During acceleration the engine rattles and jerks losing power until i take my foot off the gas pedal. engine is attempting to stall.
While being driven on city street to stop sigh, engine shut down and could not be restarted. attempt to jumper did not work.this was second incidence of this problem first time alternator replaced and engine then worked,for 2 weeks. car is now at kia dealer for evaluation. i s problem metal shavings in oil causing engine to fail ? could this be same problem with hyundai engines that were recalled. same engine ,same plant, same time frame. . .
Car stopped dead in road while being driven on city street.taken to kia deal who refused to even consider manufacturing default. upon examination determined there was metal shavings in oil which caused engine to seize. to replace engine they want to charge $6800 from what i have researched this has been a major problem for hyundai engines prompting a recall of over 600,000. same engine is used in this kia why has there not been recall on kia's with this enine?
2013 sorento started making a clicking noise that sounded like a loose fan belt. then while driving in city traffic and approaching a red traffic light, suv stalled. was able to start suv again and continued home with the engine making a loud clunking noise. roadside asst towed to dealer who said the engine failed and would need replacing. they also said it would not be covered under warranty. the car has been on the dealers lot for eight months because of the expense of replacing the engine..
In the past year my vehicle has lost complete power while driving twice. i was able to get the car off to the side of the road and restart it. but scares me to think this could happen while driving down the highway. it's not easy when you have no power to steer the vehicle off to the side. both times i was going approximately 40 mph.
No oil leak but every oil chang there is no oil steering is just not right
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 kia sorento. the contact stated that while driving at 65 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. the contact stated that the engine warning light remained illuminated shortly after. the vehicle was towed to a dealer and it was diagnosed that there was no oil in the engine and that the engine had blown. the contact stated that oil had been deposited into the vehicle recently before the stall of the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 79,000.
In late june my engine started s knocking noise while i was driving and all of the sudden the car stalled in the middle of the street. i tried turning it on and the engine just kept making the knocking noise. i had my car towed to a mechanic and he let me know that my engine needed to be replaced. in september, i received a letter from kia dated august 29,2016, stating that they were extending my warranty on my vehicle because of the exact issue i had with my engine in june. at this point, i have already paid for my vehcle to be fixed, but it's still not right.
Bought my kia on 6/17/2016 and today 3 days later i am driving the car and it starts powering down while i am at 70mph. scary to say the least. there is also a jerking forward movement that i get, but today was the scariest, the car actually stopped with no power while driving. i had to pull aside and restart the car. what the hell is this. m daughter could have been in the car. this is crazy a 2013 car shutting down in the middle on the road. totally unacceptable.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 kia sorento. while driving 20 mph, the vehicle made an abnormal noise. the vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 87,500. the vin was unavailable. updated 01/10/2017*ct consumer stated dealership replaced the parts 6/7/18*jb
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 kia sorento. while driving at various speeds, there was an abnormal sound followed by a loud metal noise coming from under the vehicle. the contact noticed smoke under the hood of the vehicle. the vehicle was maneuvered to the shoulder of the road where the contact noticed oil dripping under the vehicle and the engine was hot. the vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
I purchased my kia new in 2012. performed regular maintenance. it shut down while driving and smoke poured from the engine. the dealer said the block was cracked in two places and there was catastrophic engine failure. it has just over 100,000 miles. i have a van that has 270,000 miles and never had a problem with the engine. they told me there was metal shavings in the oil. when i found a garage to replace it for $1,000 less, that mechanic told me he just replaced an engine in a 2013 kia sorento that only had 30k miles on it. kia denied their warranty. i believe kia is a complete rip off. i hope i can get this traded in before this used engine does the same thing. i will never ever buy another kia.

Stopped for a red light in a residential neighborhood. when traffic light turned green realized the car had stalled out. was in " drive " and was not low on gas. put flashers on and shut off car. was able to restart car and drove home. called kia in smithtown where car was purchased and was told if i brought in car and it didn't stall while in their care the techs wouldn't be able to tell me why it happened.

