Kia Sorento Engine And Engine Cooling Safety Report | Jan 19, 2011
Reported on Jan 19, 2011
| WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR SLOW SPEED THE ENGINE WILL OCCASIONALLY BOG DOWN AND ALMOST DIE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC OR ACROSS ONCOMING LANES OF TRAFFIC. IT HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. SOMETIMES FROM A FULL STOP AND SOMETIMES FROM LOW SPEED (LESS THAN 10 MPH). I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK OVER TO US WITHOUT ANY COMMENT. THE THIRD TIME, AFTER I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT NOT BEING FIXED THE TWO TIMES BEFORE, THEY FINALLY ADMITTED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY CLAIM TO HAVE DRIVEN ANOTHER 2011 SORENTO WHICH DID THE SAME THING AND THEY CLAIM TO HAVE CONTACTED KIA WHO TOLD THEM IF THERE WAS NO CODE ON THE COMPUTER (THERE WAS NOT) THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. AND BY THE WAY, YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT ACCEPT MY E-MAIL, I GUESS BECAUSE IT HAS A DASH (-) IN IT SO I AM USING MY WIFE'S E-MAIL. *TR | |
