2011 Kia Sorento complaints

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLS. HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY THAN WHEN FIRST STARTED

HEARING WHIRRING AND WHINING NOISE FROM DRIVE SHAFT ON 2011 KIA SORRENTO. WE THINK IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE RECALL: HTTPS://WWW.NHTSA.GOV/VEHICLE/2011/KIA/SORENTO/SUV/4WD#RECALLS AFTER CALLING THE DEALER - OUR VIN# IS NOT LISTED WITH THIS RECALL. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL FORUM POSTS OF OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2011 KIA SORRENTO AND NA VIN#. SUCH AS: HTTP://WWW.CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/KIAMOTOR/SORENTO/DRIVESHAFT-PROBLEMS.PHP WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS, BUT THINK IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL...

STARTED ENGINE AIR BAG LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK CLICKS BUT WON'T LOCK. FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE HANDLE, ONLY INSIDE HANDLE. AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON, STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS STOPPED OPERATING RADIO AND PHONE CALLS. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 KIA SORENTO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CONSTANT PRESENCE OF AN OIL LEAK AND THE OIL WAS NOT PROPERLY CYCLING THROUGH THE OIL PUMP. DARCARS KIA OF FREDERICK (5826 URBANA PIKE, FREDERICK, MD 21704, 1-877-997-6197) SERVICED THE VEHICLE PER MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN NUMBER: SC106; HOWEVER, IT FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS LEFT WITHOUT A VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

MY STRUTS MAKE MY TIRES POP AT LEAST EVERY TWO WEEKS GOT THEM REPLACED OVER 10 TIMES AND ALSO MY FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND STILL GIVE OFF A STINKY SMELL IT MAY RESULT IN GETTING ANOTHER CATALIC CONVERTER

THE ENGINE HAS A CLICKING SOUND ALL THE TIME SOUNDS LUKE ITS GRINDING METAL

I AM NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE IF IT WILL BE COVERED OR NOT. MOST LIKELY IT WILL NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THE CS1603 CAN ONLY BE COMPLETED ONCE, AND ONLY UNDER THE 5 YEARS/ 60,000 MILE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED OUT OF WARRANTY BY THE YEAR AS IT GOES BY THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY START DATE OF 06/04/2011. HOWEVER, WE CAN LOOK INTO POSSIBLE GOODWILL ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR THAT IS NEEDED. OF COURSE I AM NOT ABLE TO GUARANTEE ANYTHING UPFRONT. KIA MOTORS AMERICA, INC. 111 PETERS CANYON RD IRVINE CA 9260 ON FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 2019, 8:43:00 AM CDT GOOD MORNING, I WOULD RECOMMEND TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO YOUR LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM DIAGNOSE THE CONCERN. TYPICALLY, THE REPAIR CAN ONLY BE REPAIRED ONCE, BUT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT TO SEE WHAT IS CAUSING THAT TO OCCUR. I AM NOT TECHNICALLY TRAINED IN MY OFFICE, SO I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THE CS1603, OR RECALL, COULD BE CAUSING THIS OR NOT. A KIA DEALERSHIP WOULD BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT. IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE SETTING UP AN APPOINTMENT PLEASE LET ME KNOW, AND I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP. SUBJECT: RE: 13091874 YES, MY CONCERN IS THAT I TOOK MY 2011 KIA SORENTO INTO THE LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP FOR A DOOR LOCK RECALL WHILE I WASN'T HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. THEY DID A REPAIR. NOW, EVERY SO OFTEN, THE ONLY DOOR LOCK, WHERE YOU CAN PUT A KEY IN, YOU TURN THE KEY, AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THEN YOU TURN THE KEY AGAIN AND THE FRONT AND BACK DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK. IN SOME CASES NOT. SO, I AM NOW HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR

MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. HAD DRIVEN DAY BEFORE. WENT TO START AND HEAR CLICKING NOISE LIKE STARTER PROBLEM. CALL TOW TRUCK TO TAKE TO SHOP $92.32. SHORT IN WIRING DOWN BY STARTER ASSEMBELY. REQUIRED REPAIR AND RETEST OF SYSTEM. $311.39

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, THEN MY HORN STOPPED WORKING AND NOW THE CRUISE CONTROL IS NOT WORKING. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE A SAFETY RECALL AS OF I'M A ACCIDENT MY AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE RECALL AND FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. THERE IS NOTHING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IT DOES NOT GO AWAY WHEN TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON. THIS MEANS THAT'S THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE CASEBOOK OF AN ACCIDENT WHICH IS A HAZARD.

