Description of the problem	2014 kia soul plus with 106,000 miles. Regular service and maintenance provided by the local kia dealer with no previous issues and all recalls addressed. I was driving to a job location and was about 45 miles from home going 70 mph on a four lane highway. Engine started clicking and shortly thereafter threw a rod. I was able to safely pull to the side of the road and call roadside assistance. I was towed the 40+ miles to the dealer with excess mileage costs. Dealer has quoted engine replacement at ~$7,000 with an option to sell to the dealer at a salvage price of $350. I suspect the rod bearing issue that many other kia soul owners have suffered.
