Just to follow up. Since the updates, the vehicle range has now been predictable based on the kw per 100 and the weather. All is well.

Hmmm, so you are saying bad is normal for these Kia's. That sucks.

Went see the dealer, there was an update for the 12 volt battery issue, hopefully that was the issue. Also another update that corrected how the range was calculated. After the update my range went from 134 km to 162 km. Same day

Well, today the 12 volt battery is stone dead. I am looking forward to getting out of this purchase one day. Constant issues with this thing.

The dealer decided to have another look at my vehicle, they don't believe Kia Canada either. After more test driving they decided to change what they referred to as the "brain". That would be the second time. It is a box the size of a thick briefcase on top of the motor. I get new key fobs every...

Well I have the scanner, not sure how to check the battery yet. Also not sure how to upload the ELM327 photo, or any photo. The dealer had the car for the day for some tests. They said that Kia Canada suggested we change our driving habits. So 108km is normal for a 7 month old 2017 Kia Soul...

Okay, thanks. I did chose from the list. As I have things figured out I will post the result.

Unless something has changed, you should get an 8 year warranty on the EV components, 5 year on the rest of the car in Canada. As for components failing, mine started failing after 30 days and its not getting any better. Unfortunately, once you buy one and accept the rebate you are committed...

I should have the scanner by Wednesday, what does the ELM327 identifier tell me? The 100% charge seems to be steady at 107km now.

I bought front and rear from the dealer, front ones fit perfect, rears were not usable. Mine is a 2017, the rocker panel is different on the older EV's that we compared.

Thanks for the responses. I think I will order a reader. I'm from Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada. Daily drive is just under 60km.

Sudden drop in vehicle range at 100% charge. On Monday the range was 160km, Tuesday 120km, Wednesday 120km, Thursday 113km, Friday 106km. No change in weather or driving habit, same route every day. Average KW/100km was 14.1. Talked to the dealer but they are in over their head with these cars...

An update, quite overdue I guess. The vehicle has been fine for four months now. I don't really have a clear answer of what was done but it sounds like they robbed modules from a working vehicle to get mine working. After a few months of discussion about how to make things right for the...

Yes, I think they made a poor choice as well. No from Kia Canada one has made an attempt to even talk to me. My next vehicle will be electric but not a Kia. I have the car back, three days later EV light again. Apparently they forgot a calibration after changing the module. The module needs to...

I did get a rental, we also made them pay for the gas since our cars are electric and we don't buy gas. Apparently it is ready to be picked up today. I was told that all attempts of replacing individual modules failed so Kia instructed the dealer to strip a new vehicle off the lot and put a set...

Follow up; Kia Canada now says part available by Feb 14. They seem to think this is acceptable. :roll:

You may be right about the broader issue. I had a discussion with the dealer on Friday, it sounds like there is no fix at this point but one is being worked on that will be applied to many vehicles, not just mine. Some of the errors I have had, others have had too. I brought mine to the dealer...

It started out with a charging issue for the 12 volt battery, they swapped a module from another car and that problem was fixed. This happened before I took delivery and was not aware of it until much later. Next issue was the ev light coming on as well timed charging could not be programmed...

Had my 2017 Soul EV for 9 weeks now, issues since day one. they have swapped parts ordered some incredibly expensive controller from Korea, now they have ordered another part from Korea, meanwhile it sits. Unfortunately no lemon laws in Ontario Canada and no parts in North America.

Tried the switch in both positions, no luck.
