Kia Sorento Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Oct 06, 2010
Reported on Oct 06, 2010
| IN OCTOBER OF 2010, I WAS DRIVING MY 9 MONTH OLD 2011 KIA SORENTO. I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND HEARD A VERY LOUD BOOM SOUND. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I TRIED TO SHIFT THE GEAR INTO DRIVE AND IT MADE A VERY LOUD GRINDING NOISE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO KIA AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD COMPLETELY GONE INCLUDING THE DRIVE SHAFT. THEY HAD TO TOTALLY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND DRIVE SHAFT. TODAY IS APRIL 19, 2011 AND FOR THE PAST COUPLE WEEKS MY CAR HAS BEEN HESITATING LIKE I AM RUNNING OUT OF GAS, AT SOME POINTS THE CAR ACTUALLY JERKS. I AM TAKING THE CAR IN TO BE SERVICED TODAY. *TR | |
