My car has stalled plenty of times within 3 months. Two of which I could have been killed on the hwy!. car stalls, no power then shuts off. I would shut it off for a bit then turn it back on. I did take it in to the shop and they found nothing else but was charged for throttle and new sparks.oh, and no lights on dash. Same thing happened. Lots of money spent. I still owe on it so I can't afford to get another car. Don't know what to do next.

A few months ago my rear brakes suddenly started making noise. I maintain my vehicles very well so I was surprised it happened so suddenly. When I took it in they told me the calipers had slipped and my brakes and rotors needed replacing. I noticed a leak in my garage as well. Never received a recall or warning notice from Kia. When I entered my VIN my vehicle doesn't fall under the recall even though that's exactly what happened to my vehicle. I didn't even realize this until I was looking for a recall 9N a different issue.

Thousands of Kia Sorento 2011 owners has same issue with the door. If we go to Kia, they charge $400 for one door lock! crazy! so many Kia owners don, T want a Kia anymore. Me either

Rear right wheel speed sensor replaced at 136,000. Asb, brake and traction lights all on. Was driving appox 45 miles per hour on city street, no reason for loghts to suddenly come on. Owners manual indicated that battery should be checked for low charge, new battery not indicated in this situation. Had replaced brakes, pads and rotators three months previously. Got three qoutes and Kia was $250 more that the other repair options and the indepentent companies included purchasing the sensor from Kia.

My rear caliper has failed shortly after replacing all 4 rotars, and brake pads. Now I am facing a rather expensive bill that I cannot afford on a limitted income as I am disabled. I am also lucky that this malfunction did not cause me to crash the vehicle. I noticed my gas mileage had significantly gone down, and the rear or the vehicle was dragging, and I also heard what sounded like something dragging on the ground und erderneath the vehicle. That's when I noticed a groove being dug into my rotar by the brake pads locked in the on position.

While diving down the road, the rear passenger side gear box shattered.

My brake lamp switch/ stoplight switch appears to be faulty or failing, as my brake lamps are not lightning up when I press my brake pedal, nor will my car go into park or reverse when this happens. If it's when I first crank the car, then it will not go out of park when the brake pedal is pressed. Also, the ESC light and the dbc light comes on when this happens. My pedal/gear shifter won't make the clicking vibration noise that can even be felt in my foot and hand in order to shift the car into a gear or out of gear. This appears to be a very common problem in Kia and I do see a recall that was for 2006-2011 Kia Sorento vehicles. My VIN is not showing as part of the recall, but I'm having the same exact problem, and this is a safety issue because I can be rear-ended and even killed in an mva with no brake lamps. Kia should cover this replacement for me.

When driving at stable speed the vehicle often "feels" as if the gas is not getting to the motor. The speed of the car varies, regardless of the amount of pressure on the gas pedal. The car also shows low tire light, along with all lights on the dashboard at random times. The lights will appear when you start the vehicle and the tire pressure light remains on at all times.
