Kia Motors America (Kia) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Optima and 2014-2015 Sorento vehicles previously recalled under recall 20V-519. Brake fluid may leak inside the Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU), possibly resulting in an electrical short.
An electrical short in the HECU increases the risk of a fire while parked or driving.
Owners are advised to park outside and away from other vehicles and structures until the recall repair is completed. Dealers will install a new multi-fuse, and inspect the HECU for leaks, replacing the HECU if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 2, 2021.

TOWED TO CLOSEST KIA DEALER WHO SAYS ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $16 THOUSAND!!! KELLY BLUEBOOK WORTH OF VEHICLE IS APPROX. $8,000. RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM DOESN'T SEEM TO EXTEND BEYOND 2014 ENGINES ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NUMEROUS DOCUMENTED CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OF SAME PROBLEM IN LATER YEAR KIA'S. HELP!

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT IN A GRAIN SILO TOWN IN KANSAS (COMING UP ON OAKLEY FROM COLORADO SPRINGS) AND THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME. THE WEATHER WASN'T DRASTICALLY CHANGING AND THERE WAS NO ADVERSE WEATHER. SUDDENLY, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION ON THE TOP OF MY CAR. THE FABRIC PARTITION THAT SEPARATES THE SUNROOF FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY IN THE WIND AND THERE WAS SOME GLASS SHARDS THAT FELL INTO THE CAR. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT THE INCIDENT SCARED BOTH ME AND MY TWO KIDS WHO WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME. I PULLED OVER TO THE CLOSEST GAS STATION AND TOOK A LOOK AT THE DAMAGE (SEEN IN THE PICTURE BELOW). AS I HAD THE REST OF MY ROAD TRIP TO ACCOMPLISH (KANSAS CITY, MO), MY HUSBAND MET ME IN OAKLEY, KS WITH HIS CAR AND WE MADE THE EXCHANGE. I AM A VERY METICULOUS DRIVER WHO INSPECTS EVERYTHING BEFORE A ROAD TRIP: TIRE PRESSURE, WINDOW CRACKS, INTERIOR IS INTACT, DRASTIC CHANGE IN WEATHER ALONG THE TRIP, ETC. I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT TO LOOK AT THE SUNROOF AND EVEN IF I DID, I'M NOT SURE I WOULD HAVE FOUND ANYTHING. IF I WERE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY I COULD WRITE THIS WHOLE INCIDENT OFF AS MAYBE A STRAY ROCK. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NOTHING AROUND ME.

