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.

ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2020 MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING OUR 2013 KIA SORRENTO TO GET MY WINDSHIELD REPLACED AS IT HAD A CRACK IN IT. WE HAD DRIVEN DOWN THE MOUNTAIN FROM WHERE WE LIVE TO HICKORY, NC WHERE IT WAS CHEAPER TO GET IT REPLACED. WE HAD DRIVEN ABOUT AN HOUR AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AND WE HAD NOT BEEN HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH IT STARTING, RUNNING OR MAKING ANY KIND OF NOISES IN THE TIME LEADING UP TO THIS DAY. WE CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE JUST STOPPED AND WOULD NOT START UP AGAIN, MY HUSBAND SAID THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING HOT AND THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF OIL OR ANTIFREEZE IN THE ROAD. I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND PUSHED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, WHILE MY HUSBAND STIRRED THE CAR BECAUSE WE LOST ALL STEERING FOR THE CAR. WE CONTINUED TO TRY TO START IT, BUT WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. WE ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP IN HICKORY, NC (PARAMOUNT KIA). IT WAS ON A SATURDAY SO THEY WERE SHORT STAFFED, BUT WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE V6 ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND IT NEEDED A STARTER AND A NEW BATTERY. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS GOING TO COST OVER $6,000.00 TO GET IT FIXED. HOW COULD AN ENGINE WITH AROUND 114,000.00 MILES JUST STOP RUNNING AT A RED LIGHT WITH NO WARNING AND HOW DOES THE BATTERY AND STARTER ALSO GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME? WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE THEY WERE GOING TO PUT IN THE CAR ALREADY HAD 88,000 MILES ON IT (I HAVE ATTACHED THE QUOTE AND DIAGNOSIS SHEET)I HAVE ALL OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS. IT WAS GOING TO COST THIS MUCH AND THIS WAS NOT EVEN A NEW ENGINE AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THIS ENGINE WOULD LAST IF IT ALREADY HAS THIS MANY MILES ON IT? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF AN ENGINE JUST STOPPING LIKE THAT. I KNOW KIA HAS RECALLS FOR 4 CYLINDERS, BUT I WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE V6 AS WELL.*DT*AS

THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER AT ALL AND I HAD TOWED MY CAR TO THE NEAREST REPAIR SHOP AND I FOUND OUT THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED UP. THE ENGINE OIL WAS REPLACED THREE WEEKS AGO AND THE CAR WAS DRIVING GREAT WITHOUT A PROBLEM UNTIL NOW.

MY ENGINE IS BURNING A LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL. I TAKE IT IN TO DO REGULAR CHANGES. I HAVE A 2013 KIA SORENTO. IT HAS 136000 MILES JUST RECENTLY THE OIL LIGHT STARTED COMING ON, CHECKED THE DIP STICK AND IT REGISTERS NONE. ITS BEEN TAKEN FOR REGULAR OIL CHANGES BUT BURNS UP THE OIL BEFORE ITS TIME FOR A CHSNGE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. ALSO IVE SEEN NUMEROUS WHITE SORENTOS ON THE ROAD AND MOST OF THEM HAVE THE SAME PAINT PROBLEM ON THE ROOF RIGHT ABOVE WINDSHIELD. ITS PEELING OFF AND GETTING WORSE. ALSO CRACKING AROUND KIA SYMBOL ON REAR HATCH. IT STARTED WITH RUST SPOTS THEN, CRACKING THEN PAINT PEELING. THE ENGINE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEMS WITH KIA OWNERS AND THE PAINT OBVIOUSLY IS A DEFECT FROM THE FACTORY. LOVE MY SORENTO BUT NEED THESE ISSUES FIXED.

THE ENGINE SEIZED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS NO WARNING. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WARNING. THERE WASN'T AN OIL LAMP INDICATING LOW OIL.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2013 KIA SORENTO SX, THE OIL SWITCH FAILED AND LEAKED OUT ALL THE OIL IN ONE DAY (LESS THAN 15 MILES) CAUSING ENGINE ISSUES. THE ISSUE HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION AND THE OIL LIGHT FLICKERED ON AND OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE ENGINES.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT WARNING AND TWO MINUTES LATER MY ENGINE SEIZED IN THE MIDDLE OF A 4 LANE HIGHWAY AROUND A BLIND TURN. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE AS I COULDN'T MOVE MY VEHICLE AND CARS TRUCKS WERE ZOOMING BY AT 80 MPH. I HAD TO GET MY CAR PUSHED OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY, LATER TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP. WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY SHOT. THIS IS COMMON WITH KIA ENGINES AS MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN. MY MAKE AND MODEL HAVE HAD RECALLS BUT NOT MY VIN#. SEEMS HOWEVER I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY WAS MY ENGINE NOT RECALLED? I'M LUCKY I WASN'T SERIOUSLY HARMED BUT NOW I'M LEFT WITHOUT A CAR AND FEAR LOOSING MY JOB BC I DON'T HAVE A WAY TO COMMUTE 35 MINUTES TO WORK NOW.

2013 KIA SORENTO, 2.4L. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR, ACCELERATOR POSITION SENSOR, AND THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. SYMPTOMS OF THE PROBLEM ARE THIS, AFTER DRIVING TO ACHIEVE FULL OPERATING TEMP, LET THE CAR IDLE FOR 15 MINUTES, PULL OUT AND GET ON HIGHWAY, SLOW ACCELERATION, AND AT 2000 RPMS, THE CAR VIOLENTLY JERKS ABOUT 3 TIMES, TACH GOES TO 1000 RPM, ACCELERATOR IS NON RESPONSIVE BUT ENGINE DOES NOT DIE, AFTER ABOUT 4-5 SECONDS, THE ENGINE BEGINS TO RESPOND NORMALLY, NO CODES ARE CAPTURED, NO INDICATION TO WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I DID BRING MY CAR IN NOT LONG AGO AND THEY RE-FLASHED THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION, AND THIS NEW SOFTWARE MAY BE AT FAULT. IT IS NON REPRODUCIBLE TO DEMO TO THE KIA MECHANIC. BUT CAN HAPPEN AS SAID ABOVE BUT NOT RELIABLY. I PLAN TO GET A FULL ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSTIC OF THE MAIN COMPUTER, THE BODY CONTROLLER, AND TRANSMISSION CONTROLLERS TO SEE WHERE THE FAULT IS. I QUESTION THE HEALTH OF THE MAIN COMPUTER AS NO CODES ARE RECORDED.....SAMPLING RATE SEEMS TO BE IN QUESTION. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT 60 MPH OR 30 MPH, AT LOWER SPEEDS SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE WILL TOTALLY QUITE ABOUT 30 PERCENT OF THE TIME, OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN BUT IN "LIMP MODE" AND NON RESPONSIVE. I SEE THIS AS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE, YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT WILL DIE. IT ALSO SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS COMMANDED TO A LOWER GEAR AT HIGH SPEED AND AFTER THE JERKS, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN SO DAMAGE WILL NOT OCCUR TO TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE. IF ENGINE DOES NOT SHUT DOWN FULLY, IT SEEMS LIKE IT TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS FOR THE COMPUTER(S) TO RESET AND RESUME "NORMAL" OPERATIONS. ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN IN MOTION, NEVER STATIONARY ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY AT 60 +MPH.
