2011 Kia Sorento complaints

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTING "H11" PIGTAIL IS A MELTED CONNECTOR AND THE LOW BEAM LIGHTING IS GOING OUT CONSTANTLY. WE HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS AND THE PIGTAIL TWICE THIS YEAR.

HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM LIGHT NOT WORKING. REPLACED BULB AND WITHIN A FEW WEEKS, IT WOULD WORK INTERMITTENTLY. I COULD WIGGLE THE CONNECTION AND LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON. THEN THAT NO LONGER WORKED. I TOOK THE BULB OUT OF THE CONNECTION TO REPLACE AND NOTICED THE CONNECTION WAS MELTED WHERE THE BULB CONNECTS TO THE WIRE HARNESS. I REMOVED BULB UNTIL CONNECTION CAN BE REPLACED.

CLEAR COAT PEELING ALL OVER ROOF AND SIDES OF RIGHT SIDE PASSENGER DOORS AND SOME ON FENDER AND ON HOOD

I CAN NOT OPEN BOTH DRIVER DOOR AND REAR RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR FROM OUTSIDE IT SEEMS THE LATCHES FOR THESE DOORS ARE BROKEN I HAVE ALWAYS TO JUMP TO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO OPEN THESE DOORS.I THINK THERE MUST BE A RECALL TO BE REPORTED TO KIA MANUFACTURERS TO FIX THIS DEFECTIVE DOORS.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. WHEN ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER TO THE A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. THE LIGHT STAYED ON.

NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS, BOTH THE ESC AND DBC INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND STAY ON AS I'M ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS PREVENTED ME FROM SHIFTING THE CAR INTO 'PARK' AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AS I CAN'T GET IT TO SHIFT BEYOND 'NEUTRAL.' WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I'VE HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND START IT AGAIN. IF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS GO OFF AFTER RESTARTING, I CAN THEN SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK. I BROUGHT THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL KIA DEALER THIS MORNING BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE, AND SINCE THEY DIDN'T HAVE A TECHNICIAN ON DUTY TO LOOK AT IT, I NOW HAVE TO RETURN ON MONDAY IN THE HOPE THAT THEY CAN FIGURE OUT AND FIX THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE JERKS AROUND 40 MILES PER HOUR. NO CODES

ALL STEERING WHEEL FUNCTION HAVE STOP WORKING INCLUDING HORN. RADIO, CRUISE AND BLUE TOOTH CONTROLS. DURING A TRIP ON THE HIGH WAY

MY DAUGHTER IS 21 YEARS OLDS AND SHE PURCHASED 2011 KIA SORENTO FROM PETE'S KAR SMART KIA IN AMARILLO. SHE GOES TO COLLEGE IN LINCOLN NEBRASKA AND HER CAR IS NOT HOLDING OIL. SHE HAS ON 2 OCCASIONS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME HAD HER OIL LIGHT COME ON AND WHEN SHE CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS BONE DRY. THIS IS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. WE CAN GET NO RESOLUTION FROM KIA AS SHE HAS TAKEN IT TO KIA IN AMARILLO AND IN LINCOLN. I HAVE GOOGLED THIS ISSUE FOR THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND THEIR HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMMENTS FROM OTHERS SHARING THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2011 KIA NOT HOLDING OIL. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY DAUGHTER'S SAFETY. IF SHE BREAKS DOWN ON SHE SIDE OF THE ROAD DUE THIS ISSUE AS SHE HAS TO DRIVE 10 HOURS TO COME HOME. PLEASE CONSIDER INVESTIGATING AND REVIEWING THIS ISSUE. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS MATTER. SHE GOT THE CAR TOWARDS THE END OF APRIL/ FIRST OF MAY

MY CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREET. THE ENGINE LIGHT OR DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ALTHOUGH IT IS ON. AFTER CONTINOUSLY TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR CUTS OFF. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF AND IT STARTS AGAIN. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE I CAN BE HIT BY ANOTHER WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY DECIDES TO NOT ACCELERATE. THE COMPONENT PART OR SYSTEM THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE IS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLES INTERIOR LIGHTS, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS AND OTHER PANEL LIGHTS CLICK AND FLICKER OFF AND ON DURING VARIOUS PERIODS OF TIME. THE HEADLIGHTS STAY OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND REPETITIVELY AT RANDOM TIMES. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH EARLY IN THE MORNING, IN THE EVENINGS, IT ALSO HAPPENS JUST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY TO THE DASH LIGHTS AND WITH THE CLICKING. THIS HAS OCCURRED IN WINTER AS WELL AS SUMMER.
