2012 KIA SOUL Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1722420
Internal NHTSA #	11394588
Manufacurer	Kia Motors America
Brand	KIA
Model	SOUL

File date	28/01/21
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Within ten minutes of driving the car, it stalls when stopped at lights, stop signs, etc., geared in drive and low idle under normal driving conditions. When restarted it proceeds at a slow crawl and will not accelerate or will accelerate normally in 15 to 30 seconds. Had oil, oil filter and engine air filter replaced but did not correct the problem. Engine light comes on when it stalls. After six times of dying and not accelerating, it is now parked in driveway and fear it is too dangerous to drive. These incidents happened within one week with no prior operation issues. I have read countless complaints on this issue from other kia soul owners but no resolves, just astronomical repair bills with no fixes and no help from kia, dealerships or the government.
