Kia Sorento Engine Safety Report | Feb 13, 2013
Reported on Feb 13, 2013
| I HAVE A 2012 SORENTO THAT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A CONSTANT HEADACHE. JUST SOME MINOR ISSUES HAVE BEEN A HEADLIGHT THAT CONTINOUSLY HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A SHORT THAT THEY SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN'T GET TO THE BOTTOM OF. I MEDIUM ISSUE THAT IS BECOMING A HEALTH HAZARD IS THAT THE CAR IS LEAKING WATER INTO THE FLOORBOARD AND CAUSING MOLD TO GROW. AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE IS THAT WHEN WITH SPEEDING UP FAST LIKE WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSTATE OR SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY STALL AND I HAVE TO MAKE MY WAY OFF THE ROAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MYSELF AND MY KIDS. I LIVE IN A CITY AND I HAVE BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE NOT HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT YET. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND BEEN TOLD TO GO TO A DELEARSHIP. I GO TO A DELEARSHIP AND THEY BASICALLY TELL ME I'M CRAZY AND NOTHING IS WRONG. I GUESS IT WILL TAKE SOMEONE GETTING KILLED BY BEING IN A ACCIDENT BEFORE SOME ACTION IS TAKEN. HATE TO BE SO BLUNT BIT BEING NICE ABOUT THE ISSUE HAS YET TO WORK!!!! | |
