Kia Sorento Power Train Safety Report | Mar 20, 2013
Reported on Mar 20, 2013
| AFTER 10 DAYS AND 500 MILES OF USE THIS NEW VEHICLE WAS EXHIBITING SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WE NOTICED LOSS OF POWER, SHAKING ON TAKEOFF AND SIGNIFICANT NOISE COMING FROM THE POWER TRAIN WHILE DRIVING; THIS AFFECTED THE DRIVABILITY AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME OF THE FACT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE BECAUSE IT WAS FAULTY. FOR SOME REASON THEY DID NOT PUT A NEW ONE IN THE CAR BUT RATHER A RE-MANUFACTURED ONE. (A REAL MYSTERY IF YOU ASK ME) THEY SAID IT WAS INDUSTRY STANDARD. BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY ARE HIDING SOMETHING.I HOPE SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS BECAUSE WHILE WE ARE GLAD NOTHING SERIOUS HAPPENED. IT WAS SCARY FOR US SINCE WE HAVE 4 CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES IN THE CAR. *TR | |
