I already filed a claim the other day, but now my 2013 sorento has gotten even worse! My car stalled on the highway going around 65-70 mph, and power steering and acceleration completely ceased. After getting home and calling to report this, i took it for a test drive, and my engine has a very loud knocking sound coming from it, and it drives extremely rough. I never had any warning signs prior to this, and now my…

Driving down the road and all of a sudden our kia started making a knocking sound in the engine. We slowed down and started to pull over when we hear pieces of our car breaking off and saw a huge cloud of white smoke. When we pulled over and got out of the car, the whole underneath of the engine was on fire. The engine was seizing and caused the bearing to punch a hole into the engine. The parts we hear flying off…

At 37,342 miles the right spring coil broke and shredded my tire while driving on a city street. I am grateful this did not occur on a freeway. The cost to replace the coil, strut , and tire was almost $1,000. I called kia corporate headquarters and was offered no relief because i was past the basic warranty period of 5 years.

They said the whole stereo needs to replaced and quoted me over $500 to replace it. Only three years into owning my new car. It was working perfectly then all of a sudden it just stopped. The light come on and the controls work but they said it's not connecting to the…

This sluggish feeling happens almost daily, even if i have a tune up completed and all new filters. I have also tried different brands of gasoline to try and help with this issue. Nothing seems to help. I am very concerned also about the mount of heat the engine…

The dashboard reflects onto the windshield reducing visibilty as the reflections cause distorted vision thru the windshield. This is extremely hazardous on sunny days as the reflections increase depending on the angle of the sun reflecting off the shiny dashboard onto the windshield. Maybe the dashboard should not be coated with such a reflective and shiny material to avoid this issue. In addition, the speed panel…
