hope you got her fixed up... had a similar issues pulled my alt and gave her a deep CLEAN and working again but ordered this up [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M01GQ3C?ref=ppx\\_yo2ov\\_dt\\_b\\_fed\\_asin\\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M01GQ3C?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) exact part number from mitsu cross referenced. EXACT FIT AND WORKS LIKE A CHAMP now to have the OEM rebuilt and have it as a spare
Pros: exact fit, works great
Vehicle:

+1 for Denso. Friend of mine got a used Mitsubishi alternator for his Murano with slightly higher Amp rating (doesn't matter, just means it will handle load better).
Pros: handle load better
Vehicle:
Nissan Murano
I Had a 200k mile 2011 Soul and didn't have any major issues. 3k mile oil change, 3-5 yr battery change, some tire change, alternator replaced at 190k.
Pros: no major issues
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
I bought my alternator from RockAuto and the Mitsubishi one **IS** the OEM part
Pros: OEM part, quality belt
Vehicle:

Mitsubishi made a heap of OEM parts for other brands. Including alternators for Mazda lol. Also various electronic modules too.
Pros: OEM parts for Mazda
Vehicle:
Mazda 323
I have a 2013 Soul !. Got it about 2 years ago. Very reliable, only had one issue and that was the alternator going out on me a few weeks ago. 182k miles on it. It doesn\u2019t consume oil at the same pace others mention. It does currently idle a little rough, but Not terribly.
Pros: very reliable
Cons: rough idle
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
Mileage: 182000 km

My then 97 Lancer GSR broke down in the middle of a highway on my way due to alternator and throttle body issues.
Cons: alternator issues
Vehicle:

Garage told me the next day I need a new alternator.
Vehicle:
Kia
I would suggest the genuine Kia one, or a professional grade like NAPA's top line or an AC-Delco. I would avoid anything that says "USA Industries" or "Duralast" on it, based on personal experience. In our shop we have had nearly 100% failure rates with those brands.
Pros: genuine Kia, AC-Delco, NAPA
Cons: USA Industries, Duralast
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Part number: 3730038400RU
