2015 Kia Soul Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“About several months ago the car was skipping. I was told it was a coil. I had it replaced. It then drove fine. Then in Christmas Day it started again and the engine light came on once again. I took it to a mechanic and he thought it was the plug for the coil. They changed it and it did it again. He said that with Kia and Hyundai cars there is always problems like this. He said he fixed a Kia with the same problem as mine about a week ago. …”

“The car is not accelerating properly and not changing gears correctly and automatically. The check engine light is on and is running several codes. It may be the catalytic converters. I was driving on the highway and my car started putting and no accelerating past 60mph. It makes this loud clicking noise when I try and go faster and also it sounds really loud like a lawn mower.”

“Car while be delayed in shifting gears and then all the sudden accelerate too fast and jerks the car, oil keeps running really low after putting oil in but no visible leaks. Engine light continues to come on reading code is p0420 stating problems with catalytic converter. Recalls are in place for this year make and model for catalytic converter but my VIN number isn't showing up even though I'm having the exact problems as described in recall!!”

“Checked my oil and the dipstick was showing no oil at all, 2 quarts had been added 2 weeks prior. No sign of an oil leak anywhere. 2 days later I started the vehicle and it was idling very hard then died, I waited then started it back up. The engine light came on but it didnt die again. It has since continued to run very rough. This started at about 90,000, oil consumption is ridiculous. There is definitely a problem here, so many people are making complaints as well!!”

“Had been driving on the highway for about 90 minutes/90 miles when we were coming to the summit of stevens pass on hwy 20 east-bound. The car suddenly started running rough so we pulled to the shoulder just in time for the engine to stall and all dash lights to come on. Tried to restart the engine when a puff of smoke erupted from the engine compartment and a bystander alerted us to visible flames. Thankfully, a passer by had an extinguisher and was able to put out the fire almost immediately.”
