Kia Soul

"The same tail light kept failing"

"turn signal lights...when warm the clicking & lights speed up and then stop...first attempt to professionally fix failed...will repeat"

"I have had to replace many lightbulbs mostly in the last year and I wonder about the quality of the bulbs."

"The check engine light has been on almost since the first day of purchase. I have had a dealership try to fix said problem, as of this date it has not been fixed"

"Rt headlight became intermittent and I would have to jiggle the connection. It finally quit working and I had to have the blub and connector replaced. Had work done by my private mechanic at a cost of $82"

"Since purchasing the car in 2012, my headlights have needed replacement at least once a year, at one time I had 7 exterior lights out, I'm not sure why the headlights have burned out so often, but it drives me crazy"

"the high beam filaments in the headlights would blow out frequently and there was never a good explanation for it. The alternator and voltage regulator were even replaced, so we couldn't blame it on a voltage surge. Was there a wiring issue near the headlamps? on both sides of the car, that seems improbable. Finally, the passenger side lamp went dim but not out one morning, and the probable fixes ranged from an initial part at $360 to potential trail of fixes that could total $1500...… I traded the car that afternoon....."

"The headlights tend to go out every 4 or 5 months one at a time. They are replaced successfully but seem to go out when the potholes are the worst."

"Very expensive to have replaced. Over $250 to replace two headlights and two parking lights."

"The horn works intermittently, and the dealer can't find the problem. It's been looked at three times"

"Horn failed, replacement is not loud"

"Sometimes it does not work"

"The horn works intermittently, and has been troublesome for several years. The dealership has dragged their feet about fixing it. I took it to another repair shop and they said they would just replace it for about $165. The dealership never offered this option, only advised me to bring it in and leave it overnight. The horn doesn't operate if it's too cold, or too hot, or just right. Frustrating and unsafe."

"The remote didn't always work right away and when it finally did we couldn't always get the engine started without using the key in the door first. The interior starting button is VERY sensitive to several items (door locks/door open ,transmission i"

"My key fob stopped working. I could only open the driver's side with the actual key, and open the doors with the controls in the door. This did not include the hatch, so having this feature break down was a huge pain. I'm out of town right now and do not have access to my repair records, but the cost to fixing the issue was more expensive than I thought it would be. But I went about 2 weeks and had to get it fixed because it was really inconvenient."

"Key fob key snapped in half. No replacement is available. Annoying."

"Doesn't pair with anything."

"from time to time, the dashboard would lose segments of the display, these would go out, sometimes for minutes, sometimes for days.... never could trace this either, as it was random, not related to weather, temps or any other pattern."

"Lost fluid due to brake line failure"

"After more than 130,000 miles the original factory brakes needed to be replaced. It might just have been some of the pads, but after 8 years I thought it prudent to replace all four pads and rotors."

"Some type of corrosion caused the parking brake to lock the left rear wheel up after parking. This happened several times. Then the right rear wheel had rotational noises. Parking brake Parts were replaced. Cost $300"

"All brakes [rotors and pads] had to be replaced at about 35000km. This cost over $1000"

"front brake pads and rotors seemed to have worn much too prematurely"

"Was told at a dealer service that the brakes needed repair and parts replaced. Total cost was over $1000.00. Mileage was only 55,000 k"

"The car had less than 19,000 miles and required the complete change out of all 4 rotors and break pads due to very badly pitted rotors and both front breaks stuck in the breaking postion. I had taken this to the dealer many times and was told it was because I was not driving it enough. Since the change I do not drive it any more than before and have not had the same issues at all. I had issues with the face of the rotors being pitted and looking very uneven since I got the car"

"Previous description covers it all."

"Brake line burst, lost brakes"

"A brake pad broke off and was jammed in a caliper and it caused it to freeze up the back tire from turning in reverse.had to have it towed and breaks replaced."

"The rotors have to replied instead of being able to rotate them. The cost is expensive at about $400 to replace brakes and rotors."

"At times the phone would not pair with the Bluetooth. Required complete reset of phone and Bluetooth"

"I eventually was able to solve via Kia Soul Manual though the service people at 2 different dealerships were unable to fix the issue and told me it was a problem with my phone:( Apparently not as I persevered and after a couple of hours was able to connect with guidance from the manual given to me when I purchased the car. Resolved on my own. Disappointed Kia techs couldn't fix when obviously their manual helped me solve the problem!"

"One day the AM Band of the radio stopped working. Not a warranty item, so I'm living with it"

"The amplifier section of the radio lost its rear channels, only the front speakers work"

"Radio would stop playing and just make a soft high pitched ringing sound. Sometimes it would come back on by itself, sometimes it wouldn't."

"rear speakers have degraded in quality over past couple of years. sound is distorted and barely usable"

"The subwoofer on the premium sound system failed. Was replaced by the dealer, but not under warranty. A second door speaker on passenger front has also failed. It is yet to be repaired"

"Blown subwoofer. After market subwoofers would not fit space. Had to buy one from dealer that was 50% more expensive"

"Was the cell phone and bluetooth issue.... manual guided me to solve the problem and button to initiate a call on the steering wheel suddenly worked."

"Very difficult to get the bluetooth pairing to pick up voice commands"
