problem #2

Soul 2.0L

  • 6,001 miles

This was the first fix. It had other wiring fixed 3 other times. It was a problem again at 6146 mileage. That cost was $2789.80. Again at 11,631 milage ...Cost was $254.42. And yet again at 22,553...Cost was $10.50. Each time I had to deliver my car to the nearest KIA Dealership which is 50 miles away from my small town. Today I had the engine light come on again and fear it could be the wiring again. I will know for sure when I deliver it again to dealer 50 miles away. I really love my car but this is becoming a big problem. I need help....My car 2014 KIA Soul and has 27001 miles on it. I called KIA complaint office ..phone #800-922-02133 where they opened a case # for me. I am in hope of getting this resolved.

Update from Aug 11, 2018: This was fixed. It was not the wiring. It was a simple fix of a sensor.

Soul

  • Automatic transmission
  • 46,500 miles

I went into my car dealership because the seat warmer in my 2014 Kia Soul had stopped working. I was there to have it replaced. A few days before that my radio would randomly switch to blue tooth which then would switch to Sirius and then to AM and then FM. The day before my appointment my check engine light would come on. So when I took my car in they told me that rodents had made a nest in my engine and were chewing through my wires. They said at this point they could solder them but it would be $150. After looking on the internet I saw there is a class action law suit against Kia, Toyota and Honda because they are using soy based products to wrap the wires and it is attracting rodents to eat them! I want to know how to join this class action suit. Two weeks before this I had been at this dealership and there was an older couple there whom this had happened to and they had done $3000 worth of damage to their vehicles electrical system! Of course they tell us that this isn't covered under warranty but shouldn't it be if it is their product that is attracting the rodents to chew on it! Mine is only $150 but people are being talked into trading their vehicles in because the damage is so severe! Only to buy another Kia and have the same thing happen again!! No thanks!
