NHTSA Complaint #11194486 — 2013 KIA SOUL

AFTER A MONTH OF LEASING MY KIA MY ENGINE LIGHT AND OIL LIGHT KEPT REAPPEARING. SO I WOULD CHECK ALL THE FLUIDS. THE ENGINE AND OIL LIGHT TURNED OFF AND DIDN'T TURN ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS THAN THE OIL LIGHT TURNED ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. ALL THE FLUIDS WERE CHECKED. ON A 15 MINUTE DRIVE INTO TOWN IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER NOT APPEARING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. LATER ON IN THE AFTERNOON DRIVING BACK TO THE RESIDENCE THE RADIATOR CAP FLEW OFF INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT MAKING THE CAR OVERHEAT. IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEEING THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE GO UP I PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS LEFT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN I REPLACED THE CAP. IT WAS RUNNING A LITTLE ROUGH SO I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTOZONE TO HAVE THE CODES READ. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CAR JUST DIED AND COULD NOT START IT WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER. TOOK IT TO KIA AFTER AND WAS TOLD SPARK PLUGS HAD MELTED TO THE ENGINE AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER A YEAR OF SITTING I TOOK IT UPON MYSELF TO TRY TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE CAR. SO I DID READ WATCH AND REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT SENSOR WHICH ALLOWED THE CAR TO START BUT NOW THE CAR IDLES REALLY ROUGH AND THERE IS SOME WEIRD NOISES IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IT ALSO STILL HAS A PROBLEM STARTING.
