Kia Sorento Engine Safety Report | July 26, 2012
Reported on July 26, 2012
| DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN SLOW TRAFFIC. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE DIED WITH NO WARNING. I HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY TO ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE CAR. IT DID NOT IMMEDIATELY START, BUT AFTER A FEW MOMENTS THE ENGINE KICKED OVER. I DROVE IT OFF THE FREEWAY AND HAD IT TOWED THE NEXT DAY TO THE DEALER. AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR A WEEK THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO THEY WON'T FIX IT. THEY SAY THERE IS NO CODE FOR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR TO DRIVE IF THE ENGINE DIES ON THE FREEWAY. IF KIA CAN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS CAR. *TR | |
