Kia Sorento 2013 Engine Review #10462895

KIA SORENTO 2013 car safety problem was reported on June 20, 2012.KIA SORENTO 2013, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . i test drove the vehicle which had only 5 miles on it and had not been test driven prior to me. i noticed a very slight vibration from 0mpg to 10mpg, and asked the sales associate if that was normal. he said it was fine and was nothing to be concerned about. i did not notice any further issues while idling at stop lights and did not notice the vibration again during the test drive. after i signed the financial papers at 11pm after the dealership had officially closed for the day and got into the car to drive home, i was sitting in the car while it idled and i was speaking to the sales associate when the car began to shake and the vibration was very noticeable. i immediately told the associate and he said to bring the car in to the service department the following day to have it inspected and said it was nothing to worry about. he said it's under warranty so it would be taken care of one way or another. we brought the car in the next day and the service man told my husband it was likely just that it needed to break-in since it only had a few miles on it. they ran tests on the car and everything checked out fine. the man suggested we take it for a long drive and put a couple hundred miles on it and see how it was running afterward. we did so and the problem did not get better. we brought it in the next day to be inspected again and the service men took it for a short drive to see if they could replicate the problem and they noted they did. our sales associate told us he looked into this vibration problem and found that kia was aware of the problem and were working on a fix for a computer chip that was affecting the 4 cylinder 2013 sorentos. he told us kia did not have a timeframe for fixing the problem but it should be soon, but this was a problem with all 4 cylinders that they are making. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 7 miles.

KIA SORENTO 2013 car safety problem was reported on June 15, 2012.KIA SORENTO 2013, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . while on vacation (june 15) we were to stop by the dealer and get our new tags. on i77 at mileage marker 33 in very heavy traffic, the engine quit running. i immediately turned on the emergency flashers. we were in the middle lane and wasn't able to get over to the right (nobody would let us get out of the lane we were in) to get to a safe place .we almost caused multiple accidents. my wife was screaming. i thought that we were going to create a major accident. no matter what i did i was not able to get the car started and it came to a complete stop. people were going around us on both sides beeping their horns and other gestures. after fooling with the gear shifter, i put the vehicle in park it started but when i put it in drive it started to miss and was in the process of stalling when i put it in neutral the engine started to run fine. i then put it in low gear and it started to move forward, once i got some speed (did not look at the speedometer to see how fast i was going) i put it in drive and everything was fine after that. also, the vehicle runs rough when in neutral and while idling when in gear (varies with no rhyme or reason). the service advisor informed me that kia knew of the problem and were working on it. they should have an answer within two weeks. it is august 13 and that was june 15. on august 7 it happened again...having other problems at times, vehicle missing, starting to stall....i have called the dealership each time a problem happened...so far all i got is lip service. called several hours ago (talked to the salesman) said he was with a customer and will get back to me. no response from him so far. i am at a lost as to what to do my wife is scared and will not drive the vehicle. i am worried that i may cause an accident. please help me get this problem solved before someone gets hurt or even worst. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 778 miles.

KIA SORENTO 2013 car safety problem was reported on Dec 08, 2012.KIA SORENTO 2013, manufactured by KIA MOTORS CORPORATION had a problem with ENGINE . we purchased 2 kia vehicles on 12-8-2013, one being the 2013 kia sorento awd 4-cyl-gdi. we took delivery of the vehicle and had to return on monday to turn in the other trade. we questioned the salesman about the rough idle and loud noise that it made at stops but he said it was normal and it would work itself out after a break-in period. the next day when we were stopped at a red light the vehicle began to shake and the lights stated to flicker, i told my wife to give it gas and then it stopped..until she let off the pedal. we submitted am inquiry to kia through the website and by the next day we were contacted by a regional rep. we scheduled an appointment to bring it in and then i began researching this issue...to which i quickly lost that warm fuzzy feeling of a new kia owner! we left our vehicle at the dealership for days until we had enough, we were fixing to have to pay a note on a vehicle we didn't have! we called and picked our vehicle back up, we are being told that the parts are on back-order from korea. we have been contacted from a rep out of georgia now and we just keep being told to be patient. i am not happy at all as we purchased two new vehicles and we should not be having to deal with this. had we left our vehicle at the dealership (which is what they wanted while we drove a nasty rental) we be out for at least a month as the parts aren't scheduled to be shipped until the 21st of january! we have no idea of our legal rights if any, and i do not feel comfortable with my wife and children in this vehicle. kia offers nothing more than a stinky rental car and please be patient....the service manager however at the dealership has been wonderful..unlike the sales manager! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 23 miles.