MY SON WAS PULLED OVER AND THE OFFICER SAID THERE WERE NO OPERATING REAR LIGHTS. NOTICED THAT YOU HAVE TO TURN THEM ON AND OFF TO COME ON. THEN ON ANOTHER DAY THERE WERE NO BRAKES GETS LIGHTS EITHER. I INFORMED SOUTHWEST KIA MESQUITE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE LIGHT SWITCH BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR OTHER MODELS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THAT MODEL. THEY CHARGED ME TO FIX THIS SAYING ALTHOUGH IT WAS RECALLED IN THEIR OTHER MODEL THE SORENTO WAS NOT RECALLED. AFTER THEY INSTALLED THEY SAID I SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS. THEY EVEN DID ANOTHER INSEPCTION A WEEK OR SO LATER (12/20/2019) SAYING THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE TO TRAVEL AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WHILE ON THE ROAD TRIP WITH MY FAMILY WE NOTICED THAT THE TWO MAIN BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT WORKING. WE TRIED TURNING LIGHTS ON AND OFF AND THEY STILL DIDNT WORK. KIA HAS PLACED MY FAMILY IN DANGER. WE ARE OUT OF STATE AND HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING THE CAR BACK TO TEXAS SAFELY. KIA HAS EXHAUSTED ALL OF MY MONEY AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED ANYTHING. THE CAR IS UNSAFE. I GOOGLED AND FOUND THATB A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH KIA'S WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THEY WONT OWN UP THAT SOMETHING IS WRING WITH THE SORENTO, CRUISE CONTROL SYSTEM, BACK AND BRAKE LIGHTS. MY REAR LIGHTS SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. IS KIA WAITING FOR FATALITIES BEFORE THEY DEAL WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE SORENTO? HOW MUCCH LONGER ARE THEY GOING TO CONTINUE TO RIP PEOPLE OFF AND LEAVE THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES UNSAFE? I TRANSPORT KIDS AS I AM A CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES CASEWORKER AND THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE. ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT KIA HAS EXHAUSTED ALL OF MY FUNDS THAT I CAN'T RENT NOR GET ANOTHER CAR WHILE OUT OF STATE FOR CHRISTMAS STUCK ON THE ROAD.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY SUV LOOSE EXCELARATE AND ENGINES LIGHT AND OIL PAN LIGHT CAME ON I PULLED OVER AND ENGINE SHUT DOWN TRY TURNING SUV OVER AND IT DID NOT TURN OVER I HAD IT TOWED AND MACHANIC SAID THE ENGINE IS FREEZE UP.
Engine, Dec 14, 2019
AFTER LAST OIL CHANGE APROX. 3 MONTHS AGO. NO ISSUES UNTIL LAST WEEK WHEN SUV WOULD SOUND LIKE IT'S ACCELERATING REALLY FAST BUT NOT GOING VERY FAST. ON STARTUP I KEPT HEARING A SQUEALING AND GRINDING SOUND. ONE DAY OUT DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING MY CAR SEEMS TO LOOSE POWER IF I TOOK MY FOOT OFF GAS. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO SAID THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN USING THE MACHINE TO READ CODES IT READ P0014 AND P0024 (CAMSHAFT POSITIONING SENSORS) WAS TOLD TO CHECK WIRES AND SENSORS DIDN'T SEEM TO BE THE ULTIMATE PROBLEM. DURING IT'S LAST VISIT TO THE MECHANIC IT DRAINED OUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL BUT NO OIL HAD BEEN LEAKING ANYWHERE. CRUDE WAS INSIDE THE OIL CHECK TUBE.
Engine, Dec 6, 2019
HEADING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT SHUT DOWN AND I COASTED IT OFF THE ROAD. WE DISCOVERED THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT BUT HAD NO OIL LIGHT WARNING OR ANY OTHER SIGNS IT WAS LOW ON OIL. THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED A FEW MONTHS BEFORE AND WAS DUE TO BE CHANGED IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. NOW MY KIA NEEDS AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT THAT I CAN'T AFFORD AND SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED IT IS NO LONGER UNDER THE KIA WARRANTY. I'M MAKING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT I CAN'T DRIVE AND I SEE NO REASON THAT THE OIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN EMPTY ESPECIALLY WITH NO WARNING LIGHT.
Engine, Dec 3, 2019
MY SORENTO HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON IT & IS KEPT WELL MAINTAINED. I WAS DRIVING ON THE TURNPIKE (60MPH) AND HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I PULLED OVER AND THE OIL, CHECK ENGINE, AND ANOTHER LIGHT GAME ON AND I COULD NOT RESTART MY CAR. I HAD TO GET TOWED OFF THE VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. THE SHOP SAID MY MOTOR HAD COMPLETELY FAILED AND I WOULD NEED A NEW ONE WITH A QUOTE AROUND $6,000 AFTER INSTALLATION FEES. A WELL MAINTAINED 2015 CAR SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY DISHEARTENING FOR A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE ON A CAR THAT IS NOT EVEN 4 YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 65,000 MILES.

