Intermittent door lock & tailgate issues... sometimes they function properly and sometimes not. Problem is I spend the entire day at the dealers and the problem of course does not happen... so they can't diagnose or fix the problem ! they tell me to bring it back when it happens again ! so it happens again and repeat the previous scenario. Wtf... I want this issue fixed ! this issue happens when stopped, parked, day, night, sunny, rainy it does not matter ! why can't the dealers computer find this intermittent problem?

This past Saturday my children and I were driving back home to Utah county from Idaho and while on the freeway 3/4mile from the provo center street exit going 75mph we all of a sudden heard a very loud boom! it sounded like a bomb went off in our car, I was so confused and my kids were scared. There was wind coming in from somewhere, but I didn't realize immediately that it was the from the sunroof. I looked back where my children were seated and could see little black shards of something coming in through the sides of the fabric sunroof cover. While I was slowing down to pull over I asked my oldest son what the black stuff was, he said 'mom, it is glass.' I had my kids cover their bodies with their blankets that they had with them for protection against the flying glass, until I could slow down completely.once pulled off the side of the freeway I stood up on the outside of my driver door jam and could see that my sunroof had a giant hole in it and what little glass remained was shattered into thousands of pieces. There was not a semi or large truck in front of me that could have kicked something up onto my car. I don't recall ever running over anything or seeing anything flip up. I literally have no clue what happened. Now we are stuck with a huge bill and filing a claim on our insurance for something that I can't explain. For something that wasn't my fault nor another vehicles fault. I spoke with my local Kia dealership and they pretty much told me that I was sol because I am past the 5 year or 60,000 warranty. Windows are not just supposed to explode! this is not okay!

Vehicle was in motion when strange odor detected then smoke from engine area was noticed. Pulled car into parking lot and shut down engine because thought may be overheating. None of guages reflected this, however, there was no other logical explanation. Was goin to open hood when noticed flames. In matter of minutes, vehicle was completely engulfed in flames. Was a total loss.

While driving car in motion and without any warning lights on dashboard, car lost complete power. No steering, very hard braking and then all warning lights started flashing I had to struggle to get car off the road. I had just turn off the thruway going 60mph and in about 1.5 miles going appox 40 mph the incident happened. Something simular like this happened once before when the car was parked and I went to start it when all the dash warning lights started flashing and car would not start.I had it towed to dealer and they did not find what was wrong but car was ok until this recent incident.

The engine blew after a few days when warrenty expired after a dealer sent the car home saying unless we could prove or show a maintenance history of the car they would not do warrenty work. The car was bought used so we could not provide a long repair or maintenace record of the car. However we bought a extenended warranty that was not entered correctly in the system and the car was still sent cleared as being ok to drive even though the engine blew within a few days of dealer service in offallon il.every sorrento other than this year has been recalled for engine problems so why not ours.

Exterior lighting safety issue! last night as I was driving my low beam head lamps stopped working. The led lights above the head lamps work fine, my running lower lights and my high beams all work properly. Just my low beams no longer come on. Had to drive with hazards on. They do not come on after trying multiple times to restart car and turning them on both while driving and while being parked. Such a dangerous situation. I have read many complaints about the same issues happening! how do I fix this? I cannot believe Kia has not made this a recall yet for obvious safety issues - absolutely baffling

I was in my car around 5:45 am on Dec. 23,2018, in the driveway of our place in the country (400 0akwood drive huntsville tx 77320) the car was running and in park. I was checking messages and emails for maybe 7 to 10 minutes when a flash of light made me look up. Thats when I seen flames coming from the front of the car. I turned the engine off and tryed to leave the car but the door didn't open. It was locked and the electric door unlock button was no longer working. I pulled on the manuel unlock and was able to get out of car. My neighbor was out side coming to help but I asked him to call fire dept. He informed me that was already done. I ran a got my garden hose and poured water on the fire but fire was way to big and hot for a garden hose so I sprayed the grass around the car and put out the fires that stared when parts of the hot car exploded and landed away from the car.

