(they would not ship the sorento to me) it did end up working out ok, my mother and father inlaw picked up the sorento when it was fixed and i drove one of their vehicles down to arkansas. they brought the sorento down to me on their vacation. i am very disappointed that the transmission went out in my brand new vehicle. i don't think that i will ever feel totally safe driving it again. i'm always going to be wondering what is going to happen next. *tr.Mileage was 24000 miles.

(ex.) while backing up a grade such as a driveway to the garage i back up and then hit my brake to stop. i then realize i need to back up a little farther. i take my foot off of the brake and push the accelerator. instead of going backwards i drift forward. in my mind i am thinking i don't have the accelerator pushed down so i push harder and about that time the accelerator kicks in and i go flying backwards toward the garage door. (ex.2) i am trying to back a boat into the river. i back up and hold my foot on the brake. i need to pull back out of the water some so i quickly release my foot from the brake and push the accelerator. now instead of going forward there is a delay in acceleration and i drift further into the river. (someone is going to have a very bad accident) multiply this occurrence at every stop sign. especially where there is a grade involved. in my opinion i believe this is a design in the computer for what ever reason and it is a very dangerous one. *tr.Mileage was 100 miles.

(this is from autoblog.com: kia noticed this ride quality issue and decided to take the costlier dfd dampers and employ them not just on the new sx model, but across the model's entire range beginning in the fourth quarter. while kia officials we spoke with at an atlanta press event this week stopped short of admitting that the sorento's ride quality has been an issue, they did note that once engineers sampled the dfd setup on the sx, they liked the ride so much they decided to institute the new units on all sorentos.) *tr .Mileage was 7000 miles.

Kia Sorento 2011 Power Train Review #10519967 KIA SORENTO 2011 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2013.KIA SORENTO 2011, manufactured by Kia Motors Corporation had a problem with POWER TRAIN . while driving my 2011 kia sorento it just lost power, it would not go forward but the engine was still running and all the dashboard idiot lights lit up. i was in a parking lot with no one behind me otherwise i would have been rear-ended if this happened driving on the road or highway. the car would not go and there was no steering response. i turned off the key to kill the engine and then restarted the car. the car started and i was able to get to my destination and park. i checked this problem online by searching kia sorento stalling and found a dozen or more video's from people experiencing the same issue that i just experienced. some of the drivers found that if you use the car in the manual shift mode the stalling did not seem to happen. this is a real potential disaster. you loose power and have no way of moving the car to get out of the way when you are in traffic on a highway...like riding in a 'death wish car'. the video's also stating that they experienced the stalling many times and once it started it got worse. they also stated that kia dealerships were of little help since they need to reproduce the stalling and since it's just random that is not easy. the videos were taped when the issue was actually taking place and showed the tach at about 15 rpm's all the engine lights lit but no steering response or power to move the car. i am hoping this can become a recall and kia will fix this stalling problem and keep the people in these kia sorento's safe! if this is a computer problem then there should be an error log to show when the car lost power for no reason. kia needs to take ownership of this defect and fix this potential deadly problem. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29350 miles.

Kia Sorento 2011 Unknown Or OtherKia Sorento 2011 Unknown Or Other Review #10607542 KIA SORENTO 2011 car safety problem was reported on May 17, 2012.KIA SORENTO 2011, manufactured by Kia Motors Corporation had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . purchased 2011 kia sorento - new- from local dealership on 5/13/2011. in one year (5/17/2012) right-rear passenger door started sticking. ended up being the door panel sticking on the weather stripping, but this required two subsequent attempts to repair, on 6/6/2012 (weather strip replaced) and 9/5/2012 (door panel replaced) (covered by warranty). this final solution of replacing the door panel worked, until 6/19/2014. same issue, with the same door, reoccurred. the door panel clips have been replaced. the dealer ship opened a case with kia at our request and adjusted the door strike plate. the problem seemed to be fixed, but within two days, we are ready to take it back to re-address the issue. at this point the mileage has placed the car out of warranty, thus the current cost of the part (the door panel) being $675, plus labor, is on us to bear and likely, based on the previous record will not be the final repair required for this round. we fully expect this same door to fail in another two years. we feel that this issue is a safety hazard as when someone tries to open the door, forgetting it is broken, and does not push hard to close the door, it is not fully engaged. there is an open case with kia directly to address the problem (k2738522). they only mentioned assisting with the repair, not repairing it at their cost, for what is likely a quality and safety issue with this particular vehicle and door. it does not seem to be limited to the 2011 model year as i did find another instance of this same problem on a 2012 model in the wild: http://www.edmunds.com/kia/sorento/2012/consumer-reviews/rear-passenger-door-won't-open.html?style=101388024&sub=&reviewid=964955855.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 29359 miles.
