MY 2014 KIA SORENTO RECENTLY HAD AN ENGINE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SO I STARTED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE MIDDLE LANE I HEARD A LOUD POP COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I LOST ALL ACCELERATION AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. BEFORE THE ENGINE QUIT WORKING THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON MY DASH AND TEMPERATURE OF THE ENGINE WAS NORMAL. AS SOON AS THE ENGINE QUIT WORKING THE OIL LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED 17 MILES AND 150 DOLLARS LATER I WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY SEIZED UP. THEY CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND SAID IT WAS HALF OF A QUART LOW. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND ALL OF THE MILES PUT ON IT ARE FREEWAY MILES DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK. THIS ENGINE HAS BEEN BURNING UP OIL LIKE CRAZY EVERYTIME I TOOK IT IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE OR REPLACED THE OIL MYSELF IT HAS BEEN LOW AND VERY BLACK. THE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT UP ON PER SPEC'S OF THE MANUFACTURER.

MY VEHICLE HAS AUTOMATIC LOCKING DOORS AND WILL LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN SHIFTING THE SUV FROM PARK INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE AND THEN WILL UNLOCK ONCE PLACED BACK IN PARK. HOWEVER RECENTLY THIS FUNCTION STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER AND THE LOCKS ON THE DOORS WILL NO LONGER LOCK WHEN SHIFTING THE CAR FROM PARK INTO ANOTHER GEAR CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. FURTHERMORE, DUE TO THIS ELECTRICAL/SAFETY ISSUE THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE DOOR NO LONGER WORKS AND AS WELL DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. NOR CAN I LOCK THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB. IN GOOGLING THIS PROBLEM, I HAVE FOUND OUT THOUSANDS OF OTHER KIA OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND THE ONLY REMEDY FROM KIA IS TO REPLACE A $1500 COMPUTER AS IN MANUFACTURING THEY SOLDERED A $3 RELAY SWITCH ONTO THE COMPUTER BOARD AND THEY WILL NOT /CANNOT REPLACE THE FAULTY RELAY THAT SEEMS TO BE CAUSING THIS PROBLEM. HENCE THIS IS THE REASON WHY I AM REACHING OUT TO THE NHTSA AS I FEEL THAT THIS IS A ELECTRICAL /SAFETY ISSUE AND THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK MY VEHICLE SECURELY IS TO WALK AROUND THE VEHICLE AND LOCK EACH DOOR INDIVIDUALLY. PLEASE HELP ME AND THE OTHER THOUSAND OF KIA OWNERS WHOM ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THE RADIO AND TO UNLOCK THE DOORS WERE WORKING BECAUSE I HAD JUST DROPPED MY KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL, WENT TO TURN THE ENGINE ON THE RADIO STOP WORKING THE WINDOWS IT WON'T GO DOWN STOP WORKING AND THE DOOR OPENER BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE DOORS STOP WORKING. THE TIRE LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING AND THERE IS SOME WIERD NOISE LIKE VIBRATION COMING FROM THE ENGINE ONLY WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE AND THE AIR CONDITIONER COMES ON FULL BLAST.

WAS DRIVING ON STATE HIGHWAY WHILE PASSING SLOWER MOVING VEHICLES. CAR SHUT OFF WHILE MOVING AT 60-65MPH WHILE OVERTAKING VEHICLES. PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE AS THE CAR HAD SHUTOFF COMPLETELY. TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT BEGIN THE STARTING PROCESS AT ALL. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SEMI-GRINDING NOISE AND CLICK. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MECHANIC AND THEY HAVE DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND IS 'BLOWN'. CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 85K MILES.

THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY LOW AND I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS ON AT NIGHT. CHANGING NEW BULBS DOESN'T FIX THE PROBLEM!
Service brakes, Feb 14, 2020
BOTH FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP, MECHANIC SAID NEED REPLACE CALIPERS AND HE HAS NEVER SEEN BOTH GO OUT AT SAME TIME. ALSO THE ABS LIGHT WON'T GO OFF. THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING OUT OF CONTROL, AFTER STOPPED AND CHECKED THE ROTORS WERE EXTREMELY HOT, THEY TURNED BLUE FROM THE HEAT.
Air bags, Feb 12, 2020
AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. NO ACCIDENT. AIRBAG HAS NEVER DEPLOYED. ONE DAY TO THE NEXT NO ISSUE. NOW I AM GREATLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY.

