The engine (piston rings) and catalytic converter failed. The catalytic converter is available for inspection upon request.  How was safety put at risk?  The engine ran low on oil without any external leak, causing warning lights and engine rattling. Low oil pressure can lead to sudden engine seizure or fire. The failed catalytic converter can clog, causing loss of power on highways and increasing the risk of a crash.  Has the problem been confirmed by a dealer or independent shop?  Yes. A Kia dealer found the engine 2 quarts low, with no external leak, and recommended replacing the catalytic converter at a cost of over $6,000. An independent mechanic confirmed code P0420, which indicates catalytic converter failure.  Has the vehicle been inspected by the manufacturer?  The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Kia dealer, but they did not complete the required inspection for Recall SC336 (defective piston oil rings). They did add the software.  Were there warning lamps or other symptoms?  Yes. The oil pressure warning light and other dashboard lights came on. The engine made a rattling noise. The vehicle later felt sluggish on acceleration, fuel economy dropped, and the exhaust developed a smell. The check engine light came on and later turned off, but code P0420 was stored in the system.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2021","productMake":"KIA","productModel":"SOUL","manufacturer":"Kia America, Inc."}]}]}
