2012 Kia Soul 4dr Hatch
164-horsepower 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 78000 mi | The transmission was diagnosed defective after a complaint of being hard to shift into gear. Transmission was replaced under warranty. |
| 78000 mi US $145 |
After the transmission replacement reported earlier the transmission was still hard to shift into gear. Further diagnosis led the tech to determine that the problem was the shift cable.(that was what I thought it was all along). Replacing the cable fixed the issue. The only cost was for the part as they said the car had been tied up enough. |
| 8000 mi | Car would hesitate when you give it gas at a light, or turning also engine light came on. 1st time I took it in they couldn't find anything wrong. 2nd time the found a odd code in computer. It's still hesitates but not as bad |

Also replaced a leaking PCV valve on the transmission. Handles like new and improved gas milage bonus. An OK repair at 155,000 km. |

Had to reset the "adaptive driving" setting as car was shifting hard. |
