On regular terrain the drivers seat became noticeably loose, and upon going over a speed bump and slightly rougher terrain, the seat is unstable and moves out of place. a few days later the sensor light appeared on the dashboard for the airbags. uncertain with how it happened, it is a major safety concern and should be addressed accordingly.
Controls on steering wheel for radio, and speed control and hands free phone features stopped working correctly you press the phone button and volume goes up or down hit mute and voice command goes on dials numbers at random startling you gives strange burning smell from steering wheel . the power seat button on drivers side work on and off has been bought to dealer for problems and the say the fixes wires for seat controls twice but still have problems. when turning wheel left or right has weird sound like tires are rubbing or skidding on loose rocks thought it was tires bought new ones but still happening dealer don't know what it is.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 kia sorento. while driving various speeds, the driver side seat began to wobble while turning the vehicle or going over speed bumps. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the lower seat frame failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 64,000.
This a serious safety issue. please take this seriously before someone burns alive.the third row seat is a deathtrap. it is immpossible to exit the third row seat when the second row seat is occupied. in case of an accodent or emergency the people in the third row cannot exit the vehicle- they are trapped. it would also be almost impossible for emergency personnel to rescue them if the 2nd row occupants are incompacitated. if the vehicle happens to catch fire the thirdrow ocvupents will likely perish unable to exit the third row. this could be remedied by replacing the 2nd row bench seat with two captains chairs which would allow an aisle to exit from the third row. thank you for your attention to this matter. please follow-up with me on this matter.
2014 kia sorrento. consumer writes in regards to the driver seat, accelerator and brake pedal issues. *smd the consumer stated the very large seats were a problem for her, as they were hard to adjust. the distance between the driver's seat and the accelerator pedal, in the most forward and highest seat position, was so great, she was only able to engage the pedals with her toes. the consumer stated she could barely see the hood and couldn't see or distance the front of the vehicle. therefore, she was forced to use both a manufacturer's vehicle seat cushion and a thick chair cushion underneath that, to be able to raise her body up and closer to the dash. also, there was and continues to be a subtle, chirping, rhythmic sound coming from the driver's side front tire or wheel well. the service technician stated he did not hear a noise. the traction light illuminated. the consumer discovered the tires had no traction, as they did not grip the road properly. she was informed the tires were inferior, so she was forced to purchase 4 new winter tires at a cost of $ 657.18. *jb updated 04/21/14. *jb