2015 KIA SORENTO AWD ENGINE SEIZED. I WAS DRIVING AND WITHOUT AND WARNING THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND WONT START. I FOUND OUT THIS IS NOT NEW. NOW I HAVE TO FIND OUT HOW TO CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF MY WIFE AND KIDS WITHOUT A CAR. I'VE SEEN SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE I HAVE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO INVESTIGATION AND THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION RECALLS FOR THE SAME THING HAVE BEEN SENT OUT BUT NOT FOR THE 2015 KIA SORENTO. I REALLY HOPE SOME ONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I WAS ON A BUSY ROAD SLOWING DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT AND CAR SHUT OFF ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AGAIN NO WARNINGS. I ALSO SMELLED SMOKE LIKE WIRES BURNING.
Engine, Nov 22, 2019
VEHICLE HAS 85,940 MILES ON IT AND HAS A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. I BOUGHT IT IN APRIL AND IT HAS RUN FINE. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE BLOCK BY THE CONNECTION POINT WITH THE HEAD GASKET COVER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE ENGINE. THIS IS NOT EXPECTED FROM A ~4 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH < 100,000 MILES THAT'S ONLY DRIVEN ABOUT 10 MILES A DAY M-F ON ROADS WITH SPEED LIMITS BELOW 45 AND VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC.
Exterior lighting, Nov 20, 2019
THE LOW BEAMS HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT AT ALL YOU CAN'T SEE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU YOU'RE TURNING CORNERS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BRIGHT SO YOU CAN'T SEE PEOPLE CROSSING THE STREET. ALSO IF YOU TURN OFF YOU HEADLIGHTS WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE DASHBOARD IS STILL VISIBLE SO YOU CAN'T TELL IF YOUR HEADLIGHTS ARE ON OR OFF.

BOUGHT MY KIA SORENTO ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO. IT HAD ABOUT 64,000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 87,000. WE NOTICED HEAVY OIL CONSUMPTION WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF OWNING IT. NO OIL LEAKS EXIST. AT FIRST IT WOULD NEED ABOUT A QUART OR SO BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, BUT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE BECAUSE NOW WE NEED ALMOST 3 BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. OIL LIGHT BEGAN FLICKERING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY ON THE HIGHWAY HEADING HOME FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE STICK TO FIND THAT IT'S ESSENTIALLY DRY. I BUY THE RECOMMENDED OIL AT THE GAS STATION I'M AT AND ADD IT. JUST BEFORE FINALLY ARRIVING HOME THE ENGINE BACK TO SPUTTER AND LOSE POWER ACCOMPANIED BY A TAPPING NOISE. ANOTHER CRAPPY KIA ENGINE THAT DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO 100,000. THEY BETTER FIX THIS.
Engine, Nov 14, 2019
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND BEGAN TO MAKE A STRANGE NOISE AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT DECELERATED AND I EXITED CLOSEST EXIT. IT THEN DIED AT STOP LIGHT. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND ENGINE NEEDED REPLACED.
Exterior lighting, Nov 8, 2019
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM AND ARE NOT REPARABLE WITH BULB REPLACEMENT. WE WERE TOLD THE HOUSING IS FLAKING.
Engine, Nov 7, 2019
BLOWN HEAD GASKET AND CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. WE NOTICED A SMELL OF BURNING ANTIFREEZE WHEN WE PARKED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN AND THE ENGINE BLOCK WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.
Other or unspecified, Oct 29, 2019
MY KIA SORENTO SOMETIMES WON'T START. WHILE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY, WE'LL TRY AND TURN ON AND FOR SOME REASON, WON'T START AND COME BACK LATER IN THE DAY, IT'LL START. MY KIDS DRIVE THIS CAR AND I DON'T WANT THEM STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE IT WON'T START. IN FACT, MY 17 YEAR OLD WAS STRANDED DUE TO THE CAR NOT STARTING AND HE HAD SIT AROUND AND WAIT FOR CAR TO BE READY TO TURN ON. I'VE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NO REAL SOLUTION. ONE TIME WHEN IT DID NOT START, I SPENT $160 TO TOW IT TO A KIA DEALERSHIP. WHEN THE CAR ARRIVED, THE DEALER TURNED ON THE KEY AND IT STARTED. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T DIAGNOSE IT UNTIL IT FAILS TO START AGAIN WHICH MEANT LEAVING THE CAR THERE UNTIL IT DECIDES NOT TO TURN ON. THIS IS UNPREDICTABLE SO WE TOOK THE CAR AND IT STARTED FINE FOR TWO WEEKS AND AGAIN, IT FAILED AFTER THAT TWO WEEKS. WITH SO MANY ONLINE COMPLAINTS AND KIA CLAIMING THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS, THIS HAS TO BE UNSAFE. ONLINE, SOME REFER TO THE ISSUE AS HAVING TO DO WITH THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM. DOESN'T KIA KNOW THIS? SOME COMPLAINTS NOTED THAT THEY'VE FIXED THE BATTERY AND STARTER AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN IS KIA GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE COMPLAINTS AND RECALL THE INTERMITTENT START ISSUE?

