Kia Sorento Power Train Safety Report | Aug 04, 2012
Reported on Aug 04, 2012
| I HAD THE SAME INCIDENT HAPPEN TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN WHILE MY CAR WAS IN DRIVE. I TRIED ACCELERATING SEVERAL TIMES TO PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE BUT THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP. I HAD TO PUT MY CAR INTO PARK AND THEN PUT IT INTO DRIVE AGAIN IN ORDER TO HAVE THE CAR FUNCTION SO THAT I COULD PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I AM TERRIBLY NERVOUS I WILL BE REAR ENDED IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I RECENTLY HAD A BRAKE SWITCH REPLACED BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO GET MY CAR INTO PARK. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL WHILE ENGAGING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE BUT I WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE MY KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. I DON'T KNOW IF THESE 2 PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO ONE ANOTHER. *TR | |
