2011 KIA SORENTO Complaints

AFTER OUR PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, THE CANCEL BUTTON WOULD GET STUCK AT THE TOP OF THE BUTTON. THEREFORE NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM COMPLETELY. WITHOUT THE BRAKE SWITCH IT COULD CAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL TO NOT DISENGAGE.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AT 90,000 AND AND ITS NEVER BEEN HIT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANT 2000.00 TO FIX IT ,I'M ON SSI .THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE PLEASE HELP?

AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, AND I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. IT JUST CAME ON THE OTHER DAY AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF. I AM AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH.

I HAVE HAD MY 2011 KIA SORENTO FOR 2 YEARS NOW AND AT ABOUT 115K MILES AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. AFTER RESEARCHING, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I SUGGEST THAT KIA LOOKS INTO THIS AND ISSUES A RECALL SINCE THIS IS A OBVIOUS PROBLEM AND I LIKE OTHERS CARRY CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE ANYMORE AND AM LOOKING INTO OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS.

THE ABS/TRACTION SENSOR HAS GONE OUT. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AND KIA WILL NOT COVER IT OR ISSUE A RECALL.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR IS ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE KIA SORENTO. KIA HAS OFFERED NO FIX OR RECALL. DESPITE THIS BEING A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH THE SORENTO, MULTIPLE YEARS.

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2011 BY 2013 THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL, DRIVER SIDE WONT OPEN FROM OUT SIDE. THEN 2014 ABS LIGHT ON, CONTROLS ON STEERING WHEEL FOR PHONE, CRUISE AND VOLUME DON'T WORK. SHIFTING TO PARK OR DRIVE ISN'T CATCHING ALL THE TIME, AND DOOR LOCKS CLICK OPEN & CLOSE RANDOMLY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CAME ON. KIA MARKED IT AS BAD AND I HAD A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC DONE AT A SHOP I HAVE BEEN GOING TO FOR OVER 6 YEARS. IT CAME BACK THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. SOMETHING I HAVE NO CONTROL OF MESSING UP. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT SO THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT'S BEEN ON FOR 1 MONTH NOW. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND NOW KIA WON'T FIX IT. THEY WARNED ME THAT IF IN A CAR ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN I COMMUTE WITH EVERYDAY AND I THINK KIA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS TO AVOID LAWSUIT IN THE FUTURE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CUSTOMER IS RIGHT AND PROVIDING EXCELLENT SERVICE TO HAVE CUSTOMERS COME BACK? I REGRET BUYING A KIA.

MY 2011 SORENTO ONLY HAS 89500 MILES AND YESTERDAY MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND THEY SAID IT HAS TO BE DIAGNOSED TO SEE THE PROBLEM. IT WILL COST $120.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSE. I HAVE GONE ON LINE TO SEE IF THIS A RARE EVENT AND TO MY SURPRISE IT IS NOT. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. I FEEL THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE INEXPENSIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NHTSA SHOULD GET KIA TO CLEAN THERE ACT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE TURNING OUT OF CHURCH PARKING LOT. APPLYING ACCEL PEDAL BARELY POWERED THE VEHICLE BUT MADE METALLIC GRINDING NOISE. PULLED OVER AND PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, BUT PARK DID NOT STOP VEHICLE FROM ROLLING DOWNHILL. PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED UNTIL VEHICLE COULD BE TOWED HOME. ON INSPECTION, RIGHT DRIVE SHAFT AND TRANSMISSION OUTPUT GEAR WERE BOTH FOUND TO HAVE WORN. THERE WAS A RECALL AND SERVICE HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT THIS FAILURE (RC079-SORENTO (XM) INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REPAIR (2WD VEHICLES).
