What Owners Say
"Sometimes the car doesn't recognize the key even after replacing the battery"
Anonymous, NJ (2018 Kia Soul Plus 2.0-L 4 Cyl)"There is a common electronic control module that failed and was difficult to locate and replace. It also activated the warning light but my car was out of service almost three weeks for this repair because of part unavailability."
Anonymous, AZ (2018 Kia Soul 1.6-L 4 Cyl turbo)"It's happened 2 times. I drive somewhere, doesn't seem to matter how far. When I stop and put the car in Park, and try to turn off the car, the key gets stuck on ACC. The first time it happened, i just jiggled it and shifted in and out of Park several times, and the key came out. Today, that didn't work. So i left the car running as I unpacked the car. Then, when I tried it again, it slid out easily. So something funky is going on."
Anonymous, NM (2018 Kia Soul Unsure)"The so-called "engine warning light" is activated by a module for a host of problems and gives no useful information on how serious a problem you have. The module that activates this light is hard to get due to supply chain issues and causes a lengthy loss of use."

"2 years ago the left LED headlights would not turn on. I bought a replacement bulb but that did not fix it. At the dealership they said it was a known issue. I believe it was the "controller" for that headlight. This summer, 2024, it was 110 degrees F outside when we went for a drive. The left headlight would not come on. We tried several times within 4 hours to get the headlight to come on. The next morning, when it was cooler, the headlights worked fine; but later it got hot that day and the left headlight refused to come on. Since then it had not been that hot and the headlights work just fine."