Acceleration. When I accelerate it hesitates to pick up. Very dangerous as I was trying to merge into the highway or merge into a different lane it did not accelerate quickly enough and the vehicles in that lane had to brake hard as I entered that lane almost rear ending my vehicle. Even if I press the gas pedal hard it does the same thing, it hesitates before speeding up. Another issue is the door lock button from both driver and passenger sides work sometimes and doesn't work sometimes. Even when I'm driving the doors would not lock with the auto door lock feature on when vehicle gets in motion. I have to manually push the lock button for each door and when I manually lock the doors that is when the door lock/unlock buttons will work properly. Had children in the back seat and while I tried to lock the door it would not lock. Had to pull the vehicle over to hand lock each door. But very dangerous either way because I can't control what kids will do in the back in middle of the highway and if I try to lock the door I won't be able to.

Car stopped operating while driving down interstate, and won't restart

- Lake Alfred, FL, USA

Driving at approx 70 mph on the highway the engine began making a faint knocking sound which very quickly turned into a more rapid hectic knocking sound. As I was exiting the freeway the sound continued to intensify and the engine knocking then became extremely loud almost completely disabling the vehicle on the highway. This happened very quickly leaving me very little time to react to the problem. This was due to a connecting rod bearing failure.

Engine recall my vehicle is in the dealership for the engine recall I also had to have the steering wheel replaced 2 times due to wiring or button malfunctions. Along with the usb port on the stereo. The issue happened again after the warranty coverage ended for that part and they refuse to fix it again after warranty even though it has been a known issue. The usb port comes loose constantly and will not work- they want me to buy a whole new radio to correct this. The volume button on the steering wheel has had issues in the past and now no longer works... again they want me to get a new steering wheel to correct this...

My vehicle was manufactured in the Georgia plant but was not part of the 2 previous recalls, even though it was manufactured that the same time, because it has the lambda 3.3L V6 engine. After all the troubles I have had with the vehicle, locks dont unlock, engine is failing, and now there is a problem with the valves. A valve can be heard tapping in my cars engine, it sounds and feels (vibrations can be felt by hand) that it is almost certainly in bank 2 (towards front of car) almost directly below/behind the high pressure fuel pump. Now hypothetically if I were on the highway and the valve dropped, consequently punching a whole in the cylinder head, forcing oil through the whole, and igniting it, I would think that it wouldnt take more than a few moments for the flames to catch the high pressure fuel pump and very shortly after engulfing the entire engine and vehicle in flames. I am also sure their are likely many other scenarios that are possible, but with all the engine problems my vehicle has been having while still under 80K miles. This one seems pretty terrifying to me, especially with 3 young children in the back with doors that dont unlock! and of course Kia is too busy trying to twist the situation and blame consumers to even C oi nsider doing the right thing and standing behind their own products. I have hardly driven my vehicle at all since the engine started failing in June, and I believe it has always had this noise (dealership had insisted it was the gdi normal noise when I purchased the vehicle)to last week O happened to NJ price the nk oise getting louder and asked a mechanic what is could be. That mechanic stated it definately sounded like a valve.

Recall : it isn't on recall list but having the same problems the other recalls for same vehicle and year. Was driving and engine stalled on the loop, I was almost hit by multiple cars. I finally got the Kia to start and it began to make loud tapping noise and not letting rpms reach 3K. Nobody seems to want to help since the car only has 87K miles and now the engine is failing for no reason. I believe if the engine is doing the same thing as the other recalls, why haven't there been a recall on this Kia.?? I've tried calling dealers and etc nobody is helping me.

ABS and traction control light goes on and off as I am driving. Sometimes, the speedometer moves quickly over the incorrect speeds so I have no clue what speed I am going. It's only a four year old car with 56,000 miles. Also, same vehicle has issue with the gas tank door. Cannot open using the switch inside the car. Must use the emergency pull inside a trunk compartment.
