Passenger side front door lock would unlock intermittently initially for the first few years and now does not unlock at all when using the key fob and since there is no manual key-lock cylinder anywhere except on the driver-side door, this front door cannot be opened until after the driver's door is opened.

All interior doors are nicked and scratched especially the front doors. The interior of my car looks like a ten year old car and this is a 2010 soul. Called kia many times and they just continue to tell me they are working on it. I have had my car for a year and a half already! I want the panels replaced with a higher quality product. Also have noticed when I drive on rough road or hit bumps or holes the car seems to loose control a bit. Like it skips across the road and I can't stop it. I can't seem to steer it for that brief second.

Kia soul 2010 purchased in march 2010. The clips to my front bumper have all broken and it was glued on so it will stay on until our mechanic put bolts to hold it better. Dealership would not fix it since they stated I was in an accident, but I was not in one. The bumper started falling off before 10,000 miles. There are no dents or dings in the front bumper area. The anti-lock brakes locked up after I had by foot on the brakes for an extended amount of time. This happened at about 11k miles. The transmission does not always shift when it should. The brake relay was fixed by the dealership. The brakes did have a small fire when I moved it not realizing it was the brakes. I assumed the transmission was going due to other issues we were having with the vehicle. The side wall of my tire (nexen) had a huge hole after they blew at about 7500 miles. The dealership did not balance or align my car properly. I also have been told that they are to hurry oil changes and other repairs by not completing all the proper checks because there is not enough mechanics.

The 2010 soul had a major failure when it impacted a tree at 10 MPH. There were no leaking fluids, signs of smoke or fire. The vehicle caught fire roughly 15 minutes later and burned totally up before fire crews could get there to put it out. The origin of the fire was between the engine and the fire wall. I feel as though the safety bumpers that are required by law to work bellow the 15 MPH constraint are under designed.

I have 2010 kia soul that I bought in april 2009. The problem is that in the interior is very easily damaged. The interior plastic is of low enough quality that when getting in and out of the car one's fingernails can cause a scratch. I take care of all my vehicles and armor all the interiors regularly, but even though the interior looks like a 20 year old car. I already contacted kia 8 months ago and they told me I would hear back from them with a solution for the first run should interior problem in q1 2010. I have contacted them many times since then and all I have gotten back is that they have received my complaint and are working on a fix.

I purchased a 2010 kia soul ! On 12/31/2009 and within 2 months I noticed 10 -12 paint chips on the front and hood of the car. I drive in a city that only see some snow and some salted. Salted roads should of not caused this much paint chipping. I added a paint protection film to the front of the car at a cost of $587 to protect my investment. Later I learned that this is a problem with this model. Contacted kia consumer affairs about the issue to and asked to register the compliant, they stated they have never heard of the issue. I asked them to help over the cost of the protection system, they stated they would only do that if the dealer installed it, which my was not. I would like to see that the paint issue is corrected and conpensated for the cost I spent on the protection film.

The inside door panels on both sides of the car are full of scratches. The plastic panels scratch too easily even with extra careful use, the panels look like they are 10 years old.
