2014-2015 Kia Soul & Soul EV Recalled To Replace Breakable Accelerator Pedal - The Car Connection
Kia is recalling more than 200,000 Soul and Soul EV cars from the 2014 and 2015 model years. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the gas/accelerator pedal on those vehicles can break, increasing the risk of an accident. In its report, NHTSA notes that the component "may fracture due to bending of an unsupported section of the pedal if unanticipated excessive force is applied". Though that sounds like the sort of thing that might happen on long stretches of dull highway or at treacherous intersections, NHTSA says that "testing indicates that such force has only occurred when the vehicle is stationary".