ALTERNATOR FAILS CAR BATTERY GOES DEAD CAUSING YOU TO HAVE A HARD TIME STEERING AND UNABLE TO SHIFT GEARS ROLL DOWN WINDOWS OR USE SAFETY FLASHERS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO POWER! WE HAD BEEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY GOING 70 AND WERE SO LUCKY TO HAVE JUST PULLED INTO OUR BANK WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED!! A FEW MINUTES EARLIER AND MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING WOULD OF CRASHED BECAUSE OF LOST OF POWER STEERING GOING OUT AND WEAK SHOULDER STRENGTH FROM SHOULDER SURGERY. THE CAR IS 23 DAYS OVER 5 YEARS AND HAD 43757 MILES AT5 TIME OF FAILURE. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE THE ALTERNATOR FAILURE IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE ALTERNATOR IS UNDERPOWERED FOR ALL IT IS ASKED TO DO MUCH IN THE WAY OF THE 2000-2007 KIA SPECTRA WHICH IS A RECALLED VEHICLE>

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THEN IT SLOWED DOWN TO 40 MPH AND CUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. I CRANKED IT BACK UP AND IT MADE A WEIRD NOISE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THERE IS NO WAY THAT IT SHOULD BE HAVING MOTOR ISSUES. THE OIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN CHANGED ON TIME. ALSO I HAVE TO CHANGE THE HEADLIGHT BULBS ON THE LEFT AND RIGHT
Electrical system, Oct 7, 2019
OCCASIONALLY THE AIR CONDITIONING BLOWS ON THE FLOOR, EVEN THOUGH THE CONTROLS ARE SET FOR UPPER VENTS. SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON TRIPS MORE THAN 2 HOURS. ONCE YOU TURN OFF VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR AND THEN RESTART IT, IT SEEMS TO CORRECT ITSELF.
Power train, Oct 5, 2019
WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPMS WENT UP BUT THERE WAS NO INCREASE ACCELERATION. I MOMENTARILY LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE GAS AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPEN IN THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THE VEHICLE HAS 43,237 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE OWNED IT FOR THE PAST FIVE MONTHS.

SUNROOF EXPLODED GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.
Engine, Sep 29, 2019
THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR TURNED OFF WHILE WE WERE DRIVING. WE WERE ON THE HWY. WHEN IT DID START IT WOULD ACCELERATE AND THEN DECREASE IN SPEED ON ITS OWN. WE TRIED TO FIND THE CODE BUT IT DIDN'T REGISTER ANY THING WRONG.
Engine, Sep 26, 2019
2015 SORENTO ENGINE DIED ON ME TWICE IN ONE DAY, ONCE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES AFTER THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME WAS BREAKING AND THE OTHER TIME AFTER I TURNED ONTO MY STREET. I HAD TO PULL OVER BOTH TIMES AND RESTART THE CAR. IT'S NEVER DONE THIS UNTIL TODAY 9-26-19. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED DUE TO THE ENGINE DYING ON ME WHILE DRIVING. APPARENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE.

2015 KIA SORENTO WITH 44,000 MILES. ON THE FREEWAY AND THE MOTOR LOCKED UP. TOAST. KIA COVERING BUT HAS LESSER VALUE AND THEY KNEW THIS MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE
Electrical system, Other or unspecified, Sep 24, 2019
I HAVE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL/WIRING PROBLEM. WHENEVER IT RAINS OR I GO TO THE CARWASH, I AM GUARANTEED TO HAVE MY HEADLIGHT, BRAKE LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL LIGHT TO GO OUT BECAUSE IT GETS WET. ALSO, I HAVE A BAD VIBRATION IN MY FRONT WHEELS WHILE I AM DRIVING. I HAVE HAD MY ROTORS REPLACED WITH NEW ROTORS AS WELL AS BRAKES. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES REBALANCED AND ROTATED AND IT STILL VIBRATES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE KIA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR ISSUES. THE VIBRATION DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, IT VIBRATES WHEN I ACCELERATE. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT THE SPEED, IT WILL VIBRATE.
