Power train, automatic transmissionOct 6, 2015
Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain model year 2011-2013 Kia Sorento vehicles manufactured October 19, 2009, to January 31, 2013. In the affected vehicles, if excessive force is applied to the gear shift lever, the brake-shift interlock mechanism may chip or crack allowing the transmission being able to be shifted out of "Park" without the brakes being depressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection."
Without requiring the brake to be pressed, the vehicle may be unintentionally shifted out of Park, allowing it to roll, which may result in a crash.
Kia will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake-shift interlock mechanism, free of charge. The recall began on November 9, 2015. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC124.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchApr 1, 2013
Kia Motors Corporation (Kia) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Rondo, model year 2007-2011 Sedona, Sorento and Sportage, model year 2010-2011 Soul, model year 2008-2011 Optima, model year 2010 Forte, model year 2007-2009 Amanti, and model year 2009 Borrego vehicles. Originally, in April 2013, Kia recalled 623,658 model year 2007-2010 Rondo and Sportage, model year 2007-2011 Sorento, model year 2007 Sedona, model year 2010-2011 Soul, and model year 2011 Optima vehicles. In September 2013, Kia informed the agency that it was adding an additional 356,719 vehicles to this campaign. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 980,377. In the affected vehicles, the stop lamp switch may malfunction. A malfunctioning stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to not illuminate when the brake pedal is depressed or may cause an inability to deactivate the cruise control by depressing the brake pedal. Additionally, a malfunctioning stop lamp switch may also result in intermittent operation of the push-button start feature, affect the operation of the brake-transmission shift interlock feature preventing the shifter from being moved out of the PARK position and cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) malfunction light to illuminate.
Failure to illuminate the stop lamps during braking or inability to disengage the cruise control could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, when the ignition is in the 'ON' position, the transmission shifter may be able to be moved out of PARK without first applying the brake. This may lead to unintentional movement of the car which may increase the risk of a crash.
Kia will send an interim notification to owners in May 2013. When parts are available, owners will receive a second notification and dealers will replace the stop lamp switch, free of charge. Owners may contact Kia at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's recall campaign number is SC098.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS CAME ON. KIA MARKED IT AS BAD AND I HAD A SECOND DIAGNOSTIC DONE AT A SHOP I HAVE BEEN GOING TO FOR OVER 6 YEARS. IT CAME BACK THAT THERE IS A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. SOMETHING I HAVE NO CONTROL OF MESSING UP. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT SO THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT'S BEEN ON FOR 1 MONTH NOW. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AND NOW KIA WON'T FIX IT. THEY WARNED ME THAT IF IN A CAR ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. APPARENTLY THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ONLINE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN I COMMUTE WITH EVERYDAY AND I THINK KIA SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS TO AVOID LAWSUIT IN THE FUTURE. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CUSTOMER IS RIGHT AND PROVIDING EXCELLENT SERVICE TO HAVE CUSTOMERS COME BACK? I REGRET BUYING A KIA.

MY 2011 SORENTO ONLY HAS 89500 MILES AND YESTERDAY MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND THEY SAID IT HAS TO BE DIAGNOSED TO SEE THE PROBLEM. IT WILL COST $120.00 JUST TO DIAGNOSE. I HAVE GONE ON LINE TO SEE IF THIS A RARE EVENT AND TO MY SURPRISE IT IS NOT. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER TO CHECK IT OUT. I FEEL THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE INEXPENSIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NHTSA SHOULD GET KIA TO CLEAN THERE ACT BEFORE SOMEONE DIES!!

VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE TURNING OUT OF CHURCH PARKING LOT. APPLYING ACCEL PEDAL BARELY POWERED THE VEHICLE BUT MADE METALLIC GRINDING NOISE. PULLED OVER AND PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, BUT PARK DID NOT STOP VEHICLE FROM ROLLING DOWNHILL. PARKING BRAKE WAS APPLIED UNTIL VEHICLE COULD BE TOWED HOME. ON INSPECTION, RIGHT DRIVE SHAFT AND TRANSMISSION OUTPUT GEAR WERE BOTH FOUND TO HAVE WORN. THERE WAS A RECALL AND SERVICE HAD ALREADY BEEN PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE TO PREVENT THIS FAILURE (RC079-SORENTO (XM) INTERMEDIATE SHAFT REPAIR (2WD VEHICLES).

MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I CAN OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE, BUT NOT THE OUTSIDE. IT IS NOT LOCKED AND SEEMS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO ALL OF THE OTHER SORENTO OWNERS AND COMPLAINTS OUT THERE. I'M TERRIFIED...WHAT IF A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION OCCURS AND THE ONLY DOOR I CAN USE IS THE DRIVERS SIDE AND IT WON'T OPEN? NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY DOOR TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I CAME OUT TO THE GARAGE ONE MORNING AND IT WOULDN'T WORK.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES RED ON MY 2011 KIA SORENTO WITH 55,000 MILES. THIS INDICATES THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH. ALTHOUGH KIA MOTORS HAS SENT OUT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING ASSEMBLY, THIS AIRBAG FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED UNDER CODE B1764, AND IS A DEFECTIVE SEAT CUSHION WITH A REPLACEMENT COST OF $1300. THIS DEFECTIVE PART SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR AIRBAGS, OR DETERMINE AN ALTERNATE FIX. A DEFECTIVE PART THAT IS NOT CRITICAL IN A CRASH HAS RENDERED MY AIRBAGS USELESS.

HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM BULBS ARE BURNING OUT AT THE RATE OF ONE (1) TO TWO (2) WEEKS. THE LEFT BULB BURNED OUT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AGO BOTH OF THE LOW BEAM BULBS BURNED OUT AT NIGHT WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME FROM CHURCH. SHE ALMOST WRECKED BEFORE SHE TURNED THE LIGHTS ON HIGH BEAM. SINCE THEN THE LEFT SIDE BULB HAD BURNED OUT TWICE. I HAVE REPLACE THESE BULBS AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $15.00 EACH. I AM AFRAID THAT THE LIGHTS ARE GOING TO GO OUT WHEN DRIVING WHEN IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CHANGE TO HIGH BEAM. THE LAST BULB BURNED OUT JUST LAST NIGHT WHEN IT WAS DARK.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THE PAST 3 YEARS, THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT SOCKET HAS MELTED, MAKING THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT NON-FUNCTIONAL. I DO NOT USE MY LOW BEAMS AS DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND, AFTER THE FIRST MELTDOWN OF THE SOCKET, I CONSCIOUSLY TRIED TO USE THE HEADLIGHTS SPARINGLY. THE MANUAL REFERENCES A 55 WATT REPLACEMENT BULB AND THAT IS WHAT I AM USING. THE AUTO PARTS STORE CLERK ALSO LOOKED UP THE REPLACEMENT BULB AND GUIDED ME TO THE BULB I AM USING. I AM CONCERNED THE MELTED SOCKET COULD CAUSE A FIRE AND, THEREFORE, I FEAR DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, IN THE RAIN, OR AT ANY OTHER TIME LOW BEAMS ARE REQUIRED. MY MECHANIC THOUGHT IT IS A VOLTAGE PROBLEM. WITH A 6-YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND NEARLY 150,000 MILES, I AM RELUCTANT TO SINK A LARGE SUM OF MONEY INTO REPAIRS. GIVEN THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THE SOCKETS HAVE MELTED (2X PASSENGER SIDE; 1X DRIVER SIDE), I BELIEVE THIS IS A CHRONIC ISSUE THAT KIA SHOULD ADDRESS. A SIMPLE INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THIS PROBLEM IS NOT AN ISSUE SOLELY WITH MY SORENTO, BUT IS A MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.
