2014 Kia Sorento. Consumer writes seeking reimbursement for vehicles repairs made related to an open recall. *LD

Approx. 38000 miles on vehicle. Approx. 25 miles ago the ABS and the “anti skid” lights came up on the dashboard. Approx. 15 miles ago the TPMS light came on, flashed then steady. (Checked tires at a repair shop, no low tire pressure). I checked my owners manual, not an “urgent” or “immediate” situation, but contact the dealer. Through NHTSA website saw a recall and TSBs for these issues. Kia dealership saying recall isn’t for my vehicle, and the TSBs are not covered under my extended warranty. If these issues are a safety issue, should they not be covered? I just want to document these issues, the Kia dealership (Gettel in Bradenton, Fl) and KIA customer service, if something happens, damages my vehicle or causes, creates an incident I want a record to exist. Am I in danger, are other motorists?

My brake lights won’t go off unless I press the brakes and emergency blinking lights. My vehicle is stalling when I’m driving. It will just start decreasing speed like it’s trying to stop and I can only be doing 40mph. I can’t put in in gear from park if the car is still running. I have to cut it off and turn it back on to change gears and I don’t have to press the brake for it to come back on.

THE CAR STARTED TO SMOKE AND STOPPED RUNNING. THE ENGINE HAS A WHOLE IN IT. THE 2014 4 CYCLINDERS HAVE A RECALL. MINE IS A V6. SURPRISINGLY, A SIMILAR SITUATION JUST OCCURRED WITH MY CO-WORKER'S 2014 V6 SORENTO AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 KIA SORENTO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRICE KIA (1390 RICHMOND RD, CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA 22911) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE ROD BEARINGS NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RELATED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V224000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 146,000.

ONE DAY I HEARD A CLICKING WHILE DRIVING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I PULLED INTO TOWN AND SLOWED DOWN IT STOPPED. I HAD TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I STARTED TO GO I HEARD THE CLICKING AGAIN. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AGAIN GOING 65, MY ENGINE REDUCED POWER AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS BLINKING. WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AT THE STOP SIGN AND STARTED TO GO SO I COULD PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC IT HAD A HARD TIME GETTING POWER TO GO. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I AM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEN TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE, BUT FROM WHAT I AM READING ONLINE, IT SEEMS KIA HAS ALOT OF ENGINE ISSUES. FINGERS CROSSED ITS UNDER WARRANTY AND IT CAN BE FIXED AS I JUST SPENT $3000.00 6 MONTHS AGO FOR A NEW STRUT AND AN ENTIRE EXHAUST SYSTEM. I ONLY HAVE $129,000 ON THIS VEHICLE. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
