I’ve been a car enthusiast for years and recently did some research on various car issues, including the alarming reports about Kia engines catching fire. From what I’ve found, affected models include certain years of the Kia Sorento, Optima, Sportage, and Soul. The main cause seems to be issues with the engine’s fuel system and potential oil leaks. Kia has issued recalls and recommended safety measures like parking outside until repairs are made. Staying updated on recall notices and getting your vehicle checked by a dealer are crucial steps to ensure safety. Always keep an eye on your car’s performance and address any unusual signs immediately. Stay safe!

I had issues with my 2014 Kia Soul, and the engine started making strange noises. After the recall, I learned that the problem was due to a defect in the engine components. It’s frustrating that such serious issues were overlooked during manufacturing.

Kia’s handling of the engine fire issue has been impressive. They provided a free engine replacement and extended my warranty, which gave me reassurance. It is reassuring to see them taking responsibility and addressing the problem.
