The 2010 Kia Soul is a headache-free car with just $466 annual repair costs.

There are, however, a few braking issues you should be aware of.

According to forum reports, the brake calipers in vehicles have some play or wiggle-room.

The caliper usually starts to rattle, and owners discover it isn't holding tightly.

Changing calipers isn't a difficult task, but without a torque wrench, it's best to leave it to the pros.

The owner reports that they did not know their brake lights were out until another driver informed them.

There was a recall for the issue in 2013.

Unfortunately, this recall might have left a few drivers uncovered.

NHTSA complaint reports that the rear brakes are not engaging after changing a flat tire.

In the complaint, the electric brakes did not kick in during a low-speed drive.

Braking issues are few but potentially quite serious.

The best way to stay safe: check your VIN to see if you were covered in the recall.