I purchased the kia sorento new june 2013. i had my first oil change at the dealer at about 5700 miles on or about november 2013. the dealer told us that kia had the best warranty and only suggested oil changes at 7500-10,000 mile intervals. i purchased the oil and my father changed the oil 2 more times once in july 2014 and again september 2015. this vehicle was purchased for my wife who gave birth to our son three days after purchasing the vehicle. it was not driven often because she did not return to work until october 2013. as a teacher she only worked until may 2014 and did not return to work until september 2015. she worked less than 10 miles from home therefore our mileage was low. around december 9, 2015 my wife said the car was 'acting funny'. i told her to come home and i would have my dad look at it. when she came home the car appeared fine no lights, no warnings, no sounds that wasn't normal. the next day we were driving and the car it just stopped on the side of the road. again no warning lights, or engine light no low oil light... nothing. we had it towed to the dealership. the dealer took several days to tell us that the engine was blown because we didn't change the oil enough. we were not due for another oil change for 5000 miles. after a month of waiting kia told me they were not fixing under warranty. i have spoke to many people, dealerships, junk yards, mechanics... all say after only 30000 on the car no way it should have that much engine sludge to blow the engine even if it was never changed. this appears to be a major issue with kia and hyundai. fact: kia has had a previous class action lawsuit for the 2004-2009 kia sorento due to engine issues. fact: toyota had previous class action lawsuit for their engine sludge issues. (lost the case and is repairing the engines) fact: hyundai sonata has known issues - kia and hyundai same company!!!!

Takata recall, 2014 kia sorento lists power when i accellerate. sorento is very sluggish when driving down the highway it seems to jerk and lose power. this sluggish feeling happens almost daily, even if i have a tune up completed and all new filters. i have also tried different brands of gasoline to try and help with this issue. nothing seems to help. i am very concerned also about the mount of heat the engine gives off. the heat coming from the engine is so hot you can barely stand by the car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 kia sorento. while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled and was unable to be restarted. the vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced due to sludge build up. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure; however, the contact was informed by the manufacturer that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. the approximate failure mileage was 47,000.
On 3 separate occasions over the past 2.5 years the engine has completely stopped while i was driving on the freeway. i have narrowed down how to reproduce the problem: 1) set cruise control 2) shift into neutral 3) turn off cruise control quickly after shifting into neutral the problem doesn't happen every time, but when it does: 1) the engine stops immediately 2) a bunch of dashboard lights come on: check engine, oil pressure and others i can't remember 3) the power steering stops working (probably because the engine is off) this is very alarming! i generally work around the problem, but on 7/26 while traveling in wyoming (80 mph speed limit on i-25), the engine quit while i was going 80 mph! luckily the brakes still worked and i was able to get the car the side and restart. i could have easily wrecked. to restart the engine, i: 1) shift into park 2) turn off ignition 3) turn on ignition i mailed kia the above information two days ago and have not heard back. updated 9/15/15 *ln.... updated 09/30/15*bf
At 60,800 mile my kia sorentos engine blew. i took it to the service department believing it would be under warranty only to find out they voided my warranty stating i had excessive sludge in the engine. for more than a month prior to that incident we also had a airbag light illuminate and stay on. at the time of engine failure we thought that we could fix that issue as well only to find that my electrical warranty went out at 60,000 miles. i have been researching these items online only to find that there is multiple complaints of both engine failure and the airbag light illuminating which is said to be a control module. with the amount of complaints out there why is there no recall.
