2014 KIA SORENTO Complaints

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.

I HAVE A PEARL WHITE 2014 KIA SORRENTO PURCHASED IN APRIL OF 2017 WITH AROUND 70,000 MILES ON IT IT HAD NOT A SCRATCH OR DENT. AROUND 9/2017 AT AROUND 80,000 MILES, I STARTED NOTICING SMALL CHIPS OF PAINT MISSING. IT WAS PEELING AND DELAMINATING FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THEY HAVE EVOLVED INTO VERY LARGE SPOTS OF CHIPPED PAINT AND RUSTING ON TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD, ON THE SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND ON THE HOOD. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THINNING PAINT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR.

KIA SORENTO PEARL WHITE PAINT PEELING CHIPPING AND DELAMINATION. PAINT ON ROOF OF CAR HAS BEEN RAPIDLY CHIPPING PEELING AWAY AND IS NOW RUSTING. THE STREAK HAS GROWN ABOUT 2 INCHES IN THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF. CONCERNED THAT IT WILL NOT STOP AND IS DEFECTIVE AND HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR KIA SORENTO PEARL WHITE PAINT.

THE PAINT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF WINDSHIELD STARTED PEELING OFF. I WAS ABLE TO STOP ONE SMALL SPOT FROM SPREADING BY USING THE KIA PAINT PEN, BUT ANOTHER AREA OPENED UP. WIND FROM HIGHWAY DRIVING HAS STARTED TAKING OFF MUCH LARGER AREAS OF PAINT. MY CAR IS KEPT IN A GARAGE SO WEATHER DAMAGE IS NOT THE CAUSE.

SNOW WHITE PEARL PAINT IS FALLING OFF THE CAR. THE MOST NOTICEABLE AREAS ARE BEHIND THE SUNROOF AND OVER THE DRIVER'S DOOR.

THE SUSPENSION IN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP THAT FALLS, IT DOES NOT PROTECT IT HITS DRY IT HAS NO SUPPORT, THE STEERING WHEEL FROM ZERO MILES IS A RATTLE EVEN THOUGH WE TAKE IT TO ITS GUARANTEE THEY NEVER FIXED IT, IN THE SAME WAY THE BRAKE DISCS TO THE EMERGENCY BRAKING AS THEY SKID, SWEEP; YOU HAVE TO STEP ON THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO RESPOND ...

THE PAINT BEGAN TO RAPIDLY PEEL AND DELAMINATE FROM THE BODY OF MY CAR AFTER THE 36,000 MILE PAINT WARRANTY EXPIRED ON MY 2014 KIA SORENTO PEARL WHITE SORENTO. THE RIGHT SIDE ARM OF THE WINDSHIELD AREA RAPIDLY PEELED AND BEGAN TO RUST THEN THE LEFT SIDE ARM OF MY WINDSHIELD BEGAN TO PEEL , DELAMINATE AND RUST .