MY 2014 KIA SORENTO HAD 38,283 MILES ON IT AND THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PRIOR TO TAKING INTO THE MECHANIC FOR REPAIR I NOTICED A CLICKING/POP SOUND WHEN I WOULD TURN MY STEERING WHEEL. I WAS ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC THAT IT WAS FAULTY PART AND WORE OUT VERY QUICKLY. I CALLED KIA TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IT ABOUT 3-6 MONTHS AND I MAY NEED TO REPLACE ANOTHER PART OF THE STEERING BUT AT THIS TIME IT IS WORKING WITHIN MANUFACTURERS SPECS. THANKS FULLY I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT COVERED THE REPAIRS, HOWEVER I STILL BELIEVE THAT KIA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS.
Engine, Feb 11, 2020
THE ENGINE HAS BEEN BURNING OIL VERY QUICKLY. WE HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND AROUND 5,000 MILES LATER, THERE WAS ZERO OIL LEFT IN THE CAR - THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THEN IT WAS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT OIL CHANGE. THEN LESS THAN 3,000 MILES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ADDED 4 QUARTS OF OIL TO IT AND ABOUT A MONTH LATER, IT WAS LOW AGAIN AND THE OIL WAS VERY DARK.
Electrical system, Feb 8, 2020
DOORS JUST STARTED NOT UNLOCKING OR LOCKING WITH FOB OR BY DOOR PANEL AND THE BACK UP ALARM BEEPS NON STOP AS SOON AS YOU PUT IT IN REVERSE, ALL SENSORS ARE CLEAN.
Exterior lighting, Feb 6, 2020
THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE REPEATEDLY BURNED OUT. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT I HAVE REPLACED THE RIGHT SIDE LOW BEAM 8-10 TIMES AND THE LEFT SIDE 3-5 TIMES. IT'S BEEN ROUGHLY A 2:1 RATIO. THIS LAST TIME BOTH HEADLIGHTS BURNED OUT WITHIN AN HOUR OF EACH OTHER AT NIGHT. FORTUNATELY I KEEP AN EXTRA BULB IN THE CAR AND I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE OUT ONE OF THEM SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO DRIVE HOME WITH NO HEADLIGHTS AT ALL. THIS WAS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND WHILE I DON'T SEE A RECALL I DO SEE THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE POSTED ON FORUMS THAT THEY'RE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. JUST AS A POINT OF REFERENCE MY 2014 SILVERADO HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED IN 2017 AFTER AN ACCIDENT AND HAVE I HAVE YET TO REPLACE A HEADLIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE CHEVY APPROXIMATELY THE SAME NUMBER OF MILES AS THE KIA.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STARTED SHAKING, KNOCKING, AND DECELERATING AS I TRIED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE.

Engine, Jan 28, 2020
THE ISSUE IS THE ENGINE IT'S BURNING THE OIL AND ONE OF THE RECALL THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A KNOCKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE AND THATS THE PROBLEM THAT I'M HAVING. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE ROAD WHEN I SMELLED THE BURNING OIL. NOW MY MECHANICS SAYS THAT I HAVE TO REPLACE A ENGINE THAT ONLY IS 6 YRS OLD