Purchased 2013 kia sorento brand new on 6/11/12, car was shaky and idled roughly on & off during the first year, seems to have resolved itself. on 12/22/14 while driving 35 mph on secondary road engine began to make a ticking sound. parked vehicle and had it towed the following day on 12/23/14 to kia dealership, they called me that afternoon and told me it was the oil control valve and it was ordered and requested for overnight and car would be done on 12/24/14. i called dealer on 12/24/14 @ 11:03am and part wasn't in yet was told that i'd be called when part arrived. received call from dealer at 2pm that part had arrived and been installed by tech but that engine was still making ticking noise, so not fixed. was told that they would have to start over again on friday 12/26/14 with request to kia warranty service for approval for "engine tear down", which i will also have to authorized and agree to pay $400.00 for (waived if all repairs are covered by warranty). this vehicle only has 53000 miles on it and has been driven for 30 months, all regular maintenance schedules followed and there should no way be an internal engine problem on a properly built engine. kia has some serious issues with the engine in this car and should have recalled the entire line of 2013 sorento's and corrected the problem. i was told by the service department at the dealer that " we may be looking at a new engine". i hope not, even though i could have a almost 3 year old car with no mileage i don't want one, if the first engine has this serious problem what would the second engine have. i am going to do everything in my power to hold kia responsible and make them cover under warranty. *tr
2013 kia sorento lx loss of accelerator control. i had just exited a 55mph boulevard onto a 35mph residential street. as i accelerated to the posted speed there was a ?pop?, the car lurched, and the engine light came on. the engine was still running but there was no response from pressing the accelerator pedal. i cut off the engine, waited a minute and restarted it. the engine, transmission and electrical all seemed to be fine but the accelerator was non-responsive. surprisingly the engine idle speed was sufficient to push the car along on moderately hilly roads. i managed to get the car to the kia dealer, where i purchased it, and left it with the service department. after i got home i did a google search for ?kia sorento acceleration? and found multiple reports of accelerator problems with 2012 through 2014 kia sorentos. http://www.kia-forums.com/2011-2013-xm-sorento-forum/76454-2012-sorento-disconnected-accelerator.html http://www.carcomplaints.com/kia/sorento/2013/engine/died_while_driving.shtml after reviewing the various posts i believe that the computer software upgrade that the service departments are loading are not going to resolve the issue, otherwise kia would not have been having this issue for several years. i believe the actual issue is a faulty part that has not been replaced or redesigned. if that is the case then i will have this issue again sometime in the future. the tech reported that they found 3 service codes. they cleared the codes, checked the computer software and "found old version". they reported that they updated the software and performed a throttle cleaning. they test drove the car twice and the engine light did not turn back on (no codes). *tr
Engine simply stopped while driving resulting in loss of braking and steering control. all indicator lights on dashboard came on when the engine shut off. coasted to a stop, put transmission in park and was able to restart the engine. took the car to kia dealer who said it needed a software update which was performed. the same problem of the engine shutting off happened the very next day. taking the car back to the dealer today. *tr

While accelerating on an incline the engine lost power all together and the engine light came on. kia needs to investigate immediately! *tr
On two occasions one month a part, while driving my 2013 kia sorento lx3 the engine light went on and the car was unable to shift rpm's and could not accelerate over 15/20 mph. the car went into "limp home" or safety mode when trying to accelerate and merge onto a 40mph and 50 mph highway. the car could not speed up to flow of traffic and was nearly rear ended by rush hour commuter bus with two small children in the back seat in chicago, il. kia service said car "fixed" twice. concerned about repeat problems and potential fatal accidents as result of some malfunction. *tr

We bought the vehicle new from kia dealer with 8000 mile in march 2013 and we did all the maintenance as prescribed . v6 3.6l 4x4 after 14 months while driving approximately at 20 - 25 mph, the vehicle suddenly would not accelerate. after turning the vehicle off and restarting the engine the vehicle operated as normal. this happened 2 times in 4 days in same circumstances. the mil came on friday 20 june and stay on until saturday 21 june. it happened again on sunday 22 june at almost the same speed. we take it at one close shop and they read the codes p2110; p2106; p0638 which are power train related and throttle actuator control range /performance. they didnt erase the codes. i dont know the reason but on monday 23 june the mil went off again. the car is functioning normal now but i dont know what to do i wonder if the codes are stored in the ecm. this seem to be verry dangerous it can happen anywhere and anytime and i wonder why kia didn't make a recall cause i see a lot a complaints as mine. i will take it to the dealer and keep you informed, i hope they will fix it under waranty. anyway this will be my last kia!!! *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 kia sorento. while driving low speeds, the vehicle constantly stalled without warning. the dealer (doug smith kay, 495 w main st, american fork, ut 84003, 801-692-4390) was unable to provide a permanent remedy to repair the vehicle; however, they recommended that the battery be replaced. the contact replaced the battery, but the failure continued. the vehicle was not included in nets campaign number: (engine and engine cooling) or manufacturer service campaign: sc-106, but the failure continued. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 20,000.

