Description of the problem | I was driving down the road doing about 45 miles per hour and out of nowhere my vehicle stopped in the middle of the road. I had to act fast and get off the road so i wouldn't get hit by the oncoming traffic. I had the vehicle towed and come to find out my 2. 0 engine had seized. The tow truck driver from kia international roadside stated that they have been towing kia souls all month for bad engine problems. I have 65000 miles on my vehicle. My next oil change wasn't until another 1000 miles. No low oil pressure light came on not even the engine light, it just shut off out of nowhere. All the oil was sucked out of the engine, on top of that i have to pay $8,000 to get a new engine. A recall need to be put up about no warning lights on the dashboard. |
