Kia Sorento Engine Safety Report | July 17, 2013
Reported on July 17, 2013
| I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKES QUICKLY AS I WAS GOING TOO QUICKLY TO STOP AT THE STOP LINE IF I HAD NOT. I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 20-25 MPH. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE CAR SHUT OFF. I WAS UNABLE TO PLACE THE CAR IN PARK FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL. AFTER I BLOCKED TRAFFIC FOR A COUPLE OF LIGHT CHANGES AND CARS WERE HONKING, I WAS ABLE TO PLACE CAR ON PARK AND RESTART IT. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE. I RECENTLY NOTICED A HIGH PITCHED BUT VERY LOW SOUND WHILE DRIVING AT FIRST I WASN'T SURE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I AM DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE SO I WILL LET THE DEALERSHIP KNOW WHEN I TAKE IT IN SOON. *JS | |
