I’m curious if anyone has reached out to Kia customer service about this problem? I’m considering it but unsure if it would help.
I did and they listened but didn’t offer much. They said that they weren’t aware of widespread issues, though that seems hard to believe!
Honestly, I thought my car was just a dud. Glad to see I’m not alone here. I’ve been thinking of trading it in for a different model. Has anyone else considered this?
I thought about it too, but I love the car! It’s just the transmission that’s the issue. What model would you consider swapping to?
I’d switch to a Honda HR-V. I’ve heard great things about their reliability. Anyone else traded their Soul for a different vehicle?
Great suggestion! I’ve heard good things too, but I’m trying to stick it out. Maybe it will get better? Fingers crossed!
If anyone has ideas on DIY diagnostics, I’d appreciate it. I’m ready to tackle this problem head-on instead of just taking it to the shop.
You could check the error codes via an OBD-II scanner. That helped me pinpoint some issues before I took it to the mechanic.