Car stalls at low speeds, refuses to go over 60 mpg and check engine light comes on. lose power at speed (on freeway) and tachometer goes to zero. this has happened many times and is getting to become a safety concern. have taken it into dealer who cannot find a problem with it, but i have two teenage daughters and i don't feel safe with them driving it. twice while driving on freeway the vehicle had a braking response when the accelerator was pressed. my daughter once had to hussle over to the shoulder in heavy traffic to turn the car all the way off and back on to reset it. many times it stalls while sitting at traffic lights.
As i was driving at about 15-20mph the car shut off completely as i was making a left hand turn without warning. this is the third time at different speeds since we purchased the vehicle in january 2014. we have taken it to kia dealership for repair, regular oil changes and maintenance. they were unable to find anything wrong , read any codes with computer or duplicate the problem. i am very concerned as this is our family car and it is a driving hazard not knowing when it will shut off with no warning, next time it could be in the middle of the intersection or freeway! we plan on taking back today to dealership. *tr
I was driving in traffic and all of a sudden, the car dies. the lights on the dashboard illuminate. i had to put the car in park, then tried starting the car again. after 2 times, the car turned back on fine. i brought the car to the dealer and there couldn't replicate the problem and didn't find any computer codes stored. this is quite a safety hazard and now i don't feel safe driving the car, especially with my kids in the car. *js
I have a 2013 kia sorento that has lost power numerous (10-15) times. it has occurred in multiple settings, at lights, driving down the street, but mostly while driving down a very busy interstate at 65-70 miles an hour. this car is going to get me, one of my grandbabies or someone else killed! once i turn on my hazzards and get the car over to the side of the road/median, turn it off and back on it starts and continues on down the road with the engine light on. the first time i took it in they told me the seal on the gas tank was bad and they replaced it. the second time i took it in they told me the computer couldn't find anything wrong. i'm taking it in first thing tomorrow morning as it happened on the interstate again this morning, wonder what they'll tell me this time?! i should have stuck with my 9 year old chevrolet, never had a single problem. please, please investigate this problem and force and find a fix" before" people are killed! *tr
I have owned this car for 1 week and while driving in the middle of traffic at about 35 mph it completely shut off! i almost caused a major accident! *tr
We have 2013 kia sorento, it is been few months we have this problem of shutting engine down when driving in slow speed around 35 to 40 miles sometime less and sometime stopping at traffic light or stop sign, also we noticed if we go over the street bumps or down hill like entering underground parking. been in dealer too many times, been contact by corporate office; every time we took the car to the dealer their answer was, we drove we could not find any problem and we have to take the car back, because they are driving in hwy with 70 or higher speed. few months back dealer called and informed us we have recall by kia and it is related to your problem, they flush the software and load new. car was running fine until few days ago shuts down two times in three days in malls public parking place and once at stop sign and both times cause problem for other cars. we took the car back to kia dealer and they called us back again with no result. i left the car at dealer and not going to get it back until they resolve this issue or give us our down payment back. this is not safe for my self and my family and other drivers and their family but i guess kia corp doesn't care and just wants to make money. *tr
Engine dies out unexpectedly. driving at low speeds the car will shut off. this has happened at least 3 times. once was in a parking lot. i was driving slowly and allowing pedestrians to cross in front of me. as i stopped for a person the engine completely shut off. i had to put it into neutral and restart in order to move. seemed fine after that. second time was in stop and go traffic. crawling along and stopping. as i slowly moved forward car died. again had to throw it into neutral and restart it. third time was stopped at a stop sign. started to turn right from stop sign and car died. again had to restart. this is a dangerous problem. if i was stopped then pulled into fast oncoming traffic and it died i could be hit. the dealership cannot duplicate the problem therefore cannot fix it. i have seen multiple complaints online about this. kia needs to determine the cause of the issue before someone is killed. *tr
