Description of the problem | I have a 2014 kia soul plus and the catalytic converter seems to have failed and has began to cause engine damage. The dealership did not point to the converter but only said that my engine needed replaced. On second and third opinions, it has been determined that it was in fact my catalytic converter. Kia needs to take responsibility for this issue and recall the 2. 0l catalytic convert just as they did the 1. 6l. |
