What are some common issues with the Kia Soul's powertrain?

I have a Kia Soul and I have been experiencing some issues with the powertrain. It's been making strange noises and sometimes feels like it's struggling. I've tried researching online but there seems to be different opinions. Can anyone provide some insight?

It sounds like you may be dealing with a faulty transmission or engine issue. I suggest taking your Kia Soul to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic to pinpoint the issue.

I have had the same issue with my Kia Soul and it turned out to be a faulty fuel pump. It's a common issue with these vehicles and can be easily fixed by a mechanic.

I have a Kia Soul and haven't had any powertrain issues, but I always make sure to get regular maintenance done and use high quality oil. That could be a factor in preventing any potential issues.
