It was first noticed about three years ago and has been getting progressively worse. As of June 2023 it consumes a full oil tank in about 2500 miles.  Oil warning indicators flash very briefly on occasion but the light does not come on until the oil is below the dipstick. I have had it looked at by my local mechanic and by the Kia dealer who sold the car.  The Kia dealer did a test and said it did not meet their standards for a recall. There have been a number of times that the oil has gotten so low without indicator warning that the engine will start running rough.  on 11/04/22 the engine began bucking and stopped running at high speed.  It was brought to the dealer who stated \"Active DTC P0300 and P0303. Swapped Cylinder 3 coil pack and cylinder 1 coil pack. Misfire followed. No signs of cylinder damage\".  They replaced four spark plugs and Cylinder 1 coil pack.  They stated that the cause of the issue was inconclusive and they didn't think related to oil consumption. I have recently receive notice of a proposed class action lawsuit from \"Kia Engine Class Settlement, POBOX 4133, Portland, OR, 97208-4133 1-800-944-1025.  I confirmed that the VIN for this vehicle is included in the proposed case.  It states very similar issues with many kia vehicles with the same engine.  The lawsuit states \"class vehicles have a defect that can cause engine seizure, stalling, engine failure, and possibly engine fire, and that some owners and lessees have been improperly denied repairs under the vehicle's warranty.\"","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2014","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SOUL","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
