Okay, so it looks as though it will be awhile before I get my Soul EV back. Hoping I can change out the Sportage loaner for an EV. Have not enjoyed paying for Gas.

I assumed this might happen and was planning on doing a DC session but after Recall Software update only got 13 miles before Limp mode at 93% state of charge. Vehicle has been at Kia since Dec 14th. I am currently in a loaner 2024 AWD Sportage. I have put almost 5000 miles on the loaner...so...

I found the paperwork. AC compressor cost was $2144.42 My most recent AC repair was an AC refrigerant line that went bad and not the compressor. Total bill for all work done was $2131.17 $1421.00 was labor for the items Deductible of $100 was my out of pocket that visit...

My AC compressor was replaced when the drive unit was replaced for leaking coolant. I believe my extended warranty covered the cost for $100. I will try to find my paperwork to see what the "cost" was.

I did not get the "Limp" mode/HV warning...until after the recall software update.(SC267) If you didn't get the software update that is supposed to trigger HV warning/Limp mode then you most likely will not see said HV warning/Limp mode. I just passed the 1 month of Soul EV sitting at the...

My Soul EV is still in shop. Update was that they said Kia Engineers are trying to find a solution as New replacement batteries are still triggering the High-Voltage error and limp-mode. Sounds like the software fix isn't fully flushed -out. For clarity...I am not in the same predicament as I...

Horne Kia loaned me a 2024 Kia Sportage 2015 Soul EV is still with Horne Kia Service (since 12/14/2023) Been transporting cabinets and countertops with the Lightning during Christmas Holiday week. Have put a whole 18 miles on the loaner-Kia...hoping to change that soon* I am hoping to get...

Long story short: My 110499 mile 2015 Soul EV gave High Voltage warning and powered down (turtle mode max of 26mph) today at 94 miles remaining indicated range 81% ...13 miles driven. Full story: My battery was initially replaced at 36k miles on 1/14/2019...

My insurance company sent me a notice about the open recall for my Soul EV. Recall Notice states Remedy Not Yet Available But the PDF of NHTSA #23V218 Just states dealer notification on BMS Software update May 26, 2023. Has anyone received a BMS update or newer information regarding the...

*Correction I now have had such problems (I swear it was from a curious Cat that fatally crawled into the wheel well ...looked like claw marks on rubber boots/hoses and a dead cat was removed) I just had drive axle repaired as my 2015 Soul EV + was leaking in the driveway. A/C line from...

I used these bulb holder adapters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J5SCQ1I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_T5DICbVW9RY2F W/LED Bulbs to replace Low beam halogens in the projectors. I used these LED bulbs as they were $9.37 on sale when I ordered. Globled H7 200W 20000LM LED Headlight Bulb Conversion Kit...

On the Dealership paperwork that showed cost...papers that I had to sign saying Warranty covered cost(?) It had SoH% that showed up was 44%. Stating SoH was low enough to warrant repair. Vehicle had a Max of 67 miles when I bought it used in the fall, but the factory warranty is what swayed me...

Kia and Hyundai removed the server download links. Even though the old Canadian update website where you enter a canadian soul EV vin for the link no longer generates a link. @andrewplease If you are trying to get update, I would suggest calling Kia Customer Service and letting them know you...

@Glasswalker Where you using a 2016 UK download for the SD card update? The region specific Kia Motors modifiers are pretty code strict for updating. Ie cannot use Canadian software link to update NA or UK head units, nor can you use wrong model year, and for whatever reason NA seems to...
