When travelling on a highway at speeds of 70-73 mph, after 45 minutes to one hour of driving the car shuts itself off. The car stops completely, the engine shuts itself off, there is no power steering, and no air conditioning and no lights. The radio continues to work, which of course is the least of my concerns. After pulling over to the side of the road and waiting for several minutes the car will start back up…

The vehicle decelerated and would not go even when the gas was applied. When i came to a stop oil was leaking all over the ground. When looking under the hood, the high pressure fuel pump bolt had been sheered off and gas and oil were spewing out. Had the car towed to the dealership where they blamed the people who had done the last oil change 3,000 miles ago. At the same time they said that it could not have been…

I am a little perplexed with your judgement call kia...i own a 2014 kia sorento that's as apart of your engine recall...the car 'passed' the tests ran on it to determine if a new engine was needed, only to have the engine completely cease going 50mph on a major highway in virginia...i received a call today about an open recall on a fuel pump issue potentially causing fire...while i was aware of this situation due to…

The end of october 2018 my 2014 kia sorento motor blew up. We heard the knocking on a weekend, kia said to bring it in and it stalled halfway there. Had to call my insurance because kia would not pay for towing. My kia had been checked the year before for the engine recall, of course it passed. It took 2 months to get my car back, they did provide a rental. A month later (jan. 2019) i smelled gasoline very strong in…

Simple, just like everyone else here that complained about loss of power. But i had a diagnosis both by autozone and the kia dealer. The diagnosis is: error code p0717 turbine input shaft speed sensor and wiring harness faulty due to corrosion from moisture getting in from not having adequate sealing or poor quality of rubber seal. Pulling out of stores or my driveway became very damages as you could imagine and i…

Driving down the highway my car died out of nowhere. It would not start again afterwards. All power shuts off and i am able to coast to a stop. This has happened a few times but becoming more frequent but still random.

Last week while on the highway going about 65mph my check engine light came on(stayed on) and my vehicle started knocking. I went home parked it for the night and called the dealership the next morning. The dealership said as long as the check engine light was solid (not flashing) it was safe to drive the 30 min to bring it to them. They called today to state the engine is blown due to metal shavings in the engine…
