ENTERED LEASE ON 2015 KIA SOUL EXCLAIM ON 2-9-15 WHEN LEASE FOR 2012 KIA SOUL EXCLAIM WAS ABOUT TO TERMINATE. EVER SINCE PURCHASE, WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND AM IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT, THE CAR WILL FEEL LIKE IT WANTS TO GO. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT INTERVALS, SO MILEAGE ON CAR KEEPS GROWING. I HAVE TO PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKES AT TIMES IN ORDER TO KEEP CAR FROM TRYING TO ACCELERATE FORWARD. I'VE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THEY HAVE RECENT THE COMPUTER TO FACTORY NEW SETTINGS, MORE THAN ONCE. ON 11-21-15, I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY TOOK ALL SORT OF READINGS AND WERE ON THE PHONE WITH KIA TECH FOR SUGGESTIONS. THE ONE PERSON WHO COULD READ MORE ABOUT THE FINDINGS WAS NOT GOING TO BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 11-24-15. I CALLED THIS EVENING AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR HAD TALKED THEIR TECH WHO HAD TALKED TO KIA TECH AND THEY STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I CONTINUE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING AT A COMPLETE STOP AND POTENTIALLY RAMMING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I'VE TRIED TURNING THE FAN OFF OR MAKING SURE THE CAR HAS WARMED UP SO THAT THE FAN DOESN'T HAVE TO RUN TO SEE IF THAT HELPS, BUT IT STILL WILL DO THIS.

FIRST OCCURRED AT 134 MILES ON MY 2015 KIA SOUL...BOUNCY VIBRATING SHAKY RIDE COULD BE FELT UNDER MY FEET LIKE SOMETHING BUMPING THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR AND IN THE STEERING WHEEL LIKE SOMEONE WAS TAPPING ON IT CONTINUOUSLY. PASSENGERS FRONT AND REAR CAN FEEL THE VIBRATING SHAKE. HAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER FIVE TIMES WITH THIS PROBLEM AND HAS NOT YET BEEN REPAIRED. IT IS SO BAD IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE TO RIDE IN AND DRIVE. TWO SERVICE TECHS HAVE TOLD ME THEY FEEL IT BUT DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. LOCAL DEALER REFUSED SERVICE AFTER THE FOURTH TIME SAYING THEY WOULD NOT TRY TO "FIX" IT AGAIN SO KIA CORPORATION SENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THE SECOND DEALERSHIP FEELS IT BUT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS EITHER. A FIELD TECH IS BEING SENT WITH A NEW MACHINE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. NEW TIRES AND WHEELS HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE VEHICLE...THEY MADE A DIFFERENCE BUT IT STILL HAS THE VIBRATING SHAKY FEELING. TWICE, WHEN GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE...SERVICE TECHS DON'T KNOW WHY. THE CAR SHUDDERS MANY TIMES WHEN SITTING AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR PARKING LOT...IT WILL BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY, THEN SUDDENLY BEGIN THE SHUDDER AND SHAKE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, IT RUNS SMOOTHLY AGAIN. AND NO, IT IS NOT THE AC COMPRESSOR KICKING IN...THE VIBRATING SHAKY RIDE OCCURS ON ALL TYPES OF PAVEMENT AND ROAD SURFACES. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TO GO AROUND A CURVE, THE WHEEL SHAKES AS IF THE AXLES ARE BAD. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE PURCHASED JUNE 24, 2015, NEW, AND NOW HAS 4,000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL DOING ITS VIBRATING SHAKY THING. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THESE PROBLEMS? THIS IS THE THIRD 2015 KIA SOUL WE HAVE OWNED! THE OTHER TWO ARE GREAT! NO PROBLEMS...TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THIS ONE.

EA21003 · Engine Fires

Opened Dec 22, 2021 · Closed Feb 5, 2024

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Engine

On March 29, 2019, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened two Preliminary Evaluations (PE19-003 on Hyundai and PE19-004 on Kia) to broadly investigate incidents of non-crash fires (regardless of origin or operational status of the vehicle) on various model year Hyundai and Kia vehicles.  During the PE investigations, Hyundai and Kia issued several recalls to address vehicle fires, including those due to engine failures involving various engine types.  The remedies for the engine failure recalls typically involve engine inspection (to detect existing damage), and if necessary, engine replacement.  Additionally, both manufacturers have been installing an engine control software modification known as Knock Sensor Detection Software (KSDS) which is intended to detect impending engine failure, alert the driver, and limit engine power (to lessen likelihood of engine failure).KSDS is being installed under recalls and non-safety field actions, and both companies have extended limited engine warranties (see recall files). On December 22, 2021, ODI upgraded PE19-003 and PE19-004 to this Engineering Analysis (EA21-003, covering both Hyundai and Kia) to evaluate the scope of the prior recalls related to engine failures/fires and the efficacy of the recall remedies for the recalls, as well as the long-term viability of related programs and non-safety field actions being conducted by Hyundai and Kia.  The former issue involved approximately 550,000 MY 2013 Hyundai Elantra, MY 2011 Kia Sorento, and MY 2012-2015 Kia Rio.  The latter issue involved approximately 2.5 million recalled vehicles, which have been identified as displaying potential remedy concerns: Hyundai recalls 15V-568, 17V-226, 20V-746, and 21V-727; and Kia recalls 17V-224, 19V-120, 20V-750, and 21V-844. Regarding the recall scope issue, among all of the scope vehicles identified at EA opening, ODI found only the MY 2011 Kia Sorento vehicles equipped with both the Theta II 2.4L 4-cylinder Multi-Point Injection (MPI) and the Lambda II 3.5L 6-cylinder MPI engines experienced relatively high rates of reported fires.  In December 2023, Kia issued recall 23V-877 that will cover about 80,000 MY 2011 Kia Sorento vehicles equipped with the Theta II 2.4L MPI engines.  The remedy will involve an inspection, and if necessary, a replacement of the engine, as well as the installation of KSDS.  It should be noted that in 2021 these vehicles were included in a KSDS product improvement campaign with warranty extension.  For the MY 2011 Sorento vehicles equipped with the Lambda II 3.5L engines, ODI believes that future engine failures/fires involving these vehicles will likely be due to a lax in adhering to the proper or scheduled engine maintenance (regular engine oil changes), rather than a design or manufacturing engine issue. Regarding the issue of the efficacy of the recall remedies, ODI found the majority of the recalled Hyundai and Kia vehicles, by model, experienced lower reported fire rates after the remedies were applied.  Furthermore, ODI found that for most vehicles that did not receive the recall remedies, by model, experienced relatively high fire rates.  To address this problem, Hyundai informed ODI in December 2023, that it will renotify all of its owners covered by the Hyundai recalls of engine failures/fires every 8 months for the next 3 years.  In December 2023, Kia stated that it will renotify the majority of its owners every 8 months for the next 3 years.Several previously recalled Kia models are excluded from the renotification due to their lower reported rates of engine fires.  Overall, the renotification actions will help to increase the recall completion rates, thus reduce the frequency of engine fires in the future. In view of the recall action being taken by Kia and renotification actions being taken by both Kia and Hyundai, ODI is closing this Engineering Analysis.  Also, both companies have been released from the 2020-iniated Consent Orders (Kia since November 2022 and Hyundai since November 2023).  The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances.  To review the reports cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.
