Had the 2012 Kia Soul which had a open recall which there is no remedy according to Carfax. My Kia started acting up with the electronics,the AC was not working. Took it to a Kia dealership they said the AC didn't need recharged I let them know of the Open Recall which they knew about. Also they let me know that it was not really fixable unless they replace the fuses but they looked great. Open Recall on the 2010-2014 models of Kia and that is the HECU fuse. Would never buy a Soul again.

We bought a Kia Soul in 2013. Yes, it was a nice car and I really liked it, but there were a lot of downsides. 1. Cheap material inside, so difficult to keep clean. 2. The seats are not very comfortable, especially if you travel far. 3. The trunk is very small. 3. Oil kept disappearing. I ended up having to check the oil weekly. 4. The engine died after only 130,000 km (10 years)! While the Kia Soul had its appeal, these factors are worth considering for anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable car for long-term use.

I own a Kia Soul 4U,2013 Good thing I bought the extended warranty, one month before it was up my engine needed to be replaced. two years later ( one week ago) my car started loosing power and skipping and stalling, Guess what, my engine needs to be replaced. I will find out tomorrow is Kia will honor the repair. There is a few class action laws suits regarding certain Kia engines and the 2013 is included . Yes its roomy and cute but I would never buy a Kia Soul again
