Check Engine Light On problems of the 2017 Kia Motor Soul

Something is knocking or ticking in the motor feels like under my feet of drivers floor board. Have kept regular oil changes nd it started off by spitting and sputtering when I would come to a stop to now ticking. Went to start it the next morning to go too work and it sounded awful so I didnt drive it. Now when I start it the battery light is on and check engine light is on and it will start for about 3 sec an shuts off.

Tl the contact owns a 2017 kia Soul. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 mph, the engine jerked and shutoff. The vehicle failed to restart after pulling over to the side of the roadway. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the matt castrucci kia dealer located at 3013 mall park dr, dayton, OH 45459, where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

Vehicle has only 75k miles on it motor spun a barring on bottom it done all the the things on the last motor recall but was on diffrent model contacted dealer an showed it was the same motor an nothing has happen want honor warnty or anything an im not the first person have talked to severy an they contacted kia dealer ships prior to an they get the same thing only thing vehicle done was say low oil pressure light came on but no check engine light motor was knocking very bad an knock motor sensor never came on either ive hooked code reader up to it my self nothing now the car is about to hit my credit due to faulty motor.

Took off from stop sign got up to 55 mph and engine blew. No warning lights. No check engine light. Nothing. It just blew. Oil pressure gauge was normal. It didn't make any kind of noise or hesitation. I was driving on a state highway on a straight stretch of road and was traveling slightly downhill when it blew. It was 5:20 am when it happened.

Mileage 75,000 and the engine threw a rod through the bottom of the engine block and through the oil pan. I purchased the car with about 22,000 miles. I've driven the car less than 2 years and have put about 50,000 miles on it. I have maintained the vehicle according to manufacturer specifications with regular oil changes every 5000 miles. I have never had the check engine or oil lights come on since I've owned the vehicle. While driving on the interstate about 80 mph with the cruise control on, the car struggled and felt like it was going to stall out, like it wasn't getting gas or the alternator was failing. The check engine and oil light came on and smoke was billowing from under the hood. I had to drive for about half a mile or so to the nearest emergency pull off and turned off the car. When I was finally brave enough to pop the hood, there was oil sprayed all over the engine bay, a small puddle on the ground, and no oil in the engine. I had it towed to my local garage and was told that the engine blew the connector rod out of the engine block and through the oil pan. My vehicle has not been recalled for this issue but there has been a recall on 2012-16 kia Soul for the exact same problem. It cannot be a coincidence that my vehicle has this problem as well. My local kia dealership has said I can bring it in, pay the $100 diagnostics fee, and they'll decide if it can be covered since the warranty has lapsed. Since I am the second owner, I do not have the 100,000 mile 10 year warranty. The warranty is reduced to 3 years 60,000 from the original (first owner) purchase date.

I began to have problems with my engine in September of 2018, my car would just turn off while I was driving on the streets. Note that when I took my vehicle in I only had 29,800 miles on it. I took it into a dealership and they replaced my engine in which I did not get my vehicle back until January 2019. Every time I would get my vehicle back the check engine light would be on, and the car would drive terribly. In the course of 4-5 months I had a bad vehicle returned to me 3 times. I've had my vehicle for a week and I still do not feel safe driving it and when I reach the speed limit of 40 mph it begins to shake. Lastly, when I press on the breaks I could feel that my foot begins to tremor/shake as if I'm in a go-kart I still do not feel safe driving this vehicle on a day-to-day basis. I have attached two photos. One of the check engine light the day the dealership returned my vehicle, and two of the new engine.
