Problems with less than 5k miles on it

I have a 2023 Kia Soul with less than 5,000 miles on it. Within a few days of owning the car, I noticed a clunking around under the baseboard driver’s side at every stop sign. Took it in to be serviced and was told something was loose and it has been fixed. Within weeks of owning the car, I was backing out of our driveway, and suddenly my car decides to apply the emergency brakes, make loud noises, and abrupt shaking. Scared the crap out of me. There were no collision risks. I took it in two separate times for the automatic emergency braking malfunction while going 1 mph in reverse, and they told me no issues were detected. This problem still happens from time to time and it still scares the crap out of me. The motion is so jerky, I don’t know how it couldn’t and there are still no collision risks around when it happens. Then the electric controller for idle stop and go oil pump was recalled. This recall is a fire risk and says not to park in your garage or near a building as it can catch fire while vehicle is on or off. I took the car in to have the recall serviced. They confirmed it needs to be serviced but didn’t have the part and would contact me when it came in. A couple of weeks later I took the car back in for the recall and when they were done servicing the vehicle, I drove it home. On the drive home it sounded a bit like a wind-up toy car when I hit the gas. I thought maybe that’s how it was supposed to sound with the fixed oil pump. The next morning I started the car and it made a very loud winding sound like the belts were in overdrive and if I kept it on, something was going to overheat. I turned off the car and will be taking it back in to get serviced, although they might need to come pick it up this time. Prior to the recall, the eco boost feature had worse gas mileage than not using it. I haven’t been using it since the recall notice was delivered. On a positive note, I really like how the car looks and how the interior feels. I am so bummed about the other issues.

What can I say? This is my signature vehicle. Styling is fun with a little funk, so comfortable, gas mileage is outstanding and these vehicles are incredibly safe. I cannot recommend the Kia Soul enough. Go test drive one and you’ll see. The value you receive with so many features that come standard.

I have the Mars Orange which has a lot of red in the paint and doesn't look like a pumpkin. Not a speedster but peppy enough. Sport mode helps. Apple Car play is a good feature for streaming from an iphone. I would have gotten the EX but the dealer who had one was charging 10% over MSRP. No thanks. I bought the cargo floor option which elevates the rear storage and covers all the junk I carry around. It also makes the cargo surface flat when folding down rear seats. Overall a nice handling vehicle at a pretty reasonable price.

The Kia Soul is a unique blend of utility, style and economy in an affordable package. I am currently on Soul #6. 2023 LX). All have been base models. The manufacturer has made constant improvements on a yearly basis to this car over 12 years. Gas mileage has improved with each car. I’m currently getting 30 mpg in normal driving and 37 mpg on my interstate driving. All things considered, Kia Soul is a smart, efficient way to roll. 5 stars across the board.

Replaced my base 2018 Kia Soul with fully loaded 2024 Kia Soul GT-Line after 6 years and 25,000 trouble free miles. I was particularly interested in the extra features that came with the Technology Package. I’m a six foot tall guy and the ergonomics of this vehicle given its subcompact size category suits me very well. The safety features such as front collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert help me operate the vehicle safely. The redesigned front and rear along with upgraded interior is styling.
