The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 96,806.
PRETTY MUCH SINCE I HAVE HAD VEHICLE CAR JERKS AT TIME, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AT TIMES,THE FUEL NEEDLE DROPS UP AND DOWN TO EMPTY EVEN WHEN I JUST FILLED IT UP. AND RANG NUMBER TURNS TO LINES AND FLASHES LIKE CAR FUEL IS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS FULL. ALSO LEFT HEAD LIGHT IS BURNT I REPLACED THE BULB BUT IT DIDN'T FIX ISSUE. SO I THINK THE WHOLE HEAD LAMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS PURCHASED LIKE THIS. IT SEEMS THERE MIGHT BE A EMISSIONS ISSUE.
COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE - 11-5-18 - ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. ALL OIL WAS GONE FROM ENGINE. CAR CANNOT EVEN BE MANUALLY CRANKED. SEEMS TO BE EXACT SAME ISSUE DISCOVERED WITH SAME YEAR 1.6L ENGINES, BUT WASN'T INCLUDED IN RECALL AS A 2.0L ENGINE FOR WHATEVER REASON. 3 MECHANICS HAVE QUOTED ME A $10K REPAIR INCLUDING AN ENTIRE NEW ENGINE. NO SALVAGE OR USED ENGINES AVAILABLE ANYWHERE.
THE LIGHTS IN MY KIA SOULS INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR ARE FLICKERING AND GOING OUT COMPLETELY SOMETIMES. VERY UNSAFE WHEN I AM ALREADY DRIVING. HAPPENS TO MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS AND INTERIOR ROOF LIGHTING. IT HAS ALSO CAUSED MY LIGHTS TO STAY ON SOMETIMES AND CAUSES MY BATTERY TO DIE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR IS IDLE OR DRIVING OR OFF COMPLETELY WHEN THE DOORS ARE OPEN.
CRUISE CONTROL RANDOMLY CUT OFF. THEN ESC AND ABS LIGHTS COME ON AND DISABLES ANTI-LOCK BRAKES SYSTEM AND STABILITY CONTROL. BEST GUESS FAULTY BRAKE SWITCH. *TR