WHEN SPEEDING UP TRANSMISSION. WILL SHIFT HARD. THE VEHICLE LOOSES POWER AND I HAVE TO PULL OVER, SHUT IT OFF, WAIT A MINUTE TO RESTART THEN BEGIN DRIVING AGAIN

DRIVING DOWN HWY. O IN ORRICK MO WITH TWO OTHER PASSENGERS MY DAUGHTER 15 AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER 5. AROUND 5PM SATURDAY HUNE 2ND A SMELL OF SMOKE CAME THROUGH FRONT VENTS. AS I STARTED TO PULL OVER A SWOOSH SOUND CAME FROM THE CAR AND FLAMES SHOT OUT OF THE HOOD OF THE CAR. THEN FROM UNDER THE DASH INSIDE. THROUGH THE CAR IN PARK AND OPEN THE DOOR. RAN TO GET MY GRANDDAUGHTER OUT OF HER CAR SEAT AND A THIRD PASSENGER MY DAUGHTER GOT OUT OF THE BACKSEAT AS WELL. WITH IN MINUTES THE CAR WAS TOTALLY IN FLAMES.*DT VIN UNKNOWN. CONSUMER STATED SHE SUFFERED 2ND DEGREE BURNS. *JB

DRIVERS BACK SIDE DOOR LOCKS AND WILL NOT REOPEN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT GO IN THE BACK SEAT AND ONLY ONE WORKING BACK DOOR IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY I CANNOT GET TO MY KIDS IN TIME. MY LOBSTER WORK IN ONE DAY AND THE NEXT DAY WHEN I WENT OUT TO OPEN THE DOOR IT WOULD NO LONGER OPEN. THE CHILDREN'S SAFETY SYSTEM WAS ENGAGED ON THE DOOR SO THAT MY SON CANNOT OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE FOR US.

I HAVE A HEAD LIGHTS THAT KEEP GOING IN AND OUT . I HAVE HAD IT REPAIRS A LOT OF TIMES BUT IT KEEPS DOING IT . ITHEN GOT A PAPER IN THE MAIL FOR A EXTENSION ON THE LIGHTS FOR MY MODEL VEHICLE CAUSE THE CONNECTORS IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SO I TOOK IT TO KIA. THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE I HAD IT FIXED SO MANY TIME THAT THERES NOT ENOUGH WIRE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN THIS WAS ON MAY 14 2019 AND THEY SAID THAT MY WHOLE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE CHANGED IN ORDER TO FIX IT BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO ASK KIA FOR COVERAGE . ON MAY 30TH I CALLED AGAIN TO SEE IF THEY WERE GONNA COVER IT AND THEY SAID NO EVEN THO THIS A SAFETY CONCERN. THAT BECAUSE I DIDN'T GO TO THEM TO FIX IT IN THE FIRST PLACE THEY WONT COVER IT .

AIR BAG MALFUNCTION. LIGHT ON BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL AND LIGHT STILL ON DEALER SAID IT WAS OCS MAT THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND NOT INCLUDED IN PREVIOUS RECALL. SO I STILL HAVE NO AIRBAG AND THEY ARE REQUESTING $2,000+ TO FIX. SAFTEY ISSUE IS STILL NOT TAKEN CARE OF AND PUTTING ME AND MY CHILDREN IN HARMS WAY.

MY KIA SORENTO 2011 THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON FOR DAYS WHEN I STARTED THE CAR AND WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL IT GOES OFF THAN GOES ON WHEN I STRAIT IT IN MOVEMENT OR NOT THE LIGHT IS ON .SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THAT HAVE TO BE RECALL.

FAULTY OCS MAT SENSOR PREVENTS AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT

REAR DRIVER'S SIDE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF WHILE TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLE RENDERS THAT DOOR USELESS, AND IN AN EMERGENCY, THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE EXTERIOR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY/ PARKED WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE BROKE. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE WITH THE KIA SORRENTO. THE LOCAL KIA DEALERSHIP, WHEN ASKED, STATED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN, BUT THERE IS NOT YET A RECALL. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE DOOR "LATCH", WHICH DID NOT COVER THE HANDLE ITSELF. A RECALL OF A DOOR "LATCH" SHOULD INCLUDE THE HANDLE, IF BROKEN.