While driving on the freeway at about 70 mph the car's accelerator stopped working and the engine light came on. i was in the lane next to the fast lane in los angeles. i quickly turned on my hazard lights and pulled over about 5 lanes to the shoulder. thank goodness it was late at night and i was able to pull over safely. i had four kids in the car driving home from magic mountain! i turned off the car and turned it back on and it worked fine the rest of the way home although i did stay in the slow lanes in case it happened again. this happened on a saturday. on sunday my husband drove the car a few miles to have lunch. the engine light was on when he left but then turned off when he was on his way home. took the car to the dealership on monday and they said i needed a computer update and that would fix the problem. they let me know this has happened to other cars and the computer update has worked. very disappointed in kia knowing this has happened and not sending a letter or letting us know about the problem to have us come in and get the update done. we could have been in a serious accident resulting in death. i hope this fixes the problem. this is the first kia i have owned and have loved the car up until this point. *tr
First incident : after a full stop at red light, as car took off, engine stalled out. had to try several times to restart engine. after restarted, the car drove fine. second incident : after slowing down the car to about 3mph and reaccelerating, engine stalled out. after a few tries to restart the engine, it restarted and drove fine. *tr
I have a 2013 kia sorento that i bought brand new with only 8 miles on it. i was at a stop light and my car lunged forward as if someone hit us from behind but there was no one there. so when the light turned green we started to go and noticed we had no power and the check engine light was on. we were able to get to the side of the road and turn off the car and called aaa and the dealership telling them what happened. so once it got there the service tech and it probably was the computer and it needed to be updated . i stayed there for about 1 hour while they did the update and then they test drove it and the check engine light came back on. so then they said it was the throttle body so they replaced it and test drove it again and the check engine light came on again. so they found that it was the pcm . not totally sure what that is. he says it was 1500$ part in the computer that was malfunctioning . but they had my car for a week doing the repairs and now is running good. they also have me a rental car. so in all the dealership did a good job fixing my car and wouldn't stop until it was fixed right. *tr
Driving through neighborhood approximately 25 to 30 mph, vehicle suddenly screeched to halt (i did not depress the brakes), engine light came on. all parts of vehicle were disabled (unable to steer, start, etc.) i was thrown forward despite seat belt on due to sudden and complete stop. thankfully, i was the only vehicle in the roadway at the moment. after several minutes of no response from vehicle with ignition issues, i was finally able to restart and continue my drive, as well as contact dealer for appointment to 'repair' this rampantly unsafe 2013 kia sorrento engine issue. i purchased this vehicle new in february 2013 with the notion that kia has a 5 star safety rating. after this incident and after reviewing other eerily similar complaints, i vehemently disagree with the rating. this is an extreme safety hazard. i drive to and from patient's homes for a living, often traveling freeways and in remote areas. i did not notice any issues with motor prior to 'computer upgrade' requested at last visit to dealer. i am hoping that kia resolves this obviously rampant issue before serious injury or death results from this problem. i will no longer transport my children in this vehicle until kia can remedy this situation. i am taking in to the same dealer who did 'upgrade' today to 'repair' if possible. i will also be contacting kia via phone and email contact as well as the dealer from whom i purchased my vehicle. all need to know that this engine failure issue is serious and could be fatal if not dealt with soon. *tr
about 6 months ago when my radio turned off and wouldn't turn back on. i took it into the dealership and they said that it must have been a one time thing because they we not able to duplicate the problem again. i went with it as this is the 3rd kia i have owned. on 12/5/13 i went to turn my car on and it didn't start, i waited a few seconds tried again and she started. the very next day 12/6/13 i drove to la with my son and on my way back down (90 miles away from home) the radio went out again and my car felt very sluggish. i couldn't call my husband as my bluetooth is connected to my radio and i was already on the road when the radio went out again. now today 12/11/13 i was driving on the freeway to a doctors appointment. as soon as i get off the freeway i am at a stop sign, i stop. when it is my turn to go is when my car decides to completely shut down! all the lights flickered, the radio went out and my car was still stuck in drive, on a slight hill. i immediately put my hazard lights on, put the emergency break on as i didn't want my car to roll backwards. after trying to restart my car about 4 times i was finally able to put the car in park and restart the car. but she was shaking the entire time until i finally parked the car and went to my appt. i purchased this car for safety as i have never had a problem with any of my other kia's. i will be taking it in to the dealership tomorrow and see what they say. after reading all of these complaints from people with the same exact issue i am looking at kia to recall this car. they shouldn't wait until a fatality occurs to rectify this issue. i live the california so after 3 times for the same reason it will fall under the lemon law but my concern is the safety of everyone else especially my 3 children that i am constantly transporting, and myself on my 140 mile drive daily. please recall this vehicle! ...
