Kia Sorento Fuel/propulsion System Safety Report | Dec 10, 2012
Reported on Dec 10, 2012
| I WAS DRIVING 30 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY CAR STALLED OUT. I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT WAS UNABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE MAIN FUSE PANEL AND THE FUEL PUMP. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID ONE SHORTED THE OTHER OUT AND THAT IT WAS A FLUKE. ON 4/7/2013, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AGAIN, CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. NOBODY, CAN TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND I AM REALLY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AGAIN.. IF THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD BE DISASTROUS. KIA IS SAYING THEY HAVEN'T HEARD THIS HAPPENING WITH OTHER VEHICLES, HOWEVER, AFTER COMING TO THIS SITE, IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WITH REGULARITY. HELP. WHAT ARE MY RIGHTS?? *TR | |
