2017 Kia Soul Transmission Problems

Dear Officer, I'm writing to report the powertrain and engine issue on my Green Kia Soul 2017 with a 1.6L engine. The engine misfired when I was driving on Interstate 26 with my whole family (including my wife, mom, and 4-year-old daughter). The speed was down first with no signal and then the car started to shake strongly.

My cars check engine light has come on at 87,659 miles with a p0420 code. My dealer has determined that this is a defective catalytic converter and because of the mileage it is not warrantied. In doing research the 2012-2016 Kia Soul with the 1.6 gdi engine.

My situation is happening everyday with my kia soul 2017 it constantly smokes, if fogs up my whole windshield when I turn the defroster on it smells like it's burning it is very fearful I don't go far I only have a eight mile drive to work and I go through this everyday and night.my worries are valid I feel because I have the 2.0 engine and from what I've been reading this is the engine that has been causing all of the fires the popping sound has not stopped this is a second report for me and I am pleading for your company to please add 2017 kia soul to the recall list thank you.

While driving under normal conditions, the check engine light began flashing and the vehicle suddenly lost power and entered limp mode. Acceleration was severely limited, making it difficult to maintain speed in traffic. The vehicle was later diagnosed with diagnostic trouble code P1326, which is associated with engine rod bearing failure.

Had oil changed and noticed car was stalling. Went to get car checked out and there was no oil. Replaced oil and car still had the same issue.

The car will burn through almost a full 4 quarts of oil within 1000 miles. From reading online oil consumption issues are a common problem for 2014 through 2017 Kia Souls, but even some later models are having similar issues.

Oil light came on, checked oil and it was low. The next day the car loss complete power and stalled on the side of the road. Engine made a loud sound and stopped.

Low oil pressure indication alerted while driving. Had my vehicle towed for an evaluation. Oil was full but engine failure was detected.

My 2017 kia showed no signs of problems until I was driving to store on state road 9 going 40 MPH and while in drive in died out on me. I turned the key over a few times. It finally caught and started.

The contact owns a 2017 Kia Soul. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle, there was a judder coming from the transmission. Additionally, while decelerating to come to a stop, the vehicle shook abnormally before accelerating while continuing to drive.

The car engine stopped running while traveling in traffic, steering and braking effected, quickly rolled to a stop. Engine totally and quickly lost all power. High pressure fuel pump found to have broken by kia dealer, and replaced.

My car feels like it steers sideways down the road,it bounces,hard to control,it loses power in 3rd gear,the brakes don't work well at all,engine pings loudly constantly.I took my car to carfax in modesto california whom I purchased from and they couldn't find anything wrong,th s ir lieing,living, car was wrecked and painted over ,its full of over spray,the car is dangerous to drive,I want it replaced with a new kiasoul

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

Vehicle shut off on the highway and engine no seized however oil change was recently completed

Got in my car september 2020 and heard knocking under hood. Drive it to the penzoil less than 15 minutes away and I knock got faster and louder. Penzoil told me park it and tow to nearest kia.

With no warning my car completely stopped working, no engine light ever came on, my oil changes were up-to-date, and it was diagnosed with rod knock which is what everybody else on here is saying. How is there not already a recall on this year???

When placed in drive, and gas pedal is depressed the car jerks forward and back and will not accelerate. It shakes the whole car.. Does it if car is cold or hot but seems to happen more when car is not full hot.
