| Description of the problem | My situation is happening everyday with my kia soul 2017 it constantly smokes, if fogs up my whole windshield when i turn the defroster on it smells like it's burning it is very fearful i don't go far i only have a eight mile drive to work and i go through this everyday and night. My worries are valid i feel because i have the 2. 0 engine and from what i've been reading this is the engine that has been causing all of the fires the popping sound has not stopped this is a second report for me and i am pleading for your company to please add 2017 kia soul to the recall list thank you. |