I TOOK MY 2011 KIA SORENTO IN TO KIA MOTORS IN AMERICAN FORK, UTAH TO GET THE AIRBAG LIGHT CHECKED OUT. IT HAS BEEN ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE OCS MAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1600 TO FIX. SINCE MY AIRBAGS CAN NOT DETECT ANYTHING WITHOUT GETTING THIS PART REPLACED, ITS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I'M DRIVING AND ACCELERATE THE CAR DON'T SHIFTING THE GEAR OR ITS DELAYING. SOMETIME IT NOT SHIFTING FROM 4 HT SPEED AND UP. I READ ON INTERNET ABOUT MANY COMPLAINS AND ABOUT RECALLS IN 2015 REGARDING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. HTTPS://WWW.CARS.COM/RESEARCH/KIA-SORENTO-2011/RECALLS/ PLEASE HELP ME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM

I OWN A 2011 SORENTO (NOT A GDI ENGINE) THAT EXPERIENCED A SPUN ROD BEARING AND ENGINE FAILURE (ENGINE LIMP). MY SONS WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN OUR KIA SORENTO WHEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE ENGINE FAILED. THANKFULLY, MY SONS WERE ABLE TO SAFELY TRANSITION OFF THE HIGHWAY THROUGH HIGH-SPEED TRAFFIC IN "LIMP MODE". MY SONS WERE QUICKLY ABLE TO FIND ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND DIAGNOSTICS DUPLICATING WHAT THEY HAD JUST EXPERIENCED - SPUN ROD BEARING. I WAS INSTRUCTED BY KIA CORPORATE THAT I SHOULD TOW MY VEHICLE TO A KIA DEALER FOR OFFICIAL DIAGNOSTICS ($140). THE DEALER CONFIRMED THE CAR EXPERIENCE A SPUN ROD BEARING AND ENGINE FAILURE REQUIRING A $6,500 ENGINE REPLACEMENT. IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT MY MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE KIA ENGINE RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE RECALL LIMITS WHEN THE ROD BEARING DEFECT CAUSES THE ENGINE FAILURE REGARDLESS OF THE ENGINE TYPE.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, WHEN ENGINE SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED OR ANYTHING. THE INDICATOR NEVER WENT UP TO HOT, THERE WAS NO STEAM FROM THE RADIATOR--ONLY A THICK CLOUD OF BLACK SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND THE ENGINE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT ENGINE HAD COOKED ITSELF FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE OIL AND FLUIDS WERE GOOD EXCEPT ALL THE COOLANT HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT AND THAT IT WAS A DEFECTIVE ENGINE. SPOKE TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND WERE TOLD THEY HAD ENCOUNTERED MANY OTHER KIA SORENTO THAT DID THE SAME THING. ENGINE WOULD SUDDENLY JUST STOP. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND THEREFORE NOT COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE ENGINES AND/OR VEHICLES. IT IS GONNA COST ME OVER $5000 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE!

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR 2 WEEKS AGO MAY 4 THAND THE CAR DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I GOT SOMEONE TO HELP PUSH THE CAR IN THERE DRIVEWAY. WHEN BACK THE NEXT DAY WITH A MECANIC HE TOLD ME THE CAR ENGINE NEED TO BE REPLACED. DIDN'T BELIEVE HIM CAUSE I BROUGHT THE CAR 3 YRS AGO. BEFORE THE CAR DIE THE CHECK ENGINE TURN ON THAN DIE. THE SEATBELT TURN IN 1 MONTH AGO .NOW I HAVE 9000 LEFT ON THE CAR THE WON'T WRONG TAKE BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP WON'T MAKE A STRADES

PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR LOCKED, UNABLE TO OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE MANUALLY OR WITH REMOTE. PREVIOUSLY DOOR WAS REPAIRED DUE TO RECALL, DOOR HANDLE BROKE OFF ALSO DOOR LOCKS MALFUNCTIONING. VEHICLE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION WONT OPEN. PLEASE ADVISE.

FOUND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 85,000 MILES ON IT. NOW MY VEHICLE HAS ALMOST 100,000 MILES AND THE WIPERS ONLY WORK ON HIGH AND OCCASIONALLY DON'T EVEN WORK AT ALL WHEN IT RAINS WHEN DRIVING. THIS HAS MADE THE CARE SCARY TO DRIVE AND WE DON'T DRIVE IT WHEN IT RAINS. BROUGHT THE CAR IN THE KIA AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AS WELL.

MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. I PUT MY TWO GRANDSONS IN THE VEHICLE ONE ON EACH SIDE PUT THE SAFETY LOCKS ON THE NEXT DAY THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE

'TAMARA RECALL' I WAS TRAVELING UP THE INTERSTATE SLIGHTLY UPHILL AT 55 MILES AN HOUR WHEN I BEGIN TO LOSE POWER\SPEED AND BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO THE SHOULDER IT LOST ALL POWER TO GATHER AND SMOKE STARTED COMING IN THE AC VENT WHEN I GOT IT STOPPED AND OPEN THE HOOD IT WAS BURNING AT THE BACK RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE MOTOR ON SOME WIRING HARNESS I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT I LATER WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD THROWN A ROD AND WAS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE SLIGHTLY UPHILL. AT ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN MY SORENTO BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER/SPEED. BEFORE I COULD PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER SMOKE BEGAN COMING IN THROUGH THE A.C VENTS. WHEN I REACHED THE SHOULDER AND OPENED THE HOOD THE BACK RIGHT END OF THE MOTOR WAS ON FIRE FROM THE WIRING HARNESSES. I WAS ABLE TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. UPIN A MECHANIC LOOKING AT IT I WAS TOLD IT HAD THROWN A ROD AND MOST LIKELY THE FIRE.

DOOR LATCH PROBLEM, WON'T OPEN FROM INSIDE, AND THEN WON'T OPEN ON OUTSIDE. IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS KIA, FOUND A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SAME ISSUES. YOU UNLOCK THE DOOR AND DOOR LATCH WON'T UNLOCK THE DOOR . IT WILL NOT OPEN. SO YOU HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE TO OPEN . THE SECOND SIMILAR PROBLEM. DOOR UNLOCKED, BUT YOU CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR, THIS SAME ISSUES HAPPENED ON DRIVER'S SIDE!

THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND LOCKED UP, CHECKED WITH KIA ON RECALLS DUES TO I'VE SEEN SO MANY, AND AFTER TRYING TO FIND ONE AT MANY ENGINE SHOPS, THEY HAVE NONE AT THE TIME BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY WERE IN HIGH DEMAND RIGHT NOW. THE 2.4 IS FAILING, AND THE ONLY RECALL IS ON THE 2.4 TDI, BUT I HIGHLY BELIEVE KIA HAS TO BE AWARE OF THIS. MOTOR LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN REACH ACROSS THE INSIDE OF THE CAR AND OPEN.

THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE OUTSIDE NOR THE INSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN ISSUE WAS NOTICED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 KIA SORENTO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE PRODUCED A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 35-48 MPH, A DEER JUMPED OUT INTO THE STREET. THE CONTACT SWERVED AND CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FUCCILLO KIA (3900 STATE ST, SCHENECTADY, NY 12304, (518) 847-0800) WHERE THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE CONTACT SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT THE DEALER'S COLLISION SHOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE THE BODY DAMAGE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

MY VEHICLE STALLS AT TAKE OFF OFTEN AND ALSO MY HORN ONLUY SOUNDS WHEN I TURN MY STEERING WHEEL A CERTAIN POSITION . MY AIRBAG LIGHT REMAIN ON ALSO .THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPEN IN THE STREET ALSO.

DOORS ARE NOT OPENING FROM THE INSIDE NOR OUTSIDE. DOOR HANDLE BROKE ON ONE DOOR WHEN OPENING.

VEHICLE HAS 75,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS STARTED TO STALL AT LOW IDLE TIMES. MOSTLY UPON START UP BUT HAS INCREASED TO STALLING OCCASIONALLY AT STOP LIGHTS. ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON CAR WILL RESTART AND SOMETIMES ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF OTHER TIMES IT WILL STAY ON. HAS BEEN HAPPENING ABOUT 3 MONTHS NOW. HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR FAULTY DOOR HANDLE WHICH IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HAD DEALERSHIP RUN DIAGNOSTICS WHICH OF COURSE I HAD TO PAY FOR AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS READING A CPU ERROR AND THE BOARD SHOULD BE REPLACED $1,400. LOTS OF RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, DON'T SEE MYSELF BUYING ANOTHER KIA.

FIRST WARNING SIGN WAS THE HEADLIGHT, LOW BEAMS, AND ALL INTERIOR ELECTRONICS WOULD SHUT COMPLETELY OFF FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS RANDOMLY WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL WAS USED. NEXT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT, LOW BEAM, WENT OUT WHEN REPLACING THE BULB THE REPLACEMENT BULB WORKED UNTIL THE BULB WAS PLACED IN THE SOCKET. AFTER CLEANING THE SOCKETS TO CREATE A BETTER CONNECTION, STILL NOTHING WORKED. I SWITCHED BULBS FROM DRIVER TO PASSENGER TO SEE IF THE BULB WOULD GET A GOOD CONNECTION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW NEITHER LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WORKS. THIS IS A LIGHT SWITCH ISSUE THAT WAS RECALLED FOR 2012-16 KIA SORENTO'S BUT I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IN A 2011.

