| Description of the problem | This is an update to what i previously reported. There is currently only a recall for the base model of the kia soul but this is affecting the + and ! Models of this vehicle as well and 19v120000 recall definitely needs to be extended to cover all engines in all models of this vehicle, the 2. 0l gdi. As previously mentioned in my prior complaint, my vehicle was well maintained and while driving my car made a loud noise and lost power and began to slow down. No warning lights displayed on my vehicle. It was discovered that the rod had pierced through the engine block causing the oil to leak. This is urgent that this recall is extended to the 2. 0l engine. |
