2013 Kia Soul Fuel system Problems

“Kia SOUL 2013 recall. We were driving home from work on the freeway going about 55mph and the check engine light started flashing. We rushed immediately to the kiadealership after hearing about the Kia engine fires. They scanned our vechiel and saidone of the engine coils may stop working. They said our car could just stop working on the road and then we would need to tow it in. This doesn't sound like a clear explaination of the problem to me. I'm concerned we'll keep driving the car and it will catch on fire.”

“I have a 2013 Kia SOUL, I have been paying my loan on this car since 2016. I take care of it and routinely do oil changes on it and up keep. Over the course of the past four months I noticed my car acting up, I had taken it to shops and none could find a problem. My car was not starting up, I would have to jiggle my wheel to miraculously get the vehicle to start. Then once it started it wouldn't accelerate and would slowly go into neutral. Progressively it got worse, my car would turn off if I was parked or at a stop sign or when going 20mph or less. …”

“Nhtsa campaign id 19v120000: the sc176 recall on my car was repaired may 30, 2019. Earlier this year my car began showing the signs of the further damage noted in the recall details. In april 2020 my car randomly stalled when in motion on a city street and the check engine light came on. I was able to coast off the road and eventually start the car again. The pandemic prevented me from having it serviced at my Kia dealership or elsewhere. Since april, this has occurred five times, both on city streets and the highway while in motion. …”

“Vehicle began making a noise and seemingly not getting gas anymore and came to a complete stop right in the middle of rush hour traffic.. I tried starting it and it would not start unless I pumped the gas petal, which sent plumes of white smoke and awfully strong gas odor. The car did this all the way home. I called a mechanic and he did a diagnostic test on it and said it was caused by one of two sensors. Three mechanics said the vehicle could have caught on fire and possibly exploded while I was driving it because it was dumping fuel on the engine. …”

“On april 3rd, 2018 after stopping at a stop sign my car would not move when stepping on the gas pedal. Then it stalled out and would not start. Had help come within 30 minutes and when we tried to start it again, it did start and I drove it home. No engine lights came on. My husband changed the crank shaft sensor after researching online for the problem and talking to mechanics about it. Ran fine until may 1, 2018, as I was driving on the freeway in cruise control doing 65mph my car suddenly started slowing down. I had no trouble lights on. …”
