2014 KIA SORENTO Complaints

ON 7/5/2014 9:00 A.M. I PLACE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, TURNED THE KEY BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER TO START. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ACCELERATION ISSUE ALSO.

"TAKATA RECALL" ON MAY 12, 2018 I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WHEN I WAS HIT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR CORNER PANEL AT 70MPH AND MADE MY CAR FISH TAIL CAUSING MY CAR TO ROLL OVER FOUR TIMES AND THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL, ONLY AIRBAGS THAT DEPLYED WERE THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR HAD FRONT END DAMAGE. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS WELL ASAP.

ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING LOST POWER AND LOCKING UP ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED ON THE HWY HAD TO PULL OVER BEFORE IT COMPLETE LOCKED THE ENGINE UP

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO DEALER BECAUSE AIRBAGS WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. THEY CHARGED $124 TO DIAGNOSE AND RECOMMEND REPLACING DRIVER SEAT BACK TO FIX IT. IT WILL COST $2100. I DECLINED, THEN I SAW MANY PEOPLE HAD SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE AND COMPLAINED ON THE INTERNET. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER.

SC147. WHY WASN'T ALL THE 2014 KIA SORENTOS INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT ON ME TODAY DOING THE SAME THING THAT THIS RECALL WAS FOR. REPORTED IT TO KIA AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. MY VEHICLE WAS GOING 55 WHEN IT LOST ACCELERATION AND NO POWER STEERING AND THE LIGHTS FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD WITH ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON. COASTED INTO A PARKING LOT, THANK GOD NO OTHER TRAFFIC WAS AROUND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 KIA SORENTO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, A LOUD EXPLOSION SOUND WAS HEARD AS THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT GLASS SHOP RECOMMENDED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 12745485 WAS OPENED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

THE FRONT PASSENGER AND THE THE TWO BACK DOOR AS WELL AS THE BACK (ENTRY TO CRGO AREA) LOCKS DO NOT OPEN WITH ANY DEVICE....ONLY THE DRIVERS DOOR UNLOCKS., THE AFOREMENTIONED HAVE TO BE OPENED BY HAND.. THEY DO CLOSE WHEN THE KEY IS IN IGNITION AND THE DRIVE OR REVERSE IS ENGAGED, BUT THEY DO NOT REOPEN WHEN PRESSING OPEN LATCH AT DRIVERS SIDE., THIS COULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN ONE NEEDS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. HAD VEHICLE CHECKED AT KIA DEALER IN MISSISSIPPI AND WAS TOLD THAT ALL THREE ACTUATORS WERE GONE AND THAT DRIVERS WAS ON THE WAY OUT. THIS TO ME IS A TOTAL DEFECT....MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED ABOUT DOOR LOCKS ON SOME KIAS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR 3 TO GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR IS NOT IN WARRANTY AND THE COST TO REPAIR WAS OVER $800.00 I BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AND THAT KIA SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE WORK.

THE HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY BLOW THE BULBS AND THE BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING LOOKS TO BE BROWN LIKE IT OVERHEATED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS HAVE A MIND OF THERE OWN, YOU PUSH SAY THE VOLUME DOWN KEY AND THE VOICE RECOGNITION COMES ON NONE OF THE BUTTONS ON THE DRIVER SIDE SEEM TO DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO ON THE STEERING WHEEL

HEADLIGHT LO BEAM QUITS FUNCTIONING EVEN THOUGH BULB IS GOOD. REMOVING AND REINSTALLING SOMETIMES STARTS IT AGAIN. SOMETIMES JUST BUMPING IT MAKES IT WORK. CURRENTLY I CAN NOT GET IT TO WORK AGAIN AND THE BULB LOOKS GOOD. BEGAN 5/25/2018

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ROUGHLY 40 MPH ON A STRAIGHT ROAD, ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. WITHIN SECONDS, THERE WAS LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS WELL. CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER, AND ALL THE INDICATOR LIGHTS IN THE DASH SHOWED UP. TOOK THE CAR TO KIA, WHO ADMITTED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE KIA PAPERWORK NOTED IT WAS REPLACED DUE TO 'SC147'.
