NHTSA Complaint #11193495 — 2014 KIA SOUL

I NOTICED A STRANGE CLICKING OR SPUTTERING OF MY MOTOR AND THEN THE ENGINE COMPLETELY CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON A STREET, TURNING RIGHT AT A STOP LIGHT...AND NOT THE FREEWAY! FOUND OUT THAT THE ENGINE BLEW AND THAT ALL THE OIL WAS SUCKED UP OUT OF MY CAR. MY NEXT OIL CHANGE WASN'T DUE FOR ANOTHER 1000 MILES. I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS! NO NOTHING OTHER THAN NON-FUNCTIONING CAR. RESEARCHED ENGINE FAILURE AND FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL ON 1.6 L ENGINES (I HAVE A 2L) BUT SAME ISSUE. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT HE SEES THIS AT LEAST ONCE EVERY 2 MONTHS IN KIA'S. THE 2L NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL! APPARENTLY, AFTER RESEARCH ON THIS SITE, MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. PEOPLE COULD GET HURT! WHAT IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY??? OR, MY ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE??? I'M SO GRATEFUL I'M ALIVE RIGHT NOW.
