2015 KIA SORENTO Complaints

2015 KIA SORENTO WITH 44,000 MILES. ON THE FREEWAY AND THE MOTOR LOCKED UP. TOAST. KIA COVERING BUT HAS LESSER VALUE AND THEY KNEW THIS MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE

I HAVE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL/WIRING PROBLEM. WHENEVER IT RAINS OR I GO TO THE CARWASH, I AM GUARANTEED TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHT, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHT TO GO OUT BECAUSE IT GETS WET. ALSO, I HAVE A BAD VIBRATION IN MY FRONT WHEELS WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS REPLACED WITH NEW ROTORS AS WELL AS BRAKES. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES REBALANCED AND ROTATED AND IT STILL VIBRATES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ISSUES. THE VIBRATION DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, IT VIBRATES WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE SPEED, IT WILL VIBRATE.

CLEAR COAT COMING OFF THE FRONT BUMPER. I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR AND BOUGHT IT OFF THE LOT.

'TAKATA RECALL' MY DRIVERS SIDE BACK DOOR QUIT OPENING!! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF I GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND NEEDED TO USE THAT DOOR TO GET OUT I COULDN'T. NOT TO MENTION MY CHILDREN CANNOT USE THAT DOOR TO ENTER OR EXIT MY VEY ANYMORE. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED BUT I HAVE SEEN VIDEOS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER KIA SORENTOS ON LINE. I WILL NOT FIX THIS ON MY OWN I FELL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE BEHALF OF KIA. I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR I BOTH IT BRAND NEW IT'S A 2015 MODEL. THIS HAPPENED APROXMENTLY 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO REPORT IT UNTIL NOW. I ALSO FELL THIS IS WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON IT YET BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO REPORT. THANK YOU.

I WAS ACCELERATING ON TO A ON RAMP TO INTERSTATE 405 WHEN HE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO BLINK AND CAR LOSING POWER AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR ALSO PROCEEDED TO MAKE AN ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE AND I EXITED THE HIGHWAY TO GET OFF AND GOT IT TOWED . THE CAR HAS 51, 800 MILES AND I AM ORIGINAL OWE WE AND HAVE HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE .

WE WERE HEADED BACK FROM VACATION , JUST GOT INTO THE LITTLE TOWN OF PROVINCE LOUISIANA, AND THE MOON ROOF JUST EXPLODED ! THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS AROUND US NO DEBRIS! WE WERE DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY.THE NOISE WAS SO LOUD IT SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN WENT OFF IN THE CAR , WE NEARLY RAN OFF THE ROAD !

CAR STARTED MAKING KNOCKING NOISES FROM ENGINE AND GOT LOUDER AS MY HUSBAND ACCELERATED. CAR THEN HESITATED TO ACCELERATED AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. THIS IS DANGEROUS!

I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, I ACCELERATED TO PASS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND WHEN I CAME AROUND THE CAR, ABOUT 60 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON. THE ENGINE LOST ALL POWER, EVEN THOUGH THE AIR AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE CAR CONTINUED TO FUNCTION. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND TRIED TO RESTART IT, NOTHING HAPPENED. LUCKILY SOMEONE I KNEW WAS DRIVING BY AND STOPPED TO HELP ME. THE FIRST THING HE DID WAS CHECK THE OIL AND IT WAS FULL, IT WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 200 MILES. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF ANY TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MY CAR PREVIOUS TO THIS. REGULAR MAINTENANCE WAS DONE AND IT IS AT 74,000 MILES. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP NEAR MY HOME AND AS I FEARED, THE MOTOR WAS SEIZED. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING, I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH LESS THAN 70,000 MILES ON IT LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO. THE MAIN REASON I PURCHASED IT WAS BECAUSE KIA IS KNOWN AS A RELIABLE CAR WITH AN AMAZING WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT WHILE SIGNING THE PAPERS THAT THE WARRANTY IS NOT PASSED ON THE ANOTHER OWNER AND THAT IT WAS ONLY VALID TO 60,000 MILES, WHICH THE CAR WAS ALREADY PAST. I DECIDED TO PURCHASE ANYWAY BECAUSE EVERYONE I KNOW THAT OWNS A KIA HAS NEVER HAD TROUBLE WITH THEIR VEHICLE. THE PRICE OF A NEW MOTOR IS GOING TO BE $5500. I AM DEVASTATED AND TRUSTED THAT KIA WOULD NOT SELL A VEHICLE KNOWING THAT THERE ARE SUCH CATASTROPHIC ENGINE PROBLEMS. ALTHOUGH THE SITUATION IS BAD, IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO WHERE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A REST ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

MY 2015 KIA SORENTO JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING NO ISSUES. SERVICED REGULAR. STILL HAS ANOTHER 2000 MILES BEFORE AN OIL CHANGE IS NEEDED. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY MAIN ROAD. TURNED SIDEWAYS. THANK GOD I DID NOT GET ON THE TURNPIKE BEFORE THIS HAPPENE!
