Also, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the bearing rod inside the engine failed and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not…

My sorento feels like it's going to stall, especially when accelerating. It's also burning oil at an alarming rate. The oil lamp flickered once while driving on the highway. There is no obvious oil leak. I took it to the dealership and they said it needs a new engine it that it isn't covered under the 17v224 recall. I'm afraid that the engine is failing and that it is kia's responsibility, but they are ignoring the…

Acceleration. When i accelerate it hesitates to pick up. Very dangerous as i was trying to merge into the highway or merge into a different lane it did not accelerate quickly enough and the vehicles in that lane had to brake hard as i entered that lane almost rear ending my vehicle. Even if i press the gas pedal hard it does the same thing, it hesitates before speeding up. Another issue is the door lock button from…

Recall : it isn't on recall list but having the same problems the other recalls for same vehicle and year. Was driving and engine stalled on the loop, i was almost hit by multiple cars. I finally got the kia to start and it began to make loud tapping noise and not letting rpms reach 3k. Nobody seems to want to help since the car only has 87k miles and now the engine is failing for no reason. I believe if the engine…

Bought a pre-certified used 2014 kia sorento sxl. Passed all 150 inspection. Less than 24 hrs after buying the car, the following morning my pregnant wife was driving to work in rush hour traffic on the highway and all a sudden the car would not accelerate. She was pressing the gas pedal to the floor and the car was going 5 mph. She was so scared, specially being pregnant, that the cars were going to hit her. She…

Pulled car over to side of the road and it died completely. We had a very similar problem with this vehicle approximately 2 years ago. After bringing the car into our dealership multiple times 2 years ago, our kia dealership told…

Everytime i put the car in drive it makes a harsh banging noise. It also decides to just shut off as soon as i press on the gas or slow down after i've already started going on city streets i can also hear and feel clicking under driver's side floor board as i'm turning into drive ways,parking spots etc. This is an everyday thing that started last year.

As a result, the vehicle backed into a steel post. The front passenger had to help the contact shift the gear into neutral in order to stop the vehicle from accelerating. Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated forward into a field at a high…

When driving the sorento sx wearing sunglasses, the digital speedometer needle is virtually invisible. You can't readily confirm the vehicle's speed. You have to tilt your head and peer under or over the sunglasses to see the needle which is too dark against the black background. This means your eyes are off the road far longer than the typical glance needed with traditional speedometers. This design flaw will…
