Hi all. I'm active on the Soul EV Owners Facebook page, not here, but I came here to check out this thread and it is MAGNIFICENT. I thank you all for your detailed sharing. I'm commenting now to add a little bit of humor.
For a month I've had two unopened recall letters from Kia sitting on my desk. Why unopened? Because I have a 2016 with a battery replaced in 2021, before I bought the car used, so I don't know if the second battery is new or remanufactured. But I can get up to 150 miles of range hyper-miling in summer, so, do I want to get a new BMS and harness and then have my battery replaced? NO WAY! That's why I didn't open the dreaded recall letters. But fire sounds bad and reading this thread finally got me to open them, sure they were for SC267 and SC287. [Cue scary music.] I opened the first and it was for the parking brake! I opened the second it was also for the parking brake for my old, leased car!
Such relief!
I am sorry for all of you who are dealing with this ridiculous software situation, and I know I might get a new recall notice any day, but I hope some of you are at least amused by my story.
Good luck to everyone!
