2014 KIA SORENTO Complaints

HEADLIGHTS, ESPECIALLY LOW BEAM ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I CAN BARELY EVEN SEE THEM SHINING ON THE ROAD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT.

THE PAINT ON MY 2014 KIA SORENTO JUST STARTED BUBBLING UP AND PEELING OFF IN LARGE SWATHS ALL OVER THE ROOF, DOORS, HOOD, ECT. IT HAS NOW STARTED RUSTING EXTREMELY BAD ON THE ROOF AND AROUND THE TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD.

THIS PAINT IS PEELING OFF IN LARGE SHEETS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, STARTING ON THE WINDSHIELD SUPPORT AND NOW ABOVE THE SECOND ROW DOOR ON PASSENGER SIDE.

MY ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT 118,119 AND EQUIPPED WITH KNOCK SENSOR SAFTEY SOFTWARE TO AVOID ANOTHER ENGINE FAILURE. AT 139,505 MY KNOCK SENSOR SOFTWARE ACTIVATED WITH. NO ADVANCE WARNING AS I WAS MAKING AN ACCELERATED LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I WAS IN A STATIONARY POSITION WITH MY LEFT BLINKER ON JUDGING WHEN TO TURN LEFT IN FRONT OF WESTWARD MOVING TRAFFIC. AS I CHOOSE THE MOMENT TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE AND MAKE THE TURN IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC THE KNOCK SENSOR WAS ACTIVATED, PUTTING THE CAR IN LIMP HOME MODE NOT ALLOWING ME TO ACCELERATE TO SAFTEY. TWO CARS TRAVELING WESTBOUND HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS IN ORDER NOT TO HIT ME. I MADE IT TO THE MIDDLE LANE DIVING TRAFFIC AND THEN HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO GET IN OUT OF KNOCK SENSOR LIMP HOME MODE. THE SAFTEY EQUIPMENT INSTALLED TO KEEP ME SAFE IN-FACT DID THE OPPOSITE AND PUT ME IN HARMS WAY.

PEAR WHITE PAINT HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY BUBBLING AND PEELING OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. AREAS INCLUDE THE HOOD AND THE ROOF AREA NEAR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD

ENGINE IS MAKING VERY LOUD NOISE AND NOT DRIVABLE. WHEN TOOK TO KIA DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THAT SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED TO GDI 4 CYL ENGINE AND IT WAS RECALLED BUT NOT THE 6 CYL EVEN THOUGH THE PROBLEMS ARE THE SAME DUE TO MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I CALLED KIA AMERICA AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING.

I HAVE A 2014 KIA PEARL WHITE THAT HAS MAJOR PAINT PEELING ON DRIVERS/PASSENGER DOOR PANELS & HOOD. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. I HAD THIS CAR FOUR YRS & IT STARTED AFTER THE FIRST YR. CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 KIA SORENTO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT STARTED SMELLING FUMES INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE, SHE CONTINUED TO SMELL THE FUMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED WHILE IN USE THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS LEAKING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS ASSOCIATED WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V907000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE). THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,700,

MY 2014 KIA MY A CLICK SOUND AND IT HAD STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY PULLED OVER TO SAFETY AND IT STOP

MY HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO BLOW OUT EVERY 2 MONTHS, NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF BULB I REPLACE THEM WITH. BOTH HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT, BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ALSO BLOWING OUT EVERY 1.5 MONTH. I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALER: KIA OF VENTURA,CA ATTENTION BUT THEY KEEP DISMISSING IT AS NOTHING IS WRONG. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER TWICE SO FAR THIS YEAR FOR BOTH BREAK STOP & HEADLIGHTS BLOWING OUT AND NOT WORKING DURING NIGHT TIME ROAD TRAVELS ACROSS STATES. I FEEL THIS IS. VERY DANGEROUS. APPARENTLY, THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS I HAVE COME TO KNOW OF 50+ KIA SORENTO OWNERS FACING SIMILAR ELECTRICAL SAFETY ISSUES. ALSO, EVER I BOUGHT THE CAR THE MILE PER GALLON THE CAR IS SUPPOSEDLY TO GIVE ISN'T CORRECT, IT ONLY AVERAGES ABOUT 12-14 MPG. PLEASE LOOK INTO BOTH OF THESE SAFETY ISSUES AS I DRIVE WITH TWO UNDER 5YRS KIDS AND ELDERLY MOTHER. WHAT IS THE NHTSA WAITING FOR? MULTIPLE DEATH FATALITIES BEFORE YOUR ORGANIZATION TAKES ACTION..DO IT NOW PLEASE. ANY RESULTING FATALITIES WILL MAKE YOU LEGALLY LIABLE FOR FAILING TO TAKE ACTION AFTER SOO MANY COMPLAINTS.