TODAY I WAS DRIVING TO MY PARENTS HOUSE ON A LONG STRAIGHT AWAY HIGHWAY (55MPH SPEED LIMIT). I BEGAN PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS I GOT AROUND HIM MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, AND BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I PROMPTLY PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I CHECKED OIL LEVEL, WHICH WAS FINE. NO OBVIOUS OVER HEATING, SMOKE, OR LEAKS. I DECIDED TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS WERE STILL THERE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T START. IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD ASIDE FROM ONE TINY CRANK NOISE THEN NOTHING. LUCKILY SOMEONE STOPPED AND WE GOT THE CAR STARTED BY JUMPING IT. WENT TO THE LOCAL PARTS STORE AND MY BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR ALL CHECKED OUT OK. NO FURTHER LIGHTS OR ISSUES THE REST OF THE DAY. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED BUT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT LONG DISTANCE NOW. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THIS CAR BEFORE THIS.
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Jan 24, 2020
MY HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO BLOW OUT EVERY FEW WEEKS, NO MATTER WHAT KIND OF BULB I USE. LAST NIGHT WHILE ON A VERY DARK AND RAINY ROAD, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT FORCING ME TO DRIVE WITH MY HAZARDS WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. APPARENTLY, THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
Power train, Jan 21, 2020
WHEN VEHICLE IS NOW IN REVERSE AND YOU BEGIN TO TURN TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, THERE IS THIS UNUSUAL GRATING NOISE EMANATING FROM THE FRONT AXLE. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN ONCE VEHICLE IS IN FORWARD MOTION ( DRIVE) . THIS PROBLEM IS ON THE INCREASE.
Exterior lighting, Jan 17, 2020
THIS HEADLIGHT PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING WITH KIA AND SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2016 WITH 26,000 MILES. AND I REPLACED MANY HEADLIGHT BULBS THEN DECEMBER 2019 WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET LED SAFETY DAYLIGHT HEADLIGHT BULB REPLACED. WAS TOLD NO BULB FOR IT ACCOUNT IT'S ENCASED IN HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND TO REPLACE WOULD COST OVER $900 FOR ASSEMBLY. AND TOLD NEVER SEEN THAT LIGHT EVER GO OUT. PRIOR TO THIS I ALREADY HAD THE OTHER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED FOR CONSTANT LIGHTING PROBLEMS. WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAD IN STOCK AND THAT TOLD ME KIA HAD A PROBLEM. VEHICLE NOW HAS 72,000 MILES ON IT. I CALLED KIA ASSISTANCE AND TOLD THEM OF PROBLEM WITH LIGHTS AND THE FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE OTHER ASSEMBLY. I WAS DENIED THE CLAIM EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM OF ALL THE LIGHTING PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS FILED WITH NHTSA. THEY WERE ON DEAF EARS. SO HERE I AM FILING MY COMPLAINT AND HOPING ENOUGH PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO KIA THAT THEY RECALL ALL MODELS WITH THE PROBLEM.

CAR WILL NOT LOCK DOORS WITH LOCK SWITCH IN FRONT DOORS AND WITH KEY FOB. THIS STARTED IN JUNE OF 2016 ON AND OFF CAR HAS BEEN TO CONCORD KIA 2 TIMES NOW IN THE LAST 4 YEARS IT WOULD LOCK ON AND OFF NOW ITS ALL THE TIME NOT WORKING AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET IT TO NOT WORK, WE HAVE READ THAT THIS IT AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF MODELS AND YEARS WITH KIA CARS, WE WERE TOLD IT COULD BE A BODY CONTROL MODULE COST IS ANY WERE FROM $800.00 TO OVER $1000.00 FOR REPAIRS
Electrical system, Jan 10, 2020
2014 KIA SORENTO WILL NOT LOCK THE DOORS USING THE KEY FOB OR THE DOOR PANEL. SO THIS MEANS I HAVE TO WALK AROUND EACH DOOR AND LOCK THEM BY HAND. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH HIGH CRIME AREAS. ONCE ALL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED I CAN PUSH THE LOCK BUTTON ON MY KEY FOB TO SET THE ALARM. I HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERY ON THE KEY FOB STILL THE SAME THING. WITH THIS GOING ON IT DOES CAUSE A SAFETY OF MY LOVED ONES.
Engine, Jan 10, 2020
2014 KIA SORENTO JUST QUIT WORKING. ME AND THE FAMILY WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE GOING 70MPH AND THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE THEN JUST LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE SAFELY.
Electrical system, Jan 6, 2020
POWER LOCKS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. DOORS DO NOT LOCK AND THIS OCCURS VARIABLY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS DOORS DO NOT LOCK AND I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. KIA DEALERSHIP STATES THERE ARE NO RECALLS ALTHOUGH MULTIPLE CONSUMERS REPORT SIMILAR ISSUES.
