  1. Soul Problems (Gen 1)
    Hi Kia peeps - I have a 2019 Kia Soul. I was driving on the highway yesterday and went to slow down - pressed on the brakes slight and it slowed a bit but it felt like something disengaged - is the best way I can put it and it wouldnt slow down any more. The pedal did not go to the ground, was...
  2. Soul Problems (Gen 3)
    It doesn't happen every time, but often enough that I notice. Now that I've driven about 3k miles in my 2020 I've noticed a quick groaning sound when I take my foot off the brake. It doesn't seem to be a metal-on-metal sound because it's low pitched, but it definitely seems like moving parts...

    Time to change out the pads/rotors and shoes. The R1concepts ceramic pads I have on are O.K. I tend to go ceramic so I dont have clean the wheels all the time. Ive been looking around and see alot of talk about Hawk brake pads being good. How they stop you better etc.. They cost alot more...

    Was given a dealer price of $300 to completely flush the brake lines. Thoughts? Anyone had their lines flushed? Plan/hope to do myself to save the money.
  5. Soul Problems (Gen 1)
    When I hit my brakes, only the top brake light works. All my running, parking lights, reverse and turn signal lights work and light up when I turn them on. All 4 red bulbs work in the back, but wont light up brighter when I hit brakes. Only fuse I saw was for LH and RH tail lamps... there’s...

    Brake pads are running down at 30k already on my wifes 2016. I made the mistake of replacing mine on the 2011 with Duralast Pads from AutoZone. They squeel like crazy its highly annoying. Looked up dealership pads and they are 92.00 for the front which seems a bit excessive. Saw another...
  7. Soul Problems (Gen 1)
    Hi, I have a weird issue that is driving me crazy. Just had new "aftermarket" pads and rotors (from Autozone) installed in the front and right after, I get this strange snap type noise, only when the car is warm and has been driven for a bit to "heat up" brakes and when only going in reverse, I...

    I recently took my 2016 Kia Soul in for its routine oil change. While there, the service manager said that there was a problem with the front Brake piston that caused the brake pads to wear unevenly. Although, I had no brake problems, I agreed to replace the front Brake pads. 43000K miles and...

    I have 2 sets (i.e. 2 pairs) of EBC USR7525 slotted rear brake rotors for sale. I'm not 100% sure of which years they are compatible, but they were purchased for 2012 Soul + (plus), which has the internal drum parking brake inside these disc rotors. I had ordered a set of these, but when I...
  10. Soul Problems (Gen 2)
    Our driveway has a light slope to it. I’ll pull up to the garage, put it in Park, hand brake most of time too. I have to get out to manually lift garage door. When I get back in, I put foot on brake, release parking brake, put in drive, release brake. No gas or light gas pedal, when the hill...
  11. Soul Problems (Gen 2)
    2016 Kia Soul+ First happened two weeks ago while stopped in a parking lot. Foot on brake, car in drive, engine revved so hard that the car lurched forward only being stopped by my foot being jammed hard on the brake. Happened again later in the week while stopped at an intersection. Not as...
  12. Soul Problems (Gen 1)
    I was driving home this AM doing about 50mph and approached a red light. When I pressed on the brake hard it felt like the ABS kicked on and I was unable to stop as if I was driving on ice. Luckily I started to brake far enough back from the light that I eventually was able to stop in time. I...

    The rear brake pads not seem to be working. The front ones seem to do all the work. I understand front pads will be on a higher load. I drove for 30 minutes in traffic and checked how hot the rotors are.. front rotors are close to hot but rear rotors not even warm. We had replaced front rotors...

    Hi guys! My local Kia dealership is telling me that I'm nearly due for the break replacement on my 2015 Soul. They're saying that the rotors will be done as well. They're not saying my rotors are warped or damaged, etc. Just that they'll be done as part of the break job. I used to do my fair...
  16. Soul Problems (Gen 2)
    I've been noticing something odd. If I'm at a red light (stopped) and I accelerate hard I see the Parking Brake & Brake Fluid Warning Light appear then it turns off within a second or two. It's the only time I see it when I'm accelerating hard from rest/stop. Is that something I should get...

    Shop has had the car for two days. Fuses, bulbs are good. They said it’s not the brake switch. Anyone else experience this type of problem?

    I am attempting to tow my 2013 Kia Soul on a tow dolly (automatic transmission, so not four on the ground). I can wire tow dolly, but need some advice on wiring brake, turn signals from RV.

    Replaced Wife's Brakes on 2011 Kia Soul Sport Edition about 5-6 months ago. I have to do rear Brake Pads this weekend. Im not sure if the fronts are squeeling since I replaced or if the rears just need replaced and the squeel will go away. We Aren't into the rotors or anything but is there...
