Kia Sorento Power Train Safety Report | Apr 22, 2011
Reported on Apr 22, 2011
| DRIVING APPROX 35 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD POP AND NOISE THEN THE CAR STARTED GRINDING AND TRANSMISSION LOCKED UP. NO GEARS, CAR LOCKED UP AND CAME TO A HALT. COULD NOT GO BACKWARD OR FORWARD WHEN PUT INTO GEAR, JUST HAD A LOUD GRINDING SOUND. SOUND WAS SO LOUD I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FALLEN OUT. BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I NOTICED THAT WHEN THE CAR HAD BEEN TURNED OFF FOR A WHILE THEN STARTED AND PUT INTO REVERSE THERE WAS A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND, ALMOST AS IF YOU HAD TRIED TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR WITHOUT PUTTING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE FIRST AND IT WOULD LEAP INTO GEAR. | |