I was stopped in the left turn lane waiting for traffic to pass so that i could pull into a shopping center parking lot when suddenly everything shut off. i had first noticed the radio had shut off and then i realized that the entire engine had shut down as i could not move the vehicle. after putting the vehicle in park and turning the ignition off and the restarting it, i was able to resume driving. as this was the day before thanksgiving, i was not able to take the car to the dealership until the saturday after thanksgiving. similar to others here who have made complaints, the automotive technicians at the dealership were not able to find anything wrong with the car even after test driving it and having it connected to the computer. the problem has not occurred since taking it to the dealership. i thought that maybe this was just a fluke thing until i read all of the complaints here. kia really needs to find out what the issue is with these vehicles before someone gets seriously injured or killed. *tr
While driving in parking lot and breaking the engine stopped, engine light came on. car would not restart. took multiple tries to get gear shift into park. engine finally restarted. took in to dick hannah dealer to check codes, after 2 hours they could find nothing and had not heard of the problem. apparently they don't have internet access where this nhtsa site reports 14, now 15, of the same instances. this is a very unsafe situation & the dealers don't know about it........really. this is our first and probably last kia. this vehicle has had the electronic throttle failure while driving, faulty back seat latch, leaky power steering fitting draining most of the fluid out. *tr
The vehicle lost power when driving on the highway and check engine light came on.. i was lucky to stop the car on the road side. turned the vehicle off and restarted the car but the check engine line said not go off.drove the car for about a mile and lost power again. repeated the same step and restarted. reached home . this vehicle has had several problems, purchased the vehicle new with 10 miles. last month the fan was not turning off even after turning off the vehicle. today's incident could result in an accident if i was on the left lan. *tr
The engine is making an unusual amount of noise in the engine. it also is burning up to 3 quarts of oil between changes. i know that there is a recall on this vehicle. i have had it back to the dealer four or five times for this problem with no help. they tell me if it locks up they will fix it but not until. this is not acceptable. what do i do?
2013 kia sorento lx - v6 awd purchased 3/2013. on 10/19 at 11.5k miles on vehicle the transmission slipped and then lost most function at 45 mph . car limped home with check engine light on and spewing fluid.he next morning (sat)called kia roadside service and had car towed to nearest dealer. the dealer took vehicle and notified me later in the day transmission would be and ordered on monday. i was notified that car would be repaired with new trans and car would be ready on wed. the dealer called me a said the water pump was corroded and was out of coolant. a water pump was replaced and trans. i picked up the car on thurs and noticed fluid under the car the next morning. took the car back to the dealer the next morning, he stated they overfilled and now the problem solved (fri) y confidence shaken and not feeling safe, i traded in the vehicle (got fair market value) ,for a leased newer model. i have lost $7,000 for owning the vehicle 7.5 months, with 11.5k miles. i am arguing with kia motors foursome compensation, but their attitude is they will not do anything, suggested dealer discussion. i am continuing a dialoguewith kia, they need to be responsible. *tr
Vehicle shut down while in motion or making a left turn or a right turn at 25-35 mph... it is unsafe to drive.. i have taken the car to the dealer numerous of time and they still haven't fixed the problem and my wife and kids are the one that are always in there.. *tr
