How the heck does the filler cap come out? It's under a metal wing of the part above it and the flat spots of the filler plug I do feel don't allow the plug to move over far enough to clear it. I have dug through the forum but am coning up empty. No youtube videos I'm finding show the filler...

Hi there! I am a proud owner of a 2023 Soul LX. I really love the car and I think its great! The seating position is wonderful and can haul all the people I need it too! Although I have noticed a drawback. When I let off the gas the car feels almost like I am on the brakes or something? Is...

Hi, I often park on this hill (not the biggest incline) and I did so again yesterday, in the rain. To my surprise, when shifting from Drive to Reverse, the car moved far enough forward before hitting the gas to reverse. APPENDING EDIT: Did so even when going into "Park". From what I've read...

Hey everyone. I'm brand new here. I have a 2020 Kia soul GT turbo. It has 64k miles on it. I was driving my car one day and I felt the RPM's dip while I was hitting the gas. I thought "that can't be good." So I proceeded home as I was 0.5 miles away. I slow down to make the turn into my...

Hi, The short version: I had a dealer short-block rebuild on our 2012 Soul Exclaim done a few months ago. During a test drive with a potential buyer, we put the shifter in the 'manual' mode and started in the lowest gear, shifted into gear 2 at 5k rpm. The car sort of shuddered/missed, and the...

So my wife has a 2011 Kia Soul 2.0+, out of nowhere after leaving work, she stopped at a stop light with her foot on the brake, once the light turned green, she let her foot off of the brake, and tried to accelerate, but it wouldn't move.. Vehicle starts, RPM's meter works can use the shifter...

I am wondering what brand/type of transmission fluid to use when replacing ATF for 6 speed 2015 Kia Soul 1.6 engine also roughly how much fluid would be needed to replace the old fluid. I’ve been having a lot of issues with irratic shifting and money is an issue so I would rather try and fix...

Hey all my wife has a 2011 Kia Soul+ with the four speed auto, does anyone if it’s possible to swap a transmission from one of the newer gen models with the six speed auto to the 1st gen. After looking at both transmissions they look identical but I figured I’d ask before trying. Thanks

Since the soul is pretty much sold to the public as an automatic when you get the dct, then are the clutch packs covered by warranty? Or do they treat it as a normal wear and tear item like brake pads, and the customer is responsible. A lot of people look, drive, see it is an automatic and buy...

I have a 2018 Soul 1.6 Turbo, Technology Package, Wild Orange Edition, with the DCT. Great gas mileage and decent performance. But the 7-speed DCT is quirky. There are times after slowing down on the highway and then trying to accelerate, or when in stop and go traffic, the transmission goes...

I'm having the transmission oil changed in my 2010 Kia Soul in the hopes that its low, and that's what's causing it to slip out in 3rd & 4th when accelerated quickly. Every Transmission Mechanic I talk to acts like it's definitely a much bigger job. Anyone have this problem?? And what was the...

Hello everyone, I'm a senior citizen and I purchased this 2019 Kia Soul brand new. After 4 months they had to put a whole new transmission in it. That was a year-and-a-half ago and I've been having problems ever since. By the way this problem is it seems to sometimes slip especially when the...

I have been told it's a transmission issue, engine mount, wheel control arm... But no one could pin it down. Finally broke down and a couple metal heavy rings fell out (see pics) from underneath. Heavily covered in grease. Cars turns on and stays on. No engine lights. Revs fine in neutral...

Hi there, Brand new here, not a car guy, not mechanically inclined but I am hoping for some guidance. Switching out reverse lights as they weren't working. Replaced fuse and bulb, still nothing. Placed E brake on, put car in reverse, checked lights. That was about the extent of it. Possibly...

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...

We just bought Kia Soul 2010 with 131K mileage. While driving we noticed some constant rambling noise seems like coming from under carriage. There's also quite a vibration when we putting on brakes. What do you think a cause of that? Is it its transmission?

Hello all, I’m new here to the forum and have found myself in a bit of a situation with my soul. It’s a 2010 2.0 manual trans with 137,xxx miles and I noticed a while back that it started not wanting to go into 2nd gear every now and then. Well, last week the wife and I were on our way to...

Does anyone know what the automatic transmission oil pan bolt(not the drain bolt) torque specs are?

This evening, I replaced the trans filter with an OE filter, cleaned the magnets and put a bead of RTV silicone around the pan and refilled using KIA SPIII. After replacing the fluid and buttoning everything together, I started the car and put my foot on the brake and shifted through the gears...
