engine Knocking Noise problems of the 2016 Kia Motor Soul

While I was driving the engine died. I was able to restart and get home but the motor had a knocking sound. I took car to dealer, they said engine was bad and there were recalls on it. They did did some recall work but said the engine wasn't covered because I didn't get the recall work done sooner.

The contact was unable to restart the vehicle and left the vehicle on the side of the road. The next day, the contact's fianc� attempted to meet a tow truck driver at the scene where the vehicle was left; however, upon arrival, the vehicle was gone. Upon investigation, the contact discovered that the vehicle was towed to an independent tow yard where they discovered that the vehicle was burned to ashes. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. A police report nor a fire report was filed. The vehicle was deemed a total loss. The failure mileage was 66,186.

Car has only 34k miles. Had it for two months now. Hasn't had it's first oil change. However, the oil light comes on and blinks then shuts off, does this every time I drive or in idle. I put 4 qts of oil in the car a week ago. There is no reason the oil needs to be filled again. I'm going to have to put additional 4 quarts of oil again. There is no leaks, no burning or anything else. I'm worried about the engine blowing up or catching on fire. There was a recent recall on this car but I have no idea why I am not being told, or informed. The engine is usually quiet, but when the oil light blinks, it's also accompanied by a knocking sound. Kia is aware of this issue and we're sued by customers for the same issue. This is a big problem that kia has not attempted to redress. This issue happens while driving up to and over 40mph, while at a stop, and while driving under 10mph.

On Sunday, may 26th, 2019, our kia Soul caught fire as we were driving on the interstate highway. My family was in the car when my husband felt the car lose power. We heard a knocking sound between us and under us, forward between our seats and the engine. My husband saw smoke as he pulled over on the side of the highway. A few seconds after we pulled over, we saw flames erupt from the hood of the car. We got our three kids out of the car as fast as we could and ran from the car. We called 911 and the fire department and police came to put out the fire and direct traffic, as at least one lane was closed. In the time it took for the first responders to arrive, our car exploded into a fire ball.

I purchased my kia Soul in February 2016. I've driven around 45,000 miles and really enjoyed it until the other night. Driving about 45mph on a major street when a loud screech came from the engine. The car jerked and I thought it was going to stall but it didn't. A loud knocking sound started from under the hood and the oil light flickered a couple of times. Drove about 1/4 mile to the nearest gas station. Added around 1 quart of oil since I saw the oil light flicker. I then drove home (about 5 miles) and the oil light flickered a couple of times on the way. The next day I started the car, the oil light was off but the check engine light was on. So, I drove it to the dealership (1. 5 miles at the most) and was told I needed a whole new engine. I was quoted $4,000 to $6,000 for a used one and for a new one it would be substantially more. I've taken good care of this vehicle and have maintained and regular oil changes. Several of the oil changes were performed at an auto repair shop that went bankrupt. I have no way to obtain copies of those receipts. All I could supply the dealership was one receipt and they had one receipt in their service records. Therefore, no copies. . . No warranty. I can't afford the cost to repair it and I have no idea what to do at this point. The dealer will buy the car back for around $4,000 at best. Why is it that one minute a 3 year old car is running great without a problem and the next minute it's parked and in need of a new engine? something isn't right about that and I am at a loss of what to do next.

After taking the car to my mechanic for an oil change, I was advised to take the car to the dealership because the engine was making a loud banging sound on start up. My mechanic had the vehicle over night and the engine was started cold in the morning on a quiet street. I had noticed that week, that while idling at red lights, it felt as though the car was stalling. The dealership had the car for two full days and were unable to replicate the banging sound and so could not do anything. The car went back to my mechanic for an oil change, which they completed and again had the car over night. When I picked it up, they mentioned that the banging sound had ceased; however, he mentioned that the engine was still "missing" on start up and while idling. Given the recent incidents with Kia Motors, am I just waiting for my car to catch on fire to be included in the recalls? it appears that only the 1. 6 liters trim level is currently included (base model).
