My 2015 kia sorento ignition went out and i had to have it towed into the dealership and cost me right at $500 for a new ignition. Making me leave with two keys, my original key will only operated the door and then new key operates only the ignition. My factory fob is no longer a part of the working ignition. I am seriously unhappy and find this hard to believe being that my kia has less that 88k miles on it.

I was driving straight in a grain silo town in kansas (coming up on oakley from colorado springs) and there were no cars around me. The weather wasn't drastically changing and there was no adverse weather. Suddenly, it sounds as though there was an explosion on the top of my car. The fabric partition that separates the sunroof from the interior of the car starts shaking violently in the wind and there was some glass…

My key fob was sounding like the doors locked but the car headlights did not flash or horn sound to signal the car was locked/security feature. The dealer said there was nothing wrong with the battery in the fob, and let it be as that. Today my car is in the shop because i was in the rear seats this week and noticed the back driver side passenger door was not locking. I had trouble getting out too. This explains why…

The exterior handle cap fell off of my vehicle. It keeps the door handle in place. It is not covered under the warranty but when i searched, hundreds of other kia owners had the same issue, some were brand new. The part is $10 but kia wanted to charge 60 plus $100 for labor. This part fell off while i was driving which eventually caused the door handle to fall off while driving.

While driving my car to work after a software update at a local dealership it became sluggish and difficult to drive. I was just coming off a local highway onto a surface street when this occurred. I pulled over and checked the icon on my dashboard in my car's manual. It told me not to drive it so i had it towed to the dealer - 6 weeks ago! Apparently the software update they did to protect my car damaged it…

My 2015 kia sorento has metal flakes in the engine, burns 2 quarts of oil every 2ooo miles, it hesitates on acceleration, white exhaust smoke, burns a lot of gas, the engine check light and uvo warnings constantly turns on, it can catch on fire anytime, the engine can lock anytime. We need more kia recalls before lives are lost.

2015 kia sorrento sxl engine check light and vehicle verbal warning that my truck has a serious engine problem that needs to be checked. I took my truck to the dealership service three times in one week to research and repair the engine issue. I paid over $300 for repair. I was told my engine has metal flakes and it's nothing the dealership service can do to repair it. I was told to live with the engine check light…

I have 2 concerns, 1 mainly i have a newer 2015 kia sorrento with under 25k miles, owned it about 2 years ever since i owned it there has been a ticking in the engine and white smoke blowing out the exhaust. Which should not be thecase with a newer car, after taking it to the dealership they said nothing was wrong. Additionally when i turn on the air conditioner it smells like vinegar or dirty socks an aweful smell,…

Engine failure due to metal filings in oil said by dealer to be related to bearings. Same issue the 2014 kia sorento was recalled for. My car was made at the same alabama plant in 2014 but is a 3.3l. No one can tell me how many warranties have been rejected or honored for engine replacement. The feds are investigating if kia recalled enough cars. Did they? My car was made in the us..but shipped and sold in canada.…

I purchased my kia in april of this year. A few weeks after the purchase i noticed a burning smell. I pulled over to investigate but could not find where the smell was coming from. I continued to notice the smell after the first incident and there was no pattern to cause the smell to happen. I brought the kia in for service to find the problem. Kias mechanic said they could not duplicate the smell and they couldnt…

We were driving down the highway with our small children in the back seat and car began to make a loud noise. The engine light came on and then started to flash. We proceeded to the exit and as we were taking the exit all the lights came on in the car stalled. We had to have it towed and we were advised that the engine was bad and one of the cylinders was not opening. This vehicle is not even two years old and the…

Horrid smell coming from ac. Last summer it smelled like vinegar, this spring, cat urine. I took it to the dealer to have the system cleaned/deodorized for $65. Sadly didnt help. They are taking it back to delve into cleaning the evaporator? I hope it doesnt cost more, but there are so many accounts of this on kia....people getting headaches from the mold, aggravating kids's asthma....talk of a law suit, etc. Kia…

My kia lost power while driving on march 17, 2017 on the highway. After kia replaced the motor i realized that during cold weather my car won't start at all. I've had several diagnostic tests done but nothing shows up. I've even had the manager of the service department come to my location with the diagnostic device, because i was once again stranded and had just paid to have the machine put on my vehicle the day…

Sooo many complaints of kia doors not opening from the inside. Kia is not issuing a voluntary recall of this. They should asap! As soon as someone's car catches fire and they can't get the doors open, there will be serious lawsuits. If you are under warranty when this happens, you are good to go. But one by one, the doors stop working....and if out of warranty, dealers want $400+ per door lock. It would behoove kia…

The suv has been having white smoke coming from tailpipe and the car has been pulling. It makes ugly noise when we try to accelerate on the freeway and pulls. The oil light isn't coming on to tell us when the oil is low even if it's not time for a pil change. We seem to notice that the car is burning oil more frequently than a normal vehicle. Also notice sludge when we check the oil even if we had just had a oil…
