2014 KIA SORENTO Complaints

VEHICLE IS NOT BEING DRIVEN BECAUSE THE AXLE IS BUSTED. WE ARE NOT SURE WHY HIS HAPPENED. WHEN I DRIVE THE SORENTO, IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT VERY STRONG. I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT TAKES FORT THAT TO HAPPEN, BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR REACHES A FULL STOP. ALSO, WHEN I MANEUVER AND MAKE. TURN TO THE LEFT, IT SOUNDS LIKE IT POPS. IT'S A SCARY FEELING.

THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HECU) ASSEMBLY CONTROLS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM(ABS) ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM (ESC) AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM (TCS) IN YOUR VECICLE. BRAKE FLUID MAY LEAK INTRNALLY INSIDE THE HECU,WHICH,OVERTIME,CAN RESULT IN AN ELETRICAL SHORT.AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE HECU INCREASES THE RISK OF AN ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE. KIA SAYS THEY INSPECTED THE UNIT INDICATED"NO ELECTRICAL DRAW AT THIS TIME". I WOULD PREFER THE UNIT BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE.

CAR STARTED MAKING KNOCKING NOISE WITH LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING ON 45MPH ROAD. CHECKED OIL, NO OIL. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME IN DASH PRIOR OR CURRENTLY INDICATING LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE OF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

THE PAINT IS PEELING IN LARGE PIECES FROM THE HOOD AND DOORS. IT HAPPENED BOTH TIMES JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE ARE SEVERAL SPOTS ON THE VEHICLE THAT ARE BUBBLING AND WILL EVENTUALLY PEEL AS WELL.

I OWN A KIA SORENTO, PEARL WHITE, 2014, WHICH JUST RECENTLY STARTED TO CHIP AND NOW PEEL THE PAINT ON THE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. ITS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS MOVING. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY ONLY TOLD ME WARRANTY IS UP, NOTHING WE CAN DO. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 85000 MILES ON IT RIGHT NOW. I ALSO HAVE A LITTLE SPOT CHIPPED ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR. I HAPPEN TO CATCH 2 PIECES OF PAINT IN MY YARD. ITS NOT JUST LITTLE PIECES THAT COME OFF, ITS REALLY LIKE SNAKE SKIN PEELING IN BIGGER PIECES AND ITS GETTING REALLY BAD.

THIS CAR HAS HAD NUMEROUS RECALLS INCLUDING A MAJOR ONE IN WHICH THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE (THEY DID IT ON THIS CAR). NOW I HAVE THE ABS, ESC AND TIRE PRESSURE LIGHTS ON (WITH TIRE PRESSURE AT THE CORRECT READINGS) WHICH I BELIEVE IS RELATED TO THE LATEST ABS RECALL THEY HAD. UNFORTUNATELY, MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON MARCH 2013, THEIR LATEST ABS RECALL (WHICH MAY START A FIRE) ONLY INCLUDES THIS MODEL AND YEAR STARTING JUNE 2013. I BELIEVE, MY CAR SHOULD ALSO QUALIFY FOR THIS RECALL. THANK YOU

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE DIFFERENT BULBS (LED AND HALOGEN), WITH NO CHANGE. THEY ARE DIM ENOUGH THAT THERE IS A SHADOW OF MY CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHEN THERE IS ANOTHER CAR BEHIND ME AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 KIA SORENTO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S AND DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WERE REPLACED SIX TIMES. ALSO, THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE ACCENT LIGHT LOCATED ABOVE THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED AND NO LONGER WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES HOWEVER, NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

THE SKIRTING AROUND MY SEAT HAS BEEN BROKEN SINCE ABOUT 2015. THIS WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW THE SEAT IS NOT ADJUSTING CORRECTLY CAUSING IT TO BE HARD TO REACH THE PEDALS SOMETIMES.

LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. UNABLE TO SEE PAST 5 FEET IN FRONT. CAN'T TELL WHEN THEY ARE ON MOST TIMES.
