2019 Kia Soul Fuel system Problems

“Drain plug missing which caused a leek in vehicle, which caused engine to break while drivivng car stopped working, was towed then found the drain plug was missing please help I have been reading and found other cases like mine on the Kia SOUL. My car was stationary on thre highway. I had to get it towed to a gas station where I slept in the car over night then call a tow company to take me to the closest Kia dealership. There they told me their findings.I had an oil change on 05/20/19, at a Kia dealership in md. …”

“The fuel injectors get stuck open causing the engine to flood with gas. One was diagnosed as faulty by moritz Kia in hurst texas in october and they replaced it however they only replaced the faulty one l. Today a second one was diagnosed as faulty. So 2 out of the 4 fuel injectors were faulty on a car that's not even a year and a half old. I plan to replace all the original fuel injectors so it will not be a problem in the future however I believe this part is beyond just a accidentally faulty one. The chances of having half the injectors in one car be bad is unbelievable.”

“The vehicle stalls and no response when gas pedal is depressed, after about 4 or 5 seconds the engine responds to gas pedal. This happens at speeds of less than 5 MPH when turning or in stop and go traffic. When turning across oncoming traffic and it happens, then it is a safety problem. I have not taken vehicle in to dealer yet.”

“My 2019 Kia Soul is experiencing severe and abnormal engine oil consumption. This issue requires frequent refilling of engine oil to prevent damage. The malfunction is in the powertrain system, likely within the GDI engine, specifically related to the piston rings. This type of structural defect can lead to a sudden and catastrophic engine failure while driving, which poses a serious safety hazard to occupants and other motorists. The problem has been confirmed by me, the vehicle owner, through the observation of consistent and rapid oil level depletion. …”

“I was traveling on Saturday at about 40 miles an hour down the road car just all of a sudden lost power and started smoking. No engine light or anything else came out to indicate a problem. Got it too a repair shop waiting to hear Monday exactly all the damage but they did say it had no oil in the car. It’s only been 2 1/2 months since an oil change checked that last month had plenty of oil could this be related to the 2021 to 2023 engine oil burning and KIA. I have been towed on the last three or four oil changes that it was almost a half a quart low each time.”