KIA SORENTO 2013 car safety problem was reported on Dec 05, 2013.KIA SORENTO 2013, manufactured by Kia Motors Corporation had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . about 6 months ago when my radio turned off and wouldn't turn back on. i took it into the dealership and they said that it must have been a one time thing because they we not able to duplicate the problem again. i went with it as this is the 3rd kia i have owned. on 12/5/13 i went to turn my car on and it didn't start, i waited a few seconds tried again and she started. the very next day 12/6/13 i drove to la with my son and on my way back down (90 miles away from home) the radio went out again and my car felt very sluggish. i couldn't call my husband as my bluetooth is connected to my radio and i was already on the road when the radio went out again. now today 12/11/13 i was driving on the freeway to a doctors appointment. as soon as i get off the freeway i am at a stop sign, i stop. when it is my turn to go is when my car decides to completely shut down! all the lights flickered, the radio went out and my car was still stuck in drive, on a slight hill. i immediately put my hazard lights on, put the emergency break on as i didn't want my car to roll backwards. after trying to restart my car about 4 times i was finally able to put the car in park and restart the car. but she was shaking the entire time until i finally parked the car and went to my appt. i purchased this car for safety as i have never had a problem with any of my other kia's. i will be taking it in to the dealership tomorrow and see what they say. after reading all of these complaints from people with the same exact issue i am looking at kia to recall this car. they shouldn't wait until a fatality occurs to rectify this issue. i live the california so after 3 times for the same reason it will fall under the lemon law but my concern is the safety of everyone else especially my 3 children that i am constantly transporting, and myself on my 140 mile drive daily. please recall this vehicle! *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40000 miles.

KIA SORENTO 2013 car safety problem was reported on Oct 16, 2014.KIA SORENTO 2013, manufactured by Kia Motors America had a problem with ENGINE . 2013 kia sorento lx loss of accelerator control. i had just exited a 55mph boulevard onto a 35mph residential street. as i accelerated to the posted speed there was a ?pop?, the car lurched, and the engine light came on. the engine was still running but there was no response from pressing the accelerator pedal. i cut off the engine, waited a minute and restarted it. the engine, transmission and electrical all seemed to be fine but the accelerator was non-responsive. surprisingly the engine idle speed was sufficient to push the car along on moderately hilly roads. i managed to get the car to the kia dealer, where i purchased it, and left it with the service department. after i got home i did a google search for ?kia sorento acceleration? and found multiple reports of accelerator problems with 2012 through 2014 kia sorentos. http://www.kia-forums.com/2011-2013-xm-sorento-forum/76454-2012-sorento-disconnected-accelerator.html http://www.carcomplaints.com/kia/sorento/2013/engine/died_while_driving.shtml after reviewing the various posts i believe that the computer software upgrade that the service departments are loading are not going to resolve the issue, otherwise kia would not have been having this issue for several years. i believe the actual issue is a faulty part that has not been replaced or redesigned. if that is the case then i will have this issue again sometime in the future. the tech reported that they found 3 service codes. they cleared the codes, checked the computer software and "found old version". they reported that they updated the software and performed a throttle cleaning. they test drove the car twice and the engine light did not turn back on (no codes). *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 19000 miles.

KIA SORENTO 2013 car safety problem was reported on Oct 19, 2014.KIA SORENTO 2013, manufactured by Kia Motors America had a problem with POWER TRAIN . this has now happened about ten times and seems to be a very serious flaw in the transmission and/or powertrain. i'll be in park and shift the car into reverse or drive and when i let up on the brake to idle and proceed slowly there is a loud bang/clunk (almost as if something internal or external is slamming the car with a ramming rod) and the car lurches until i brake. this is very worrisome as i feel that it can injury pedestrians nearby or even the occupants of the vehicle if the car loses control. also, i don't think this can be good for the automatic transmission or powertrain. since this happens sporadically, the dealers say they cannot reproduce it and deny a problem. please advise as to what recourse i might have. thank you. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50000 miles.
