Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 Soul
Despite a few difficult aspects, the 2011 Kia Soul Plus is a very easy car to maintain. Accessing the headlight is easy, as you only have to reach behind the bulb housing for access. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of this vehicle. This keeps the jack kit and tire ready to go in case of emergency. Checking the transmission fluid level is easy, as the transmission dipstick is easily accessible in the engine bay.
Some things are tougher to maintain on the 2011 Kia Soul Plus. You will have to remove the glove box in order to access the cabin air filter. This involves many steps and requires tools you may not have readily available for repair. The battery bracket is a little different than it is on other cars. While not overly difficult, there are extra bolts you will need to remove in order to remove the battery. In order to access the fog light, you will have to remove a panel beneath the vehicle. This requires you to crawl underneath the vehicle, and use a few tools, in order to access it.