PASSENGER DOOR FRONT AND REAR DO NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. A VERY LARGE KNOWN ISSUE FROM KIA SORENTOS, MAINLY 2011 THAT KIA WANTS ME TO PAY 668.00 PER DOOR FOR A 1.50 PIECE. THIS ISSUE IN MY MIND IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT THEY DO NOT AGREE. I HAVE A FEAR ALL 4 OF DOORS MAY HAVE THIS ISSUE AT SOME TIME. CLEARLY AFTER LOOKING AT GOOGLE THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THE SAME. HE SAID HE HAS FIXED HUNDREDS OF THESE

MY KIA SORENTO 2011. MY PROBLEM IS THAT MY CAR STARTED ACTING DIFFERENT. EVERY TIME I TURN IT MAKES A NOISE. I GOT THE BALL JOINT DONE. THE RIGHT SITE. ALSO I GOT THE STRUT DONE . I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED NEW STRUT AGAIN. .WENT I DRIVE IT SOUND LIKE IF THE CAR GONNA FALL APART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 KIA SORENTO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERNAL OIL CONSUMPTION FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE OIL TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE REFILLED IN THE VEHICLE. AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS PROVIDED BY BENSON KIA OF SPARTANBURG (1100 N PINE ST, SPARTANBURG, SC 29303, (864) 585-3611) AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE RADIATOR. AFTER THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST WAS RENDERED, THE OIL LEAKED UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CAMPAIGN FOR THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY AND OIL CONSUMPTION FAILURES DUE TO THE VEHICLE'S MAINTENANCE RECORD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR STALLS AND JERKS WHEN DRIVING.WHEN PLACING IN DRIVE IT TAKES OFF VERY SLOW AND UNDER POWER.WHILE DRIVING THE CAR CHANGED GEARS ON ITS OWN EVEN JERKING HARD.

ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE CAR MOVING. NO INDICATION NO LIGHTS ACROSS DASH AND LOST ALL POWER.

CAN NOT OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE LAST YEAR WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR.

MY VEHICLE HAS CONTINUOUSLY MELTED WIRING HARNESS AFTER WIRING HARNESS THAT RUN MY HEADLIGHTS. NOT SURE IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY, I JUST NOTICE IT WHEN I AM DOWN TO ONE HEADLIGHT. THIS HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO DRIVE IN THE DARK WITH ONE HEADLIGHT. ALSO IT REALLY SCARES ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS MELTING WIRES THAT CONNECT TO OTHER WIRES THAT COULD EASILY CAUSE A FIRE!

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON YESTERDAY...AND SUSPENSION WHILE DRYING TRIALS YOU OVER IN LEFT LANE IF YOU HIT A BUMP

MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS KEEP BLOWING OUT, MY REAR WIND SHIELD WIPER DOESN'T LAY ON THE GLASS. THEREFORE, IT DOESN'T CLEAN WELL, THE SEATBELT IN THE MIDDLE ROW KEEPS FALLING IN THE SEAT CRACK MAKING IT HARD TO GET OUT AND BUCKLE UP. MY REAR KIA SYMBOL IS CHIPPING PAINT.

SO THIS MORNING I'M JUST HEADING TO WORK AND MY KIA START A LIMP MODE WHICH IT STOP IN MIDDLE OF A HIGHWAY AND THEIR WHERE KIDS IN THE CAR IT HAS A BUNCH OF LIGHT ON

MY SORENTO MAKES A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN I HIT A BUMP, POTHOLE AND WHEN. PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. OR TURNING THE WHEEL AT SCHOOL CIRCLE DROP OFF. I TOOK CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES. THE MECHANIC TEST DROVE AND CHECKED FRONTEND OF CAR HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. HE FOUND VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN.SC 082A IT SAY THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT NEED REPLACED. IT DRIVE GOOD BUT, IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS GONNA FALL APART. THE NOSIE IS GETTING WORSE. MY CAR WAS BUILT JUNE 4TH 2010. THE VOLUNTARY SERVICE IS BETWEEN OCT23 2009-MAY22 2010. COULD I PLEASE HAVE MY CAR ADDED BY EXTENDED THE CAMPAIGN SERVICE. SC 082A. APRIL 2011. I HAVE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON APRIL 4TH TO GET THREE OTHER RECALLS TO GET FIXED.

LAST WEEK THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN MY CAR AND APPARENTLY IT IS THE COIL SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. FROM WHAT WE HAVE DONE OUR RESEARCH ON, THIS IS COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT IS NOT A RECALL. I DO BELIEVE THAT IF THE IS OCCURING IN SEVERAL OF THESE MODELS, IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IF THE CAR IS WRECKED. I WOULD APPRECIATE PROPER CHANGE FOR THIS TO BE A RECALL.
