2011 Kia Soul 4dr Hatch
142-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD
| 77602 mi | Dealer replaced hose clamps that were weak, cleaned up the leaked A/T fluid - hopefully, that would stop the leaking. Done at no charge, given the earlier service. One more try - replaced all Transmission/Radiator hoses. Still didn't do it - new radiator would be over $600, and the leak is VERY slow - so not sure it's worth it - still an open issue. |
| 70006 mi US $381 |
Transmission fluid leak was noticed at an earlier regular oil change. Appeared to be from the lines cooling the automatic transmission fluid. No known damage to the car that would have caused it, unless from the "extra undercoating" applied by the previous dealer under a service campaign. We thought that the steps taken - sealing of transmission pan, and replacement of A/T hoses would fix. I initially thought all OK, until I parked in the garage and noticed that the leaking was continuing. We came to a compromise - not sure exactly where the leak was coming from, they resealed the transmission pan under the vehicle warranty, and I paid for the replacement of the transmission lines. Probably too much. But we'd see if it worked. |
| 77602 mi | Dealer replaced Automatic Transmission hoses at no charge, given earlier work. Now we see if it's still leaking. Brought the car back a couple of weeks later, and yes, it sill was. |
| 77500 mi US $100 |
Installed another part (I'm blanking) - and no, it still didn't fix things. Next step would require new radiator - concerned that somehow, the connection into the radiator is damaged. No sense of why/how, but it is still leaking slowly. A/T fluid levels remaining within normal limits a month later, so going to hold tight. Not sure I want to spend the quoted $600 on it! |
| 7000 mi | TSB-033 was needed for hesitation from excessive transmission loading the motor at low speeds. |
| 8000 mi | Rear axle was bent during shipment from Korea. Part was ordered and replaced. |
