Kia Sorento Engine Safety Report | Nov 20, 2013
Reported on Nov 20, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING IN PARKING LOT AND BREAKING THE ENGINE STOPPED, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. TOOK MULTIPLE TRIES TO GET GEAR SHIFT INTO PARK. ENGINE FINALLY RESTARTED. TOOK IN TO DICK HANNAH DEALER TO CHECK CODES, AFTER 2 HOURS THEY COULD FIND NOTHING AND HAD NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THEY DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS WHERE THIS NHTSA SITE REPORTS 14, NOW 15, OF THE SAME INSTANCES. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION & THE DEALERS DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT........REALLY. THIS IS OUR FIRST AND PROBABLY LAST KIA. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING, FAULTY BACK SEAT LATCH, LEAKY POWER STEERING FITTING DRAINING MOST OF THE FLUID OUT. *TR | |
